Pros:

It was close to Bartle Hall and breakfast was included. The room was very clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were very nice.

Cons:

There was constant traffic that night, which we heard throughout the night. The room next to us also had people coming in and out all night. So, nothing dealing with the hotel but frustrating, nonetheless.

It did not live up to the standard we have grown accustomed to when staying on Hampton properties.
Pros:

Even with two queen beds and four adults, the room felt spacious. We were not bothered by noise and found that it was easy to adjust the room temperature to our preferences. The shower had good water pressure, although it would have been nicer if the water temperature had been a little hotter.

Cons:

The breakfast offering was disappointing all three days we were there (one weekday and two weekend days). The posted breakfast hours were 6AM to 10AM each day - yet by 9:30 each day there was almost no food left. The first day even cold cereal was not an option because the only milk available was chocolate. The oatmeal pot was scraped clean, and the bread and pastry options consisted of only two chocolate muffins, a single English muffin, and a slice of white bread. There were three pieces of sausage and a few eggs. In the 30 minutes we were in the dining area, not a single employee was present to restock, inquire about getting milk (or anything else), nor empty the overflowing trash receptacle. I received a text that afternoon from the hotel asking how my experience was going so far, and I was honest about the breakfast experience and also shared that when we got to our hotel room the previous afternoon, we discovered a soiled washcloth lying on the floor next to the toilet. I received a response thanking me for my text and offering apologies and a promise to share my concerns "immediately with management." According to the text, my loyalty is valued, and they wanted to know the best time to "connect so we can discuss a proper service recovery." I explained I would be available in 45 minutes when I returned to the hotel. No one ever made an attempt to reach me after that. The remainder of the stay went ok, although the breakfast experience did not improve and we ultimately dined elsewhere, which diminishes the overall value of our stay since we basically paid for breakfast multiple times.

NEVER STAYING HERE AGAIN
Pros:

I would suggest not staying here period. Their parking lot is very unsafe as there has been multiple reviews of cars being broken into. My friend and I were attending PAKC (Planet Anime). We first checked in, our door was cracked open for 102. The door doesn't shut if you do not force it shut. I really do not like the barn sliding door for the bathroom, there is no way to lock it. The overall room was clean which I appreciated that. Saturday night, my friend and I spent over 10 hours in cosplay, standing in lines for hours at con. The one thing I personally wanted, was a hot shower. The water never warmed up and I let it run for 15-20 mins. I had to have a bird bath in cold drinking water temperature. The management is crap for this location. They texted me wanting to setup a time to talk. I told them 7 pm as I would be free. They ghosted me. They didnt want to make it right at all or just listen to me.

Business Trip in the Financial District
Pros:

This hotel was really nice and clean. Room was spacious with a view. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Parking was across the street and seemed safe. The location is a short walk to Power & Light and there are good restaurants and bars in the area. That being said, I probably wouldn't walk around here at night alone. Even on a Friday, this area of downtown seemed a little secluded. Front desk staff were great! Breakfast was hot and delicious. I'd stay here again for sure.

Comfortable last-minute stay, some rooms with inside facing windows
Pros:

The lobby was beautiful, we enjoyed the decorations present for falls as well. Our room was spacious and had an outside facing window, which is important to mention as 2 rooms on each floor have windows that face the inside of the building. I would have appreciated a little more attention to detail; for instance, in our bathroom the towel hangers had obviously fallen off/been removed from the wall and never fixed. We stayed here last minute due to a family emergency and asked for some sundries from the front desk they were out of the items we requested (comb and razor) but, as gold members, were generous with our welcome snacks. Breakfast was well stocked and the beads were comfortable. Overall a nice place to stay, just we aware of the rooms with inside facing windows.

Pros:

I was in town for a long weekend to see a concert. The hotel was well placed near great spots, spent a good amount of time in power and light, and is a block over from the streetcar. Hotel itself was very nice, staff was helpful, and the room was great.
