Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mostly reported as clean across multiple reviews (rooms, breakfast area), but at least one report detailed poor bathroom cleaning (hair on floor, dirty shower and doors), so cleanliness is slightly below target.
Service
8.6
Staff are frequently described as friendly and helpful (front desk, welcome by staff, GM Les proactively resolved a room temperature issue), though there are a few service lapses (housekeeping not delivered when requested, an extra bed request not fulfilled). Overall service is good with some inconsistencies.
Location
7.9
Location described as generally convenient (good location, close to restaurants), but with caveats: one guest noted the location 'isn't the best' and there are parking-lot signs warning of theft, so location sentiment is mixed.
Room Quality
8.4
Rooms are commonly noted as spacious, comfortable, with new beds and generally clean; isolated issues include a non-working fridge and occasional temperature control problems that were handled by management.
Amenities
8.3
Breakfast, pet-friendly policy, and pool were positively mentioned and renovations are improving common areas. Overall amenities meet expectations for the brand.
Value for Money
8.3
Standard quality for this hotel tier.

8.5
Complimentary breakfast is repeatedly praised (described as good, great, fantastic) and is a consistent positive across reviews.
Overall Experience
8.6
Majority of guests report a pleasant stay and would stay again; positives include friendly staff, clean rooms, good breakfast and pet-friendly policy. Some negatives (construction, isolated cleanliness and service issues) moderate the overall score.

Friendly staff and clean facilities
Pros:

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

There are multiple signs in the parking lot warning of theft. Not sure if this is a high crime area where vehicle break ins are common.

Normal
Pros:

Buena ubicación y la persona que nos recibió en la recepción fue muy amable

Cons:

La limpieza en la habitación, específicamente en el baño dejaba mucho que desear, había cabellos por el piso y el baño, la puerta de la zona ducha, y la puerta de ingreso al baño estaban sucias, desayuno escaso respecto a otros Hampton.

Near Perfect Stay in the Desert
Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites. While it’s an older hotel, it’s currently being remodeled, and you can already see the improvements being made. The updated areas look great, and it’s clear the hotel is investing in creating a better experience for guests.

The staff was friendly and welcoming, our room was clean and comfortable, and everything we needed was available during our stay. The complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and relaxing.

We appreciate the effort being put into renovating the property and would definitely stay here again. If you’re looking for a comfortable place with great service and ongoing updates, this Hampton Inn & Suites is a solid choice.
