Hilton to the rescue!
We were able to get a last minute booking after leaving an uninhabitable hotel. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful, spacious, and so clean!! They had a good breakfast bar selection. It was an overall great experience!

Great stay
Accommodations were great but I highly recommend requesting a room away from the elevator. Our room was right behind the shaft and I heard it all night and day long, the whooshing sound.

Brief Business Stay
My stay at Hampton Inn & Suites was a very pleasant one...I was assigned the type of room I had requested...there was one issue initially with the new television in my room but Pam, the guest receptionist at the main desk, resolved the issue quickly and professionally...and I did not lose any time because of this...so if you decide to stay at Hampton Inn, you will not be disappointed!
