Breakfast was great. We are vegan so having options for us was amazing. Most places do not include those with dietary needs, but this place did. We were very surprised, and it was really appreciated it.
Many teenagers/young adults were staying at the hotel, they were unsupervised and extremely noisy. We heard it was a soccer team. They were above us and it sounded like they were jumping off the bed and tackling each other on the floor. The pounding and thumping went on until 2 am the first night. The second night at 11pm I went down and talked to the front desk about it. They immediately went up and talked to the kids and most of it stopped. I appreciate the front desk helping out, but hated having to complain in the first place.

Location was great. For events at the Covelli Center, the drive was less than 1 mile. Plenty of restaurants in the area. COmfortable bed. Very clean room.
Same thing I tell all hotels. I did not like the breakfast choices. I am lactose intolerant, and there was no plant-based milk so I could have some cereal. Come on Hampton Inn, this is 2024, plant based milk is inexpensive and widely available, there's no excuse not to have some.

It's close to Riverside hospital. I would highly recommend staying here if you have family at Riverside. There is a special rate for families with patients at Riverside. In order to get the rate you have to book directly through the hotel. The staff is wonderful. Robert and Tyler were so helpful our entire stay. The breakfast was tasty and different every day. We were here for a week and will definitely be back. My mom has mobility issues. We booked a handicapped room and the room was perfect. Tyler and Robert were so good to us.
Nothing! Everything was great

Was centrally located to areas i was visiting Not a big fan of turkey sausage but no big deal just a personal preference
Asked front desk clerk to have conditioner refilled in shower dont know if it was done because it still didnt work, could have been a broken canister I did like having the canisters much better than those little bottles.

The location was excellent for me. The service of the staff was exceptional. The breakfast was adequate and acceptable.
The electronic key did not work, but the staff thought to give me a card key because they said they had problems with the electronic key. I would follow up to find out why that doesn't work at this hotel.

very nice greeting staff quick and helpful rooms and bed are awesome pool looked nice free coffee and drinks in lobby
they didn’t have a microwave in room and couldn’t accommodate earlier breakfast due to us having to leave at 430am to make our flight. there should be an option for at least a cold breakfast for people who have to check out early

The breakfast was a variety of things offered. Coffee and tea 24 hours. The gym and pool was nice and maintained. The staff was welcoming. Only thing is we wished there was a microwave in room, but they did have one downstairs.
Coffee machine being in the bathroom.

Julia. She was amazing at helping me get a room for a disabled family member so he wouldn't have to walk far. She checked on us frequently and I felt she was willing to go above and beyond for any needs that might come up.
Nothing. It was all great.
