Great Hotel
Great hotel. Super fast and friendly check in with Julie. Room was HUGE and beds were comfy. Anything we needed or asked for was taken care of right away. Great location close to everything. Only downfall was parking not attached to hotel and no valet.

The condition of the facility is not up to the standard I have found in other Hampton inns around the country. Our room was not very clean. No mention of the lack of parking was made till after I was charged. I know that it is in a city environment but….

The only positive thing about this hotel is its good location. Unfortunately, the room had a strong musty smell that triggered my allergies, and the air conditioner was so loud it sounded like a motorcycle. Honestly, I don’t understand why this place is rated as excellent it feels more like a low-quality hotel.

The location of the property is great. Close to a ton of restaurants and night spots. The staff is amazing. Kudos to the wonderful woman taking care of the breakfast. Daily she went out of her way to take care of us and make sure there was enough left for the 18 of us.

Decent hotel for the price
I never could get my digital key even though the desk attendant said she could make it work. No welcome gift, which we usually get. Luckily we were there on a weekend because parking is pricey. The mattress was horrible and needs to be replaced immediately. The breakfast was excellent and the employee very nice and helpful. It was also very quiet which is a plus,
