Amazing friendly service. Sebastian was especially helpful and informative. All the staff went over and above what we have received from some other hotels. The breakfast each morning, which came with our reservation, was absolutely delicious and a great variety to choose from. The best part of breakfast was Anita - she was so helpful and friendly each morning - it made having breakfast there a wonderful experience! We highly recommend this hotel!

They don't clean the room unless we request it
They did not make bed or change towels. I called the front desk to complain and they said they don't clean the room unless we request to do so. None told us such a rule and they said it is the rule after the COVID started. However, the COVID is no longer big issue and it won't make sense at all. It sounds it is only for saving cost at the hotel side. We liked Hampton Inn, but this time it was very bad experience and very much disappointed.

Disappointed that AC did not work but a stand-alone dehumidifier was installed that vented to the outside and gap around taped tube left room rather cool overnight. Toilet seat not secured. Microwave did not work. Shampoo dispenser in the shower was empty.

No designated parking available if you have a trailer behind a pickup. The hotel staff was very accommodating in that they allowed me to take up as many spaces as I needed (probably 6) in the back of the hotel property for two nights. Thank you! That area had good security lighting. Outstanding breakfast and coffee.
