Exceptionally clean and quiet. Room was in excellent condition and no equipment issues. Heating and cooling were excellent. Only fault was lack of hot water to the room over a 3 day period. Could only get like warm after 10-15 minutes.

Stayed here because of proximity to a concert I was performing in for Christmas. Mo was the receptionist I worked with when I arrived. Friendly and welcoming. Room was impressive and would recommend if you are not needing to go north of town.

Was great. Always try and find Hampton Inns wherever we go. This location charged $75 for a pet where others charge $25, though. Also the front desk was a little abrupt when we arrived around 1am
