Never again!
Pros:

Terrible hotel. Heater broke, tv didn’t work, 2 lights in the room broke. Not very clean, breakfast not great. All around shocked to see a Hampton Inn so bad. Need to shut down until some of the issues are fixed!

Cons:

Everything. All night no tv, changed room because heat didn’t work, bed to hard, felt like a cement slab

$75 pet fee - dog owners beware!
Cons:

The pet fee is $75. This is 2-3x what I paid anywhere else on a trip from Maine to Washington state.

Not happy at this hotel
Pros:

Front desk and manager was nice

Cons:

No ice was available: We were told that none of the ice machines were working
Place was ran down and was told that they are going to remodel so that is why things were not kept/fixed
Things were broken in the bathroom.
Very disappointed with this Hampton inn. All the many many other Hampton inns are very nice but this one was disappointing

Awful . We have to wear musk to sleep. The worst place to stay. The service of this location should be close.
Pros:

Location was okay. That’s all.

Cons:

The most unclean Hampton we ever experienced. Rooms has mold smell. Staff moved us to another room which most likely a dog stays with previous customer. Dog smells and dog far was all over on carpet and entrance.

Not staying here anymore
Pros:

Room was quiet and plenty of parking.

Cons:

Very dirty rugs in hallways especially in front of our room. There wasn't one working ice machine in the entire hotel. Breakfast was average. Fan in bathroom is broken it was way too loud with a grinding noise. Refrigerator was also making a high pitched noise. We used this hotel before when they were down to 1 ice machine and said the others were getting repaired. That never happened. Hampton used to be top of the line it is now very low quality. PS pool which we were thinking of going into was cloudy we weren't taking a chance on that. We won't be staying here anymore.

It was a much needed stay for relaxing after a park day.
Pros:

I liked that I was safe in the facility. I liked how I got a good night sleep after a long day at Cedar Point. I also liked the staff. They were very helpful in answering my questions.

Cons:

I wish they would dust more and clean up corners in the bathroom. Other than that, everything else was great.

Pros:

Breakfast was good.

Cons:

There was no hot tub, no ice maker and the mattress I slept on, I had to sleep in the middle of the bad because the side was broken down and it hurt my hip.
