Hampton Inn Winfield/teays Valley

We stopped at the Fireside Grill for a bite while driving, and the food was delicious. The waitress suggested the Hampton next door when we asked for a hotel. We hadn’t booked ahead, and the construction sign should probably have been my first clue. The clerk seemed a bit annoyed, but said there were a few rooms, so I chose a king. I thought she quoted $211, and when I asked about a AAA discount, she said that was the best rate. I booked, gave my Hilton Honors details, and paid without really checking the amount. The email from Hilton Honors showed a bill of $298. The room was decent but very dated, and it certainly wasn’t worth $300. I’ll pre-book next time, but still, $300!

The bed was soft, and the hall and room smelled like new carpet, maybe. I didn’t notice smoke or food odors like at some hotels. They’re renovating the first floor, so it’s a bit messy there. I’d stay again.

We’ve stayed here several times since March 2025, after moving down from up north when I was six months pregnant. My husband John Ocheltree and I are glad to call it our home away from home, and now that our son is older, he enjoys how friendly the staff are too. Day manager JOSHUA CROSS knows our family by name, as does JACKIE at the front desk. The head night manager knows us well too, and the day housekeepers are quick and efficient. It’s refreshing to see updates happening, following the lead of other older Hiltons. The night crew could still use a little more training, but patience matters. Please give these HEROES a raise! Thank you for being a light in our lives. Love always, mom and dad, Baby, Penny and Taz 🐾

We didn’t get the usual Hampton Inn welcome from the front desk. Maybe the staff were exhausted or underpaid, but they seemed extremely tired. Even the TV monitor, which normally welcomes us however late our reservation is, didn’t greet us in the usual way. The breakfast was great, and water pressure was alright. The box springs were noisy and shifted each time, and outside sounds carried into the room. I also saw non-handicapped vehicles parked in ADA spaces without placards or license plates showing they were handicapped. I was very tempted to post photos of those SUVs, since their “convenience” seemed to come before disabled people.
