Don't be misled by the 3 stars! This is a lovely and competitively-priced hotel in an amazing location! The staff was very helpful, welcoming & friendly. The beds were comfortable & always my favorite thing about Hampton Inn's. The room was clean and homey. The free breakfast is another major reason to pick Hampton!
Breakfast here was decent & had a wide variety: yogurt, cereal, bread, cheese, etc; make-your-own waffles, scrambled or boiled eggs, bacon, & sausages (that seemed a bit undercooked)...but the "hot food" in general was only luke warm.
A few very minor things...The shower's soap dispenser was empty...and there was no soap for the sink. The showerhead was detachable and if the cord was even slightly twisted, the whole bathroom floor got soaked!
The thermostat in our room was stuck on 18°C (63°F) but felt much warmer with very little room for adjustment.
Our story: We arrived late & the room was pitch black. We didn't see the slot by the door to use your room key for the lights. In the darkness we fumbled around looking for a light switch and hit a random button on the wall that started flashing red, alerting the front desk who called us immediately instructing us to press the green button next to it twice make it stop...
In the middle of the night, an agonizingly high-pitched alarm woke us up and we couldn't find its source. It stopped after a couple mins...The next day, nearly 12hrs later, the alarm began again. This time it did not stop, we called the front desk and a nice man came up to turn it off....By pressing the green button twice?!
The room has 3...THREE emergency alert methods (2 foolishly placed buttons and a pull cord in the bathroom). I have never seen anything like it. One button is by the bed, above the phone, exactly where you'd reach to turn out a light. It's red with a little man on it. A matching red one is on the wall by the foot of the bed...right where you have to shimmy sideways to get between the wall and the bed. The green button I mentioned earlier (that you have to press twice) is next to it...aside from the staff telling us what it was, or how to use it, we'd never have known.
