Hampton Inn

I’ve stayed at this Hampton Inn twice now, both times when in town to see Georgia Tech play Clemson in baseball. It’s on the edge of the town, but the town is so small that it’s still quite close to everything ($ 6 cab ride for those of you headed to the downtown bars).
The staff is hospitable, though not always terribly helpful. There was only one person checking in at 6:30 on a Friday, which seems like prime check-​in time to me. Additionally, when we called to get a taxi for Saturday night, they provided 2 numbers (rather than calling one for us) and both of those numbers were no longer valid.
The breakfast was your standard Hampton Inn fare, though I always seemed to be bumping into people based on the way it was arranged. The rooms are nicely appointed, with dark wood paneling along the other wall to contain the closet and desk set-​up, and flat-​screen TV’s. They’re in the process of renovating their guest bathrooms. The air was set at 68 and consequently was always running the entire weekend. The good about that is you’re not startled awake in the middle of the night when it cuts on or off, but then again, it’s always making noise. Free wi-​fi with your stay, though not the strongest signal (particularly dependent on your location in the building).
It’s got an outdoor pool, fitness center (with one each of bike, elliptical, and treadmill), and business center (two computers and two printers sitting by the breakfast buffet).

Cozy and comfortable, but somewhat understaffed. I literally waited 15 minutes to check-​in, which made me pretty grumpy, since I’d been driving for 4 hours and hadn’t stopped to eat. I wanted food, dammit!
Their hot breakfast was pretty underwhelming. I’m not a meat-​eater, so I didn’t exactly appreciate that the only eggs they had were all mushed in with ten pounds of ham, but the rest of the offerings were about par for the course.
The wireless was on the slow side, but at least there was wireless.
