I recently stayed at this Hampton Inn and would say the experience was just okay. The staff was friendly, and the basics were covered, but some areas felt a bit worn and out of sorts. That said, I understand they’re currently undergoing renovations, so it makes sense that things aren’t quite up to the usual Hampton standards just yet. Looking forward to seeing the updates next time around!

Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly, the hotel was clean and the rooms were very large. The location was great. It was off the main street so it was a very quiet area.

Friendly Staff

This was one of the best hotel experiences we've had in a while. The facility is great, and they were renovating areas to make it even better. What won me over was the service at the desk. Will was the worker who helped us check in. He was fantastic. Just the nicest guy. He helped and accommodated some requests we had. We were in walking distance to so much on the main road. My kids loved the free cookies and drinks throughout the day. Thank you for making our trip so good!

Everything was great till breakfast, are was being updated and a bus load of kids were sitting in small eating area waiting for bus, was not room to even get close to breakfast food, had to leave and go down the street to eat, we felt the management should have taken control and moved kids away from eating area. Otherwise everything was good
