The room they assigned to me is not the room i reserved. I was shocked when i found out that i was given a handicap room. Room doesn't have a bathtub , instead it's a shower with the same level as the bathroom floor. Water flows all over the bathroom when you shower because of poor drainage. Totally unsafe because it's slippery.I complained and asked the staff if they could move me to another room. They said "NO" because i booked the room through a third party. They told me i should have book from the Hampton inn website instead of Hotels.com. this will be my last one for sure making reservation on this hotel. I would also share my experience with all my colleagues.

Hamid

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I had a very unpleasant stay at this hotel. Despite the Hampton Inn name, the room conditions were far below expectations. There were bugs, cockroaches, and even spiders in the room, which was extremely disappointing and unacceptable for a hotel at this price level. The floors were dirty, and my kids’ socks and clothes became filthy within minutes of walking around. It clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. It also seemed like only one staff member was handling everything, which made it difficult to get help when needed. When I brought up the issues, I was told the hotel is “going to be remodeled,” but no one could say when. That doesn’t help guests who are staying here now. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend staying here until the hotel is properly cleaned, staffed, and remodeled.

Exterior looks great but the rooms are very dated inside. Upon arrival, noticed the towels were all stained. The bedding top covers too. The fan in the AC unit would not turn off even though the thermostat was turned off. We were told all the rooms on the top floor were taken even thought we checked in early. Late at nite once we were in bed, we could hear so much stomping and ruckus from above. We could barely sleep, including my small children. The breakfast was just ok. The yogurts were not cold and the oatmeal looked like water. The staff tending to the area was so harsh when I asked a question. Overall not a great stay.
