I have stayed in many Hampton Inns and they have always been clean and above average. I am seriously unhappy that I was
Pros:

Nothing! It was awful…total disarray, it looked like a horror hotel, inside and out! Renovating interior and exterior and should have closed for renovations.

Cons:

The hotel was undergoing renovations and should be closed…the exterior was covered in scaffolding and the inside was torn apart. Carpets were covered in dry wall, scribbling room numbers on dry wall…I would have never booked a room knowing the hotel was under renovation.

Pros:

Inside was nice, the staff were very friendly but the hotel was under construction for renovation so the building when we arrived was upsetting. Expedia didn't tell us this prior to booking and if there were other hotels available we would have changed.

Be Prepared to be in the middle of a Renovation!
Pros:

Property is under renovation. Very little parking due to shipping containers taking up parking spaces. Front desk did not tell me where the elevators were. No signage due to reno. No lights at the end of the hall by the elevator due to reno. No room numbers in hallway approaching my room due to reno. My room was the first guest room with a number next to the reno. Construction dust all over the carpet due to the reno... Even the front desk was constructed out of ply wood due to the reno. And I'm sure the room rate wasn't discounted due to the reno. Room was fine.

major renovation underway and too expensive
Pros:

Beware! The hotel website states it is undergoing renovation. The hotel looks abandoned and demolished from the outside. Pulling in I was fearful as there were two cars in the lot. Everything is under construction and for what the cost was per night, I could have stayed at the brand new hotel next door. This rate should have been half the price. The room was okay and comfortable and renovated, even though the bathroom looked a little older than the bedroom. When the hotel is finished I am sure it will look nice but for now, choose a different option. Also, the hotel is about 15-20 mins from the airport.

We actually stayed at the sister hotel, Tru, because the Hampton inn is being renovated. It's in a convenient location with close access to many activities. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Pros:

Was unaware Hotel was under a remodel until we arrived. Exterior walls were removed and covered in plywood and plastic. Interior hallways had paper on parts of the floors. Exposed carpet was covered in drywall dust and mud. Hallways were very dirty. Room was on the third floor and both third and second floor ice makers were broken. If would have know about theses conditions up front I would have stayed somewhere else.
