I would not choose to stay at this property again.
Pros:

Deborah who takes care of the breakfast area is fabulous! Keep her happy and don't let her get away! Breakfast was pretty good both days. Patrick was helpful and very pleasant, As senior citizens with mobility issues, we were grateful to be on the first floor.

Cons:

The morning crew (didn't get their names) seemed indifferent and as if they were annoyed to answer questions. The toiletries in the bathroom were hard to deal with - dispensers at vanity are far from the sink, a new bottle was in the shower but hadn't had the squirter popped up so my spouse thought it was empty. The toilet paper is ridiculous - even when bunched up to get some substance, it shreds when used. The washcloth had a big hole in it. My brother was in another room and said there was no wake up call service. Overall, I don't think it was worth the price. Do better, Hampton Inn!

I would not stay there again.
Pros:

The staff was very friendly

Cons:

The room smelled like mold and the carpet was very soiled. And the breakfast was terrible. I didn’t have high hopes for a hotel breakfast and yet it managed to disappoint.

overall stay was pleasant, staff was very friendly and accommodating. Hotel was clean, a bit dated.
Pros:

beds wear very comfortable, sheets were clean and so were the bath towels

Cons:

Bathroom was not cleaned properly. My wife found someones hair in the bath tub. Also the carpet was not vacuumed. There's construction going on near the hotel, so prepare for your car to be covered in dust, lots of it. Continental breakfast could have a wider selection besides, eggs, very thin bacon and home fries. There was no juice was available, the machine was out of service.
