Hampton Inn Hammond

The pool is modern and clean, and a nice place to relax, though it closes at 10 p.m. Breakfast was a highlight too, with lots of choices and fresh coffee always ready. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable and well kept. Check-in went smoothly, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and my room was spotless, quiet and safe. The bed was cozy. The bathroom looks modern, with sliding glass shower doors, but the toiletries are very basic and there’s no vent, so moisture builds up in the small space. The front doors lock at 9 p.m., though you can still enter with your keycard. The phones may not be closely monitored later in the evening, so ask any questions before then. It’s close to restaurants and the interstate, and I’d stay here again.

At 11:45 a.m., before checkout time, someone from the front desk called our room and then a man knocked and shouted at us. I was in the shower and thought we might have lost track of time, so I jumped out quickly. I didn’t open the door, but told him we were still there and asked if it was past noon. The staff were banging on the door and hounding us when checkout wasn’t until 12. I was so startled and rushed that I didn’t even get all the conditioner out of my hair. We left on time at 11:59 a.m., and we won’t stay here again.

There was plenty of parking, and they could fit my trailer. The room was clean and check-in was very easy. Breakfast was standard hotel fare, with everything stocked and ready. The pool looked nice, though I didn’t use it. I’d stay again.

A lovely stop for tired travelers. The staff really care about customer service, and breakfast was especially lively!
