Hampton Inn

Came here just needing sometime to rest because we were driving to Colorado we were treated ok the breakfast was ok but the beds were ok it very quiet and a good place for a nap but the eggs we crunchy and cold the only reason for the Second star is the mini cinnamon rolls!

Property — Very nice hotel. Looks new on the outside, standard Hampton Inn lobby area. Well maintained. Location is great, just one block north and one block east of I-​70. There is an IHOP in the same parking lot. Many restaurants and retail stores are very close by. Felt safe there. Parking is free. Free Wi-​Fi is available and the speed is acceptable for e-​mail and basic web access.
Check-​In/​Out Experience — Check-​in time is 3 PM. We arrived at 6 PM. We checked in using the Hilton HHonors app and selected our room in advance. Our selected room was ready when we arrived. Because we checked in online all we had to do was get our room key from the front desk clerk. Check-​in was less than 30 seconds and the clerk was very pleasant. Check-​out was done by calling the front desk. My receipt was e-​mailed to me.
Food/​Restaurants — There was no restaurant on-​site, but the standard Hampton breakfast buffet was available. We didn’t eat the buffet but instead took the free «breakfast in a sack» from the front desk. No room service.
Room — Room # 103. Deluxe King Non-​Smoking room. Nice, average sized room. There was a small desk with one desk chair. No other seating was in the room. 37″ HD TV with DirecTV and HBO. Very little storage space. A small coffee pot and coffee was in the room, plus a refrigerator and microwave. An iron and ironing board was in the hall closet. Plenty of power outlets were available. On the left side of the bed was a power outlet with two USB plugs.
Housekeeping — The room was spotless when we checked in.
Bed & Pillow Comfort — This is always subjective as everyone’s comfort preferences are different. For us the bed was too firm but the pillows were perfect. We slept well but were both sore in the morning due to the firm bed. Bedding was clean and fresh.
Temperature Control — The thermostat on the wall controlled the wall unit. Worked extremely well and got us cold at night, which is what we prefer.
Bathroom — Nice bathroom, though the large enclosed shower is starting to show its age. Neutrogena shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, face soap and body soap were provided. Hair dryer was attached to the bathroom wall.
Booking & Cost: I booked this room directly through the hotel’s website. Cost was: $ 83.00 (State Government rate); Tax — $ 12.04; Total — $ 95.04
Overall — It’s a very nice, convenient hotel and overall we were satisfied. For the price we paid it was better than expected.

Would I Stay Here Again: Yes

It’s not hard to drive from one side of Kansas to the other — one long, (mostly) straight line. It’s also pretty uneventful, save for a few hundred windmills. Luckily, there is this stop almost exactly in the middle, and that’s where you’ll find this Hampton.
Now there isn’t really much memorable about it, mind you, but it does make for a lovely stop when you’ve been driving so long that you’re about to go out of your mind if you see one more windmill (or even worse, nothing except more straight highway). So on that front, it’s great. Otherwise, move along.

Driving through Kansas on an icy night and the Hampton Inn hit the spot. Hot coffee when you arrive, comfortable beds and clean bathrooms. I didn’t care for my pillow but my husband pointed out they have an array of pillows to choose from so I just swapped it out. I was incredibly surprised at how good the potatoes were at breakfast. I would definitely stay again. Be warned for gas stops though, get gas south of I-​70, the gas station in front of the Hampton Inn (next to Best Western) was almost a full dollar more a gallon than across the highway.

I can’t believe that a Hampton with a $ 140/​night price point would be this amateurish. Woke up to a cold breakfast this morning (the French toast sticks were like shoe leather) and uncooked oatmeal still sitting in a gallon of water.
Hot water in the shower could be described as acceptably lukewarm. The king bed was firm enough to warrant a chiropractic adjustment. No Sprint voice or data coverage to speak of… But hey, the internet was pretty fast.
I guess that’s the price you pay when options are sparse because you’re on the middle of nowhere Kansas and all you want to do is get some rest. This is simply price gouging. This is an $ 85/​night Hampton anywhere else in the country.

The good: The beds are comfortable, the staff is friendly and the mints they leave in the lobby are tasty.
The Bad: The Pillows are like giant marshmallows and the rooms appliance such as the refrigerator and AC are extremely noisy. My fridge had an identity crisis at 4AM and decided it wanted to be an alarm. A neat trick for a fridge but not very pleasant. The next issue is with breakfast. While I always appreciate free food this was difficult to swallow. The eggs were glossy and tasted like rubber, the cheese was crunch and hard and the fruit was straight out of a can. Finally the workout facility is no larger than a broom closet and when three of us were on the machines (two treadmills and a bike) we blew the power circuit and rendering all of the equipment useless.

Engaging staff, clean rooms and a great shower. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. Best part about the stop in Hays by far.

Sometimes, you just want a hotel to have a clean nice private pool. Chances are that you’ll have to share the pool with others, but on some rare occasions, you’ll find yourself in the pool area all alone. And by alone, I mean with my two boys who absolutely loved having the opportunity to frolic in the pool unencumbered by other weary travelers as I sat on the side in a comfortable chair monitoring their safety while relaxing after a long day of driving.
So, for that reason alone. I give this hotel high marks. The rooms were, of course, clean and comfortable. This appears to be a newer property and that always helps. The front desk was helpful and discreet. The parking and access to the highway were excellent.

We had a really nice stay here. It’s a pretty standard Hampton Inn. The room was very clean and the staff was very helpful.
There is a giant Wal-​Mart and a Home Depot nearby in case you need to pick up any supplies.

The facility and amenities are those of a normal Hampton Inn. However the staff are arrogant, unfriendly, and the price of the room is twice that of the other hotels in Hays. Hampton Inn, based upon these parameters this is a poor representation of your brand. This coming from a loyal Hamptonite. Bad form!

Nice place to rest & relax. Friendly staff, clean rooms, fair breakfast.

Greeted when I walked in, friendly front staff. Asked if they could help me find a restaurant close by (I guess I looked hungry… and I was) .
Very clean hotel, very well laid out, very work friendly, big roomy desk, coffee maker is NOT in the bathroom (always a plus).
I will return! Be sure and book in advance… due to this hotel awesomeness (is that a real word?) it was full on a non-​event week day.
STAY HERE!
