United States, February 2024

8.6/10

Arriving at the hotel a bit late, we had to wait until almost 4 PM for our room, which was a little frustrating as we had plans to head to the football stadium shortly after 3 PM. The parking lot was smaller than expected, and better restrictions would be helpful.

7.0/10

My stay at the Hampton Inn was a mix of positives and negatives. The hotel's location was perfect, surrounded by great restaurants within walking distance and close to the university. However, the rooms were unexpectedly noisy due to the busy road nearby, affecting our sleep quality. The service was top-notch, with the staff being incredibly helpful and friendly. The dining experience, though convenient, had its downsides with dry biscuits. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in, located on the second floor facing a busy road, was disappointingly loud, making it hard to sleep due to constant road noise and a whistling sound from the AC. The noise level was unexpected for a Hampton Inn.

Service

The staff at Hampton Inn exceeded my expectations with their helpful and friendly demeanor. They even gave great recommendations for local dining spots, which added a personal touch to the service.

Location

Dining

While the dining options at the hotel were satisfactory and a time-saver, the quality fell short in some aspects. The biscuits were notably dry, affecting the overall dining experience.
