This property fits in with why Hampton Inn is a regular choice for our family's travel. As expected, everything was comfortable, everyone was friendly and helpful, and it was relatively easy to leave and return to the parking lot. One piece of advice, In-n-Out traffic, adjacent to the property may affect navigating the parking on that side, but fabulous stay with low stress and a nice room. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean, and I appreciated the additional lighting in the bathroom.

The property was mostly clean. Our room had a number of issues. We could have asked for a different room, but since it was just a place to sleep they weren’t enough of an issue to move.

Amazing friendly service. Sebastian was especially helpful and informative. All the staff went over and above what we have received from some other hotels. The breakfast each morning, which came with our reservation, was absolutely delicious and a great variety to choose from. The best part of breakfast was Anita - she was so helpful and friendly each morning - it made having breakfast there a wonderful experience! We highly recommend this hotel!

They don't clean the room unless we request it
They did not make bed or change towels. I called the front desk to complain and they said they don't clean the room unless we request to do so. None told us such a rule and they said it is the rule after the COVID started. However, the COVID is no longer big issue and it won't make sense at all. It sounds it is only for saving cost at the hotel side. We liked Hampton Inn, but this time it was very bad experience and very much disappointed.
