I’m a huge fan and customer of Hilton Brands, especially Hampton Inn Hotels. Whenever I travel, I intentionally look for Hampton Inn accommodations. The Hampton Inn El Cajun did not meet the experienced standards or expectations of Hampton Inn. 1. The first room we were assigned was not properly cleaned (bathroom floor was not mopped), and the heat did not work. 2. We were moved to another room on day two, The room was clean, and the heat did work, BUT, we had to call the desk a couple of times because of the excessive noise coming from the room above us, The breakfast was excellent each day, the staff and service amazing, and I am pleased with the overall experience in g my stay

I was upgraded to a larger room for free because my reserved room wasn't ready. The room was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Large shower with instant hot water. Room included microwave, fridge, and mini coffee machine, large TV and very comfortable bed. The only problem was the blackout curtain was missing from the largest window in the room. Because it faced a freeway, there were no bright lights to disrupt my sleep. Manager was very polite and helpful. An In-N-Out burger restaurant was right next door!

Pet friendly hotel wasn't that pet friendly. We were asking if we could take our Golden retriever out for a walk while they changed the sheets. Said housekeeping was scared to death of our dog, Our Golden retriever that is the most sweetest breed of dogs. Housekeepers need to be ok with a pet friendly hotel. We did have to pay extra for our pet.

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!
