Great comfort and clean rooms.
Pros:

Staff very friendly. Room was clean, nice pillows.

Cons:

Mattress a little firm for my liking. Breakfast buffet wasn't anything special, but decent. I prefer sausage links, had patties and no scrambled eggs. Just my preference.

Decent place to stop for a night.
Pros:

Right off the interstate with a resturant attached. Breakfast was good.

Cons:

Room seemed smaller than other Hamptons. It was set up weird with the bathroom facing the beds.
The laundry on the floor plans online was not there. Instead you were expected to walk across to another attached hotel and use that laundry room. Room did not seem to get cool enough.

Pros:

Loved the property and location. Good breakfast. Great staff. Only problem was the bathroom door was a barn style that kept coming off the track- it was so heavy I was afraid it was going to fall on my kids- so when it fell all the way off the track we just left it off and didn’t have a door on the bathroom.

Below Hampton standards
Pros:

The breakfast was pretty good and restocked all the time. The ladies in the breakfast area were very good.

Cons:

The room had peeled pressed board on the credenza. It had the shortest toilet which was hard to use. The toilet had black permanent scratch marks on the bottom. The king room and the bathroom were just a little bigger than a cruise ship room. It was below Hampton standards.
