Pros:

Clean and comfortable. Breakfast was mediocre.

The pet fee was very high... the most I have ever paid anywhere. I will not return again for that reason.

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.

Okay stay.
Pros:

It was okay. I am not sure why but I just expect better of a Hampton Inn. The breakfast was good. I appreciate having coffee available all day!

Cons:

There was never anyone available at the desk. I had to wait for someone to check me in. Upon leaving, there was no one around.

There was a lady with 2 young girls hanging out by the elevator. I am not sure what they were doing. A bit later, the front deck lady was cleaning up a mess at the spot where they were hanging out. It was all so sketchy. It seemed the front desk employee was all alone taking care of everything and everyone.

The coffee maker in the room didn't work. We couldn't get the TV to work either.
