I stayed at this hotel in December, and while I usually rely on Hilton properties for a clean and comfortable stay—not luxurious but dependable—this location unfortunately fell short of expectations. See pics attached.||To start, the rate was $180 including taxes, which is quite high for a Hampton. For comparison, I stayed at the Hampton in Dadeland in October, and everything was great there. Here’s a summary of my experience during this stay:||Room 627: When I first checked in, the room was not clean. The bedding had visible makeup stains, and it was evident that the room hadn’t been properly prepared. I reported this to the front desk and requested better cleaning for the following day. It wasn’t a huge issue initially, but I do expect a clean room that feels properly inspected. I decided to wait until the next day, hoping things would improve.||Bugs in Room 627: The next morning, I discovered bugs in the room. I’m not sure what type, but I have video evidence, trip advisor will only allow me to add pics. Naturally, this was extremely concerning, and I immediately requested to be moved to another room.||Room 310: Unfortunately, the second room was also disappointing. It had visible blood stains and hair throughout, which was completely unacceptable. Given the bugs we’d already experienced in the previous room, this added to our stress.||Urine Smell in Room 310: After turning off the AC in Room 310 during the day, I returned in the afternoon to a strong urine odor emanating from the carpet. The smell was overwhelming and made the room very uncomfortable to stay in. It resembled the smell of a dirty diaper and was impossible to ignore.||While the front desk staff was professional and courteous, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was being perceived as a “complainer.” However, bugs in a hotel room and the smell of urine in another are not minor issues. These are fundamental problems that should not occur at any hotel, especially not a Hilton property.||It’s worth noting that the staff made some efforts to address the situation afterward, but it felt like too little, too late. At the end of my 7-day stay, I still paid $800—around $100 per night—which is fair for this type of hotel, but there was very little compensation for the stressful experience.||If you’re paying more than $150 per night here, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Also, while many reviews mention this property is “new,” I found the furniture, carpets, and even the breakfast/lobby area to feel dated and worn. The reviews seem inconsistent with what I observed, so take them with a grain of salt.||Hilton properties are typically reliable, but this stay didn’t meet the brand’s standards. I still feel itchy and uncomfortable after switching rooms, and I hope management takes these issues seriously to improve conditions for future guests. If cleanliness and consistency are important to you, I suggest considering other options in the area.
