Great stay. Andrew was the best
We had an amazing stay at the Hampton Inn. From the moment we walked in, Andrew greeted us with such warmth. He was hospitable, and made the check-in process very smooth. He was friendly and funny, and the whole duration of the stay he was very helpful and offered to help us with anything we needed. He made us feel right at home! This man is an asset. Give him a raise! He definitely deserves it.

Everything was clean very comfortable and the staff was decent. The only problem I had was when I’d come home at night. The TV didn’t always work. Had Wi-Fi issues. Breakfast is what you’d expect from premade food. Taste was good.
