Everyone was super friendly and the room was great! One disappointment was that there were issues with the hot tub near the pool. When I do go away, which isn't often, I search for a hotel with hot tub/pool. The hot tub was closed when we arrived due to heat levels. We were able to use it briefly later on, although still very hot. I wanted to use it in the morning, it was scalding and definitely not usable. I have been to this hotel before and it wasn't a problem then, I'm hoping in the future to try again:(. Thank you.

Moved to 3 rooms before found one where the heat was working. First room was extremely cold upon checkin and wouldn't warm up. Found out there was very cold outside air coming thru the windows that could not be readily fixed. Second room, the thermostat was not operational and it kept reverting back to air conditioning. Third room, okay. Recommend staff keep the HVAC in working and operational order and check rooms for issues prior to someone checking in.

The water in the tub & bathroom was brown. I was not comfortable taking a bath or shower. I was on a 10 day trip. Hampton Inn is usually my go to place to stay. My stay on the early part of the trip was great. This particular night was horrible. The desk was notified but not really interested in my comments. Stayed elsewhere the rest of my trip.
