Perhaps they’ve updated since the 2011 review or maybe it’s just visiting when there’s nothing else going on in the area but I’ve got no serious complaints about this hotel. Yes, the room smelled a little off when we first got in, but I suspect that’s more from lack of use because once the A/C ran for a while, things were fine. Beds were comfortable, TV worked well, hot tub a welcome relief after 10+ hours in the car, breakfast a decent hot breakfast available at many hotel chains these days. 24 hour coffee/tea availability from more than the room coffee maker was nice. Very easy access to I-80. Will probably be staying here again for overnight stops during cross country trips. Booked in advance so paid under $ 100 too.

After the first night in the Hampton Inn in The Sturg, I thought, «three stars, not terribly bad». But after the second day, «three hours… two hours… one hour… let’s get the EFF outta here, yo!» I should have known something was amiss when the front desk not only allowed me to check in without ID, the credit card that was used to book the room OR the person who booked the room, but when they let me in to the bride and groom’s room to decorate as I saw fit for their wedding night. No security scares here. I should have left molitov cocktails around the room just to teach the hotel staff a proper lesson. While my getting into the room was obviously a plus for me, I was prepared to leave the goods with housekeeping and a nice tip to take care of the small feat. In addition to the lack of security, a huge lack of clean towels and hotel necessities thwarted our stay throughout the weekend. Drying off both hair and body with the lone clean wash cloth was super fun, I highly recommend. And the cherry on the stale and sour cake was the price. $ 140/night for THIS? Thank you AAA discount for keeping me from losing my ish over the bill. When asked why the Hampton was charging Holiday Inn prices, the concierge replied, «There’s a magic show in town. It’s our busiest weekend.» Yup. A few small perks: Really friendly staff. Wide-eyed and innocent, but friendly. Continental breakfast that included more than the staples no one likes anyway. Pool. Is it clean? No idea. But it’s there.
