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.

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.

Although the staff was lovely and the entrance when you walk in the lobby was decorated for Halloween & inviting, where the hotel is located is its biggest drawback. It’s located directly next to Home Depot AND the highway and there is a lot of noise from both. There were deliveries at Home Depot throughout the night with delivery trucks beeping each time. Although it’s convenient to be near the hwy, the truck noise was too much. Our hotel room was fine. A basic room, beds were comfy. The walls are quite thin & you can hear conversations and snoring next door. lol. Always great to have a fridge in the room. Overall, I’d give it 3/5 stars.
