| - This is a standard Hampton Inn. I stayed 2 nights recently as part of a room block for a wedding.
As all Hamptons, a breakfast is included and is nice for this type of weekend. It's your standard hotel fare with a hot egg/protein option, pastries, the waffle maker, oatmeal, etc. The staff were really attentive and quick at refilling things which was nice.
The pool and fitness room were fine. Though the fitness room was a bit small for the three people in there at the same time, it worked though.
The parking lot is a bit tight. They have spaces for diamond members, all of which were empty, so that's frustrating when you get back in the evening and can't find a place to park.
Two notable oddities:
1) Our wing of the floor were all wedding guests, and with a 2:00 wedding, we were all planning to leave around 1. I walked in the hallway and the housekeeping staff was standing there and this woman, looking at a list, said, (either to me or herself): "I'm so confused. All these doors have Do Not Disturb." Trying to explain, I told her we were all getting ready for a wedding and would be leaving around 1. She looked at me and said, "You're not leaving until 1?!! We're all going to have to stay late to clean your rooms!" It was an odd comment/conversation and led to other guests (whom I had met in the hallway) responding to say they didn't need their room cleaned. I was just put off by the comment entirely. If the room has to be empty by a certain time to be cleaned, let it be known up front. Don't complain to me, a paying customer, with a schedule because my plans don't align with yours. It was just so odd, that she acted like this had never happened before.
2) The floors are lumpy. Yup, you read that. The beds, pillows, all fine. The floors are almost a tripping hazard. It's weird and I don't get it.
Also, because we were a room block, we had to sign a 'no party pledge' which included things like: no drinking in the lobby or public spaces, no congregating in hallways, and no more than 5 people in a room. That was odd and a bit of a wet blanket to be greeted with upon check in.
All in all, fine place if you're looking for a convienent, standard place to stay.
