We booked this hotel based on reviews and with an expectation of it meeting the standards of Hampton Inns we have stayed in elsewhere. I am a salesman who travels for business and Hampton Inns have been my go to. Some are better than others, but this place fell way short. After a long day of travel we were greeted by a nice young woman at the front desk. We obtained our key and went up to our assigned room. When we opened the door we were greeted by the stink of human sweat, similar to a High School boys locker room. It was dank and disgusting. We turned around and walked out - straight back to the front desk. We waited in line for a half hour behind a bunch of old biddies trying to get their room situations sorted out. It seems the hotel was sold out and mostly filled with confused old ladies there for a convention. When we got to the front desk, the same woman told us we were lucky and there was only one room left in the entire hotel. Shame on the hotel management for having this kind of sold out occupancy and leaving one person there to handle the mess. We got that key and walked back to the room. We opened the door and it stunk just as bad. They truly have a problem. And by the way, the rooms are poorly furnished, they look tired and far below the worst Hampton Rooms we have ever stayed at. Have a look at the way the bed and pillows looked in the picture below. After a long days travel you want to crawl in to a nice comfy freshly made bed, not one that looks like someone else just crawled out of it. UNACCEPTABLE! My wife's comment "it might not be dirty but it feels like it is". This room was just shy of $200 a night, because it had a fridge and a small sofa. I quickly went online and found a full suite at the nearby Comfort Inn for $155 and after a brief but non contentious dialog with the front desk person, checked out and left. At first she said I would have to speak with her manager on Monday and he might refund my money. I told her if that was the case my first call would be to Hilton Corporate to discuss the pathetically low standards at this property. Then we magically got an instant refund. So ultimately, the brand for me was tarnished by this experience and I now have had a lovely experience at a competitor's property and of course I will consider them in my selections of chain hotels going forward. Less money, for a nice suite, freshly decorated and clean . And by the way, the free breakfast there was great.
