Hampton Inn Battle Creek

Breakfast was good but a pretty crowded space.

Close to the highway on/off ramps. Clean. The young lady that checked us in was really lovely.

Nothing

The breakfast was fair.

I have experience with MANY Hamptons.
This is a hotel of two very different tales. Mostly, the other reviews below are true.
First, as of early August '26, it is obvious this hotel was recently renovated and that is great. This renovation clearly included the lobby, the hallways... and then this is where it gets odd... "part" of the room itself? New carpet, partial new furniture perhaps, etc. The parts renovated are nice.
Second, what is odd and creates two tales is that the bathrooms were definitely not renovated and are very dated and concerning. Chipped walls, bathtub with stains, certainly below the standard of most (not all) Hamptons.
In addition, as noted by others, there are things that are concerning. For instance, our toilet made a very odd, loud screeching sound on each flush. It worked fine, but the noise is something i have never heard from a toilet. There was no soap for showering (which always draws a question of then what else was missed in the cleaning process). The room door would not close on its own without force. The bathroom door was out of alignment and it takes force to get it to close. There is no wall control for the AC/Heating. The pool was nearly empty. There was no parking when we arrived.
And.... so on....
It is just an odd hotel with some renovations (good) and then very concerning / odd issues throughout. Perhaps they are not done yet? They need to be not done yet, there is more to address.
That said, I believe her name was Shauna at the front desk, tried really hard (joyfully) to address a couple of the issues. That was appreciated.
Lower end Hampton for sure.... not the worst... but not necessarily average either.

It was in a perfect location.

Clean and friendly

The breakfast was amazing! So many options, everything was fresh and delicious, absolutely exceeded my expectations for a free breakfast! The staff was very pleasant and attentive and worked very hard to ensure guests were well taken care of.

Breakfast area was clean and good. Room was clean and comfortable . Dog run was supported with bags and it was clean.

It was quiet, room was nice, breakfast was good

It’s clear this hotel was recently repainted and recarpeted. It looks good inside and out

However, the sheets don’t fit properly and are oddly a cream color not white. Typical furniture for a Hampton.. bath tub is chipped.

More concerning, we noticed a drawer open on the tv cabinet when we walked into our room….i closed it and it reopened. We realized the entire floor on that side of the room is seriously sloping. Like 10 degrees. I reported it to the front desk who said “someone woukd have noticed when they re-carpeted”. Sorry, that’s not the right answer. Carpet guys might notice but it’s not their job to fix structural failures….this is going to be on the news if it collapses. I really would have preferred an answer like “yes, we are aware of the dip, it’s been thoroughly inspected and we have underpinned the foundation”. The drawer remaining open could really hurt someone too, by hitting it as they walk by.

I’m a little afraid to stay here as it could be they simply carpeted and patched a serious structural problem with the floor, and staff doesn’t seem to care.

We are booked for two nights. I don’t want to lose money but this is a bit concerning

This is the worst hotel I’ve ever been at in my life.
The shower doesn’t drain, the tv doesn’t work, there’s a low battery fire alarm chirping all night, the carpet by the ice machine was soaking wet, the breakfast was powder eggs and powder gravy, it was legitimately the worst hotel I’ve ever seen in my life. Do NOT spend a dime to come here

Bed was great

I did not like anything about this location. I requested a king bed and the rude girl at the front told me I had to have a double. I asked for extra pillows these were the fattest pillows ever. There was a spring in the mattress that kept poking up so I had to sleep on the edge for 2 days.

Don’t be scared by the old reviews. This hotel has nearly completed their remodel. We stayed in a king study room and it was actually pretty nice for this class of hotel. The rooms feel modern with occasional dated bits, but overall it now lands on the higher end of what I expect out of a Hampton Inn. The hot breakfast was a little monotonous, but still good. The staff were friendly. Location is convenient to the highway, but watch out if heading east on 94 because the ramp is hidden behind trees and sneaks up on you. There is a little road noise, but it wasn’t enough to bother us. There are decent food options nearby and I recommend trying Torti Taco just up the block.
