Average Hotel
Pros:

Room was not as clean as other Hampton Inn’s I’ve been too. There was hair in the bathroom, shower, couches and bed. End table surfaces felt sticky. Parking is not convenient at all. You either pay daily for city parking or pay valet parking. I was surprised to find that this hotel did not have designated parking spaces. The valet attendants were very nice, always got my car in a timely manner. Ron, the valet attendant was very nice. Also no amenities for dogs. No designated areas for pets. Front office staff did not provide any welcome kits for pets staying. I’ve stayed at other Hampton hotels and they always gave treats, door hanger and poop bags for your pet.

It was very noisy at night, not enough service for the price.
Pros:

Typical with breakfast included

Cons:

Room could have been cleaner. Do away with no room service before the 3rd day of your stay.
