Front desk staff person at check-in was very friendly and welcoming. The rest of the stay was typical Hampton Inn: very nice and quite affordable. Our hand-down first choice.

The room was not as clean as it should have been. The lobby was beautiful. My room was on the 4th floor. As soon as i stepped off of the elevator, there was a sour, musty smell. The room didn’t smell that way but it seemed at times, there would be a whiff of it. There was hair on my pillow and the bathroom floor was dirty. Hair was there too. It was a different texture than mine, so I know i didn't bring it in. I only stayed one night and got there late. I wouldn't stay again. The front desk workers were ok. Not rude, but didn’t seem to really care if I was there or not. Ok experience.
