The room was spotless, staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Pool and hot tub were great! The only flaw was breakfast - it was disappointing, especially given how great everything else was. The options were good, however everything looked to have been sitting and overcooked even though I was there at 7am.

The hotel is pretty clean and has everything one expects from a Hampton Inn but there is MAJOR construction going on around the hotel making it confusing and difficult to get to. Be prepared for loud noise associated with this starting early in the morning.
