Best stay … best staff … best breakfast!
Pros:

Everything about our stay was exceptional … from the warm welcome at check-in to the beautiful room to the incredible breakfast. Truly, the breakfast was better than any hotel breakfast I can recall in recent memory. It was not just the variety and quality of the food (crispy bacon, eggs, potatoes, waffles, oatmeal and more). It was the hospitality! The gentleman overseeing the dining room greeted every guest personally and then checked to ensure that they had everything they needed. On my return trip to the buffet I thanked him and complimented him and his staff for the amazing breakfast and their warm welcome. Another guest overheard and jumped right in to say she agreed wholeheartedly — that this was the best hotel breakfast she could remember! Five stars!

Decent stay away from home! Would stay again!
Pros:

What I really liked about this property was the lady at the front desk was very nice and had a smile on her face. Also honored me as a Hampton member. So immediately I felt welcomed. The room was actually a decent size and had was just absolutely perfect! I loved the accent wall. The breakfast was your average hotel breakfast. They surged bacon, eggs, potato’s, waffles, yogurt, fruit, and all your bread stuff. Didn’t use pool.

Cons:

What I didn’t like was our room was very hot and stuffy. Even turning it down, the most it could do was 68 degrees. So we had to buy a fan from Walmart to be actually able to sleep. 😅 But the beds they were a bit stiff but once I found a comfort spot I was out.

Nice hotel though will not return due to pet friendly policy
Pros:

Beds were comfortable. Breakfast selection was good

Cons:

Pet friendly. Did not realize this when we booked. After developing allergy symptoms then seeing animals in the hallway the next morning, went to the booking site and searched “policies” and found that pets were allowed. Had this been stated in the details when I booked, would have stayed somewhere else. Lesson learned. I will now check all policies before booking.

Pros:

The staff, especially Tyler did EVERYTHING to try to make this as palatable as possible. They were as accommodating sa humanly possible.

Cons:

I would really like a voucher for our stay. There was no internet, no lights, no hot water, no A/C, no electric at all. The hotel was not a hotel, at all. The staff was lovely. The accommodations, were not.

Okay
Pros:

Location was great. Front desk staff was also great. Lobby was very nice.

Cons:

Breakfast was not very good during the week but a little better on the weekend. Price was crazy expensive. Bed wasn’t very comfortable and there was a bottle of water left on the floor by the bed from a previous guest. The alarm went off at 2 am but we never touched it. It was very loud all night long.

Decent stay for the price point and front desk went above and beyond for me. Really appreciate it.
Pros:

Front desk was great, I needed an early check in due to having medication on me that couldn't be in the heat where we would be out that day and they were able to accommodate me and I really appreciate that.

Cons:

Some of breakfast was a little overcooked, but overall it was on par with other hotels at this price point. We did have housekeeping or some other staff come in the room and wake us up at 7am, but not a big deal.
