Hampton Inn

Labor Day weekend stay at the Hampton inn Eagan MN. The location is ideal for the things we like to do – visiting family, shopping at the Mall of America or Park and Fly. The staff are really good at service — all the staff from housekeeping to food staff to hotel registration/​manager. The shuttle service is the best. They really go out of their way to accommodate pick up times and locations. Kids love the pool. Breakfast is typical for Hampton Inn. Even though the serving area is small, the food staff really keep it very clean and re-​supplied. Waters at check in – good idea!
Probably the most striking thing about this hotel is the overall excellent service of all the staff. Very impressive.

Stayed here recently and really enjoyed the room, the cleanliness, the breakfast, friendly employees, the shuttle service. You’d be hard pressed to find a hotel much closer to the airport. We were able to walk to the Mall of America.
Because it’s so close to the airport, you have planes taking off right next door, but the noise wasn’t too bad. The windows keep most of the noise out.
We sure enjoyed Hampton’s luxurious beds and pillows. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

Normally, I love Hampton, but this one was disappointing.
Not only could I not find the place (the address didn’t exist in my Gps and Googling it gave me the address to the former location, which is now AmericInn), they were NOT helpful when I called to ask for directions.
So after driving around for 30 minutes I accidentally happened upon it right when I was at the point of giving up.
With relief I finally made it to my room, until I went to wash my hands and found the toiletries were not refilled (aka, no soap, but no worries, I always carry extra just in case), and then happened to glance in the trash can were I found an empty coffee cup and a banana peel.
One of these issues alone, no big deal. But seriously, I didn’t even get to enjoy the banana and now I have to stare at it and hope there are no fruit flies in my mouth by morning.
UPDATE– good news! No flies this morning, but I did try to shower only to find that the towels and wash cloths had no been refilled, it’s not going to be my best smelling day folks.
You’re probably asking yourself — why didn’t this whiner just say something to the front desk? Great question. Basically I was there long enough to take a nap before having to leave for the airport, and then gentleman with the near– flawless weave at the front desk was less than happy to be at work.
Thanks for listening to my tale, hopefully you make a better choice than I did.

Standard Hampton Inn. Very limited parking and the noisiest hotel I’ve stayed at in a long time. Our neighbors were speaking in a normal tone and we could hear everything they said. It felt like we should join in the conversation.
We couldn’t stand it so we checked out early. The staff never asked how my stay was or why we were leaving early.

Not as nice as some other Hampton Inns I have stayed at — for instance the plumbing did not work well (slow shower drain and toilet that ran on and on) but they fixed it immediately when we called.
Little things need help in the upkeep department — like maid servcie/​towel changing.
Pool was enjoyed by our 9 year old but was so overly chlorinated that her eyes stung for hours afterward. She dipped into the hot tub, too.
Breakfast is included and offers many choices including the popular «make your own waffle» which said 9 year old also enjoyed.
Easy check-​in and check-​out. Could be a 4 star review with a bit of elbow grease. (Step it up, please, Maintenance team!)

The original 34^th street ramp is closed so make sure you follow the detours or you’ll be going around in circles forever. Clean, comfortable, modern and a friendly staff. Great location near the airport and Mall of America. A bit pricey for an Airport hotel but the shuttles were prompt. The only reason this gets 4 stars instead of 5 is the lack of high def television, the TV’s were HD but the service was not. HD these days should be standard.

My experience at Hampton Inns is usually super. I think this is one of the most comfortable hotels to choose from and they are usually located wherever I go. As someone who travels a lot I always enjoy when I get the chance to stay here. The breakfasts always give me the energy to start my day with a clear and focused head on my shoulders and the beds are literally the most comfortable. Add free wi-​fi and evebing events in the lobby and you have a great total package. I have probably stayed at 20 – 25 different Hampton Inns and loved them all. If you have the chance to try one out go for it — its worth a little extra for so many reasons. Although hampton Inns are not available on hotwire I would compare them to the 4 star hotels that hotwire offers without the typical extra fees you get hit with. There is nothing worse than getting a 4 star hotel and then they say wi-​fi and parking are extra. If travel lodge can have free wifi so can a 4 star hotel. At Hampton’s you get none of this extra fee stuff and free breakfast on top of that. They even serve my favorite yogurt for breakfast — yoplait — My review on hampton inn has been way overdue. Great experience all around.

