Very Good

The property was kept really clean and was maintained well! I was so happy to feel cleanliness in the bathroom as if I were home. The facility was clean from the moment you stepped in, in the dining areas, elevator, and all the way up to the rooms. There was even hand sanitizer @ the elevator. The staff was really nice upon our checking in and any time we encountered them in between our 3 night stay.

I did not think this property lived up to the Hampton Inn name. Everything was clean, but the breakfast was sparse and the coffee was out for quite a while. Our room was extremely loud and, while we appreciated that the people next to us were enjoying themselves, we did not need to know the specifics of how they liked to pleasure one another.
Everything was great, We would have given 5 stars except the pool heater was broken and the water was super cool. However we were able to use another Hotel's pool that was heated, but it was about a 8 min drive away.
Very convenient location to food and highway entrances!

The staff is great so friendly helpful and engaging. The building is fine and clean. Even the safety in the parking lot has security. Just the location made it so there were multiple police activity issues with sirens all night long challenging sleep.
Perfect place for a business trip. Room was clean, quiet, breakfast was good, staff were friendly. The stay here made my business trip better as it was located near everything. only draw back was the pool and spa are not very impressive
