Hampton by Hilton Hotels in Hurst

It’s almost surprising to me that I have never used this property. I have used the other newer Hilton brand just down the street and was wholly unimpressed with the architecture and the offering. This property is fantastic for what Hampton intends to be, but they are missing one very important feature - in room safes. The brand has set the standard for this and I would not have become so interested in it were it not for innkeeper’s absolute refusal to deal with dishonest maid staff. A safe behind the counter is not good enough because it requires me to drag my electronics down there every time I leave the room. A hotel is not jail and freedom of movement is mandatory, and carrying around a bunch of electronics has shown up as required for living much of anywhere. To have a safe place to store that thing while staying on the road has become extremely important and I’m hoping all brands will recognize this and offer the guess a place of safety within their own room. It’s become so important that I intend to start calling ahead to find out if these are offered when deciding where I’m going to stay. Outside of that this place was all Hilton, from the lobby to the guest room to the staff on duty. I live here and I was only here because of the electric power uncertainty when it’s blistering cold. I didn’t use many of the facilities and don’t care about the swimming pool. I’ve learned a long time ago it’s worth the added cost to choose a dependable brand. The lack of standards in the lesser brands has driven me away from them. The franchise police have been eliminated from the lesser brands and they are lately getting away with providing nothing to the customer. I am lucky I played my cards right and have earned enough I am not forced to put up with that. Hampton has kicked HI off their throne for my needs thus when I’m going some place needing a place to stay I’ll look for a Hilton brand that meets the needs before any other.. I’d recommend this place to anyone as you’re getting what you pay for. There’s no reason for me to come back because I live here, but that’s not always true either.