I usually stay at a Hilton chain, so I was a little disappointed with this one.
The parking is fairly limted to get a good spot, especially sucks when it’s freezing and snowing out. I tried to use the garage, and my room key did not open the door. If you get a good spot, don’t leave it because someone will take it from you.
The shuttle will take you to the mall and a couple of restaurants, but since I had a car, I did not take it.
There is no way to call the front desk from your room!!! There’s no dialing 1 to reach them. you actually have to call the direct line including area code to talk to someone. Weird.
There were guys in the next room over screaming and banging on the walls at 3 AM the first night and 1 AM the second night. I was not pleased. (this was probably a one off case, but I couldn’t call the front desk to do anything about it!)
The room itself was ok. It had a TV, WiFi access/​ethernet port, Fridge, Microwave (the LED clock stares at you when the lights are off), coffee maker, etc… The view was pretty awful — a wide open field looking onto IKEA.
Location was fair. 5 min drive to mall of america, or take the free shuttle. 20 minutes to downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. 5 min drive to the airport
Walking into the lobby, it smells like a pool (located in the fitness center). The breakfast in the morning was typical– yogurt, bananas, cereal, milk, coffee, etc). Front desk staff was very nice

I like my Hamptons! This one is nice cause it is right across from the Mall of America and the Airport. I, however, have yet to step foot in the MOA. I usually stay at this location when I’m in the Minneapolis area for business meetings. I always seem to get one of the huge suite rooms and that just makes me happy. It’s a Hilton property so I get my Hilton Honors points… yes, I am a point chaser!

Standard Hampton Inn.
Close to the Mall of America and they have free shuttle service available.
Hotel was clean as expected, breakfast is standard Hampton and the Wifi worked well.
Easy access to the highways and 10 minutes from the airport

This Hampton Inn and Suites is my home away from home in Minneapolis. The 4 stars is for the staff who all know my name or at least recognize my face. They are the sweetest, most hard working group and very professional. The PRO’s — proximity to the Mall of America and all the restaurants there is nice. PRO– Proximity and shuttle service to the airport. PRO — the hotel is spotless. The cleaning crew works very hard to keep every table/​bathroom/​guest room smelling and looking great.
CON — the work out facility stinks and you have to go to the fairview inn behind the hotel.
CON — Hampton Inn’s has to up their game with their breakfasts. This applies to all Hampton Inns. Those fake eggs skeeve me out.
Overall — great place to stay when you are trying to keep costs low when traveling to the Twin Cities.

I was stranded in MN last night and had to get a hotel for the night. I chose my trusty Hampton of course! The staff was friendly and the free wifi and breakfast nice. I didn’t get to do anything in town, but this location is right near the Mall of America (I saw it from my room) so if you’re in town for shopping this is the place for you to stay!

Nice hotel. Very close to both the Mall of America and the MSP airport.

This hotel apparently sells out everyday during the summer with families who are coming to the mall of america, one block away (so make reservations early if you’re deadset on staying here). They do have a shuttle that leaves for the mall every hour or you could just walk since it’s like a block away. Rooms were pretty standard for a Hampton, nice and clean. Breakfast was okay, although insanely crowded with families.
Airplanes fly directly over the hotel during the daylight hours, but they have triple paned the windows to try to minimize noise (you’re still going to hear them but they won’t blow out your eardrums). I didn’t hear any planes after dark or until 8 AM the next morning.
They have a nice workout room with two new treadmills, one elliptical and one bike. I don’t remember seeing any weights but there was a scale, towels, and water dispenser. The pool was good size but was OVERFLOWING with kids. Unfortunately those kids would get bored and wander over to the exercise room and get on the machines with their wet clothes and flip flops (even though the rules specifically say no one under 18 is allowed in the exercise room). Then their parents would come join them, also in their swimsuits, with towels flung everywhere and proceed to walk at about 1.2 miles per hour on the treadmill. seriously? Overall it wasn’t bad, just make sure you can tolerate the insane amount of kids everywhere. The hotel gets really quiet after breakfast when they all head to the mall though.
