Loved Kesha
When we arrived, Keisha greeted us at the front desk and we enjoyed her friendly and outgoing personality, she could not have been nicer. The room is very clean and quiet. Although the hotel was pretty full, even the hallways were quiet, which was very nice no slamming of doors all night long. Breakfast in the morning was great, cooked fresh but even better was the coffee.

Beds need updated.
The beds that were in our suite were not comfortable. The pool was also really cold and smelled of really strong chlorine.

We don't travel as much as we used to, but we always try to stay at a Hampton. The breakfast options they provide was adequate and what we've come to expect. The location was convenient.
The price was a bit too high. I'm glad we were there for only 1 night.
