Categories

Cleanliness
4.5
Mixed but leaning negative: several reports of dirty bathroom floor, old blood on wall and cleanliness complaints despite some guests calling rooms 'clean and comfortable.'
Service
7.8
Generally praised staff (friendly, accommodating, named staff praised) though there are instances of being short-staffed and a few rude or overwhelmed employees.
Location
7.2
Convenient highway location, easy parking and a nice area off I-76; limited walkable options nearby.
Room Quality
6.2
Rooms often described as comfortable and spacious with good bedding, but issues reported (loud AC, TV/coffee maker problems, missing top sheet, bathtub drain).
Amenities
6
Pool and gym are positives and breakfast is available, but pool closure for maintenance, inconsistent breakfast quality and high pet fees reduce the score.
Value for Money
5.4
Mixed perceptions: some call price reasonable, others cite high pet fees and feeling the stay was overpriced.
Food and Beverage
6
Breakfast reviews vary widely from 'very good' to 'poor' (cold eggs, dry sausage); some guests loved it while others found it mediocre.
Overall Experience
7.3
Many guests view it as a go-to or comfortable stop with very friendly staff, but repeated cleanliness and amenity issues (pool closure, pet fees, maintenance) temper the overall impression.

Disappointing
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

I booked this room for 4th of July weekend so our kids can enjoy the amenities such as the pool, which was closed for maintenance, very upsetting for my kids. We kept having issues with the tv , live tv was not working , so sitting in a room no pool was rough on 2 kids . They were short staffed , lady was rude , no breakfast by time my family went down at 7:30, lady complained she was the only one working,

Great for an on the road trip or visiting the university
Pros:

Right next to highway, pretty typical Hampton Inn. Clean and good bedding, and quiet except for cooling unit (not too bad on noise level compared to some others i have experienced). Nothing you can walk to. My morning walk was into a condo village. Restaurants: Laziza: Expensive, but a nice meal. I had a shrimp in a sauce with rice that was very good. It is a short 5 minute drive from hotel.
