This was one of the best experiences that I have ever had with a hotel. From checkin to checkout everyone was extremely nice and helpful. I loved the fact that the front desk sent me a text to confirm that if I needed something to text them back. They also followed up several times to ask if we needed anythiing. The rooms were clean, didn't smell and had everything needed. Can't say enough about Hampton and this location. Thanks Briaenna!!!!
