Incorrect room type was given and the front desk staff didn't want to help and told me to contact expedia to fix it. Expedia agent called and fixed it for me right away and i checked out the next day to what was supposed to be a 2 night stay. Wouldnt stay here again or at any hampton inn going forward as it was a very unpleasant and uncomfortable first impression of the property.

looks like they're under renovation, the room we stayed at was clean obly problem was the ac, it gets loud at night, and complimentary breakfast is good, I wish they have more varieties atleast not the same menu in two days, we liked the hotel because it was walking distance to the waterfront, close to lots of tourist spots sspots

The location was perfect and the hotel was wonderful. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was so good and there was plenty. We would most certainly stay here again! Perfect for going to the Midway and rolling our suitcases to the cruise park. So close!

Once again, there was only 1 elevator for the entire hotel. This happened to me a few years ago when I visited. Having to use to stairs every time gets old and nobody wants to wait in line for an elevator that comes around every 10 minutes.

Our third stay and always excellent. Room ultra clean and comfortable, staff always great. Walking distance to cruise ship dock. Buffet breakfast good with eggs and sausage. Nice pool. Room had frigid but no microwave, however, there is a microwave in the breakfast area available for use. Definitely recommend.

toilet didn’t work, trash cans were too small, elevators didn’t work and there was only one and it was packed all the time. I had to take the stairs with my friends that could barely walk, breakfast was bad and even 30 min before it ended they were out of a lot of things and the food was also cold. Really slow service i had to wait in line just to buy a drink for like 10 min, parking garage is way too small and there aren’t enough spots. Staff was really nice though.

Friendly staff in great location and free breakfast. One downside is that only one lift is working and that leads to queues as the stairs are not hugely convenient. The lifts were the same a year ago - they really need fixing.
