Trash and debris on the floor in the hallway, open areas with equipment and debris, holes in the wall with wires exposed at all times, tape over the smoke detectors and other areas in our room, no one was actively working on these areas.

Had to request room service multiple times. We had an extended stay and it was very busy. It was pretty loud in the evenings as cars were racing on the street outside our window. Should have requested a different room. It was centrally located and the staff was very warm and professional.

Staff was not very accommodating and rushed me thru my check in. The pool is under construction!!!!! I had no idea and the entrance has been rerouted through a long narrow corridor that barely 2 people could fit! The line for free breakfast was insane and there is nowhere to sit. Will not be back!

This hotel is being renovated. The front lobby was closed so we had to use a side entrance that had a table set up in a narrow hallway as a make shift front desk. The hotel is very dirty. Not sure if it’s due to the construction but the hallways and everything need a deep clean. When we walked into our room the floor was sticky and my shoes were sticking as I walked. I could also see spills and crumbs. I asked that the laminate part of the floor be cleaned again and someone came and quickly went over it. It was still very dirty so I went over it with 4-5 Clorox wipes. They turned black from the amount of dirt that was on the floor. The positives and reason for 2 stars is the staff was very nice and the breakfast was good. Also a good location and easy drive to the university and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance.

The Hampton Inn staff has always gone above and beyond for the guests. This was even more evident on my most recent stay. There is massive construction in the lobby and the "front desk" staff was helpful, generous and kind even in their not ideal work environment
