The stay was fine. Parking is an issue. $40 to park in the hotel lot. You can park on the street for free but the signage is somewhat conflicting. I wouldnt stay there again because of this. The room was fine. Like any hotel room.
All of this was right outside my window.  It was loud and shook the whole room when it was in operation.  Don't pick room 331

Great Location. Not as comfortable as other Hampton Inn properties I have stayed at. Our room on the 4th floor was not quiet. Noise from the housekeeping supply room, guests in the hall and thin walls between the rooms. Bring your ear plugs and you will sleep well.

Great location with lots of food options around. Plenty of parking nearby. Hotel rooms were huge with coffee facilities, microwave and fridge. Coffee available in the lobby which was nice. Breakfast choices limited but sufficient. Pool was a little cold but lovely touch. The only thing we didn’t like was not being able to open a window in the room.

Great valet - although for $40/day it should be. Clean room each day. We had a bunch of kids during our stay who were super loud and slamming doors - but thankfully they settled down by 11:00pm. Breakfast could be a bit better - super basic.
