Room was good as always, TV was not working management found a temporary fix, offered to move us to a different room. This hotel and room 601 will always be our go to spot when we come to visit our kids and grandkids. The entire staff here needs to be acknowledged by corporate for the above and beyond customer service they provide!!!

Staff was awesome upon check in, only issue was that the first night we were woke up 3 times after 00:30 hours for three false fire alarms, management did not offer any explanation or offer any compensation for having to evacuate the room with each false alarm.

Staff not very welcoming. I thought I was in an old La Quinta or Motel 6. Very expensive hotel not to the standards of a Hampton Inn. Breakfast quality was low. Elevator floors all cracked and unswepted. Coffee or other stains on bed skirts. Comfortable beds. Just not worth $200 a night. Not clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
When I checked into the room there was wax that had spilled on the carpet in about ten different spots. It looked as if they tried to clean two spots and since it didn't clean very well they didn't bother cleaning the other spots. Talked to front desk and they said they knew about it. So they just left it there on floor to rent to someone else. Called manage and have left messages asking for him to call and no return call. Other than that be disgusting. The rest of the hotel was ok. Just upset that they can confront me and make it right for the customer.

For the price they charged, the breakfast offered was not good. Bananas overly ripe, powdered eggs were horrible. They would do better to lower the price of the room and not offer breakfast.

Air conditioning did not work properly, very humid in room. Looked like fresh blood/ vomit stains on floor that we asked to be cleaned but didn’t get done. Also stains on bed covering and we took it down to get a new one. Beds not made on our second day. Definitely overpriced for what it has become.

An overall good weekend with a couple complaints

Waited a bit to check in. The woman at the front was friendly and helpful. I feel like dogs were welcome not just tolerated. Plenty of spots for my dog to relieve himself with bags and garbage. The hotel location was perfect for our trip. We walked to where we wanted to go. There was a street festival going on Saturday evening and it was so much fun. The room was very nice. We liked the high ceilings and the bathroom. Also the plugs by the bed. The shower was amazing. The bathroom was bright and well lit. My partner thought the bed was too hard. Another thing is that our frig didn’t seem very cold. It was my fault for not calling down to mention it. We chose your hotel mainly because we heard it was a good breakfast. I didn’t mind it because I like oatmeal and waffles but my partner was disappointed in the meat (he wasn’t even sure what kind it was) and the eggs (with the peppers) We ended up going out for breakfast the second morning. Did we pay for parking? I thought there was free parking but when we got there it was $15. Was that per night? I’ll have to look at the bill more closely. It was weird to be charged because anyone could just go in the lot to park. That’s about it. Overall a good stay and a great weekend.

This hotel is in a great location, walking distance to Main Street( restaurants, bars, shopping.). Nice breakfast options. Nice staff. The room we stayed in was comfortable, temperature stayed cool, clean. Maybe could use some updates, like the carpet in the rooms, but overall a great stay!

Room was adequate - only thing I didn’t like was the barn door on the bathroom door. I’ll never understand this design decision for hotel bathrooms. Pool was on the small side- even for a hotel, no hot tub. Area around the pool was also small, not a lot of room to avoid the splashing kids. Area was nice, lots of restaurants and bars, so location was great. Staff was friendly and attentive.
