Our little get away was amazing there! I had my 2 & 4 year old there and my 2 year old is always making messes with food still and the cleaning ladies were absolutely wonderful coming to vacuum for us, our room was always tidy when we came back from doing stuff around town, we did get like a negative feel from the older breakfast lady but other than that it was great! We hope to come back!

I reserved a room with 2 queen beds and got a room with 1 king. The sink by the fridge would not drain. The person at the front desk said they would bring a roll away bed to our room and we had to get it ourselves!

We enjoyed our stay at the Hampton. It was close to the Mid-America Center (where our dance competition was) and easily accessible from interstate. Hotel was clean. Room was comfortable and in good condition. Breakfast was great with hot and cold options available. Parking is free on site. We were very happy with our stay!
