What Guests Are Saying

“Too bad Hilton does not ask for feedback directly. I appreciate that Hamptons are consistent. Ophelia at check in was friendly and efficient. She thanked me for being a Diamond. Breakfast was standard and I thanked the 2 women on shift for making great oatmeal! The oats were steamed perfectly. Kalia at checkout was also efficient and friendly. And shout out to employee Logan who shared anecdotes about the nearby recording studios and the music scene in Houston TX. Overall, another pleasant experience!” — No S., 5 stars

“Our visit was pleasant. I had my 4 boys with me on this trip, oldest 18 and youngest 3. I got the 2 queen bed suite and it was plenty room for us. The living area has a sofa that pulled out to a full size bed, and they had a tv in that area and a second tv in the bedroom. It was really nice not having us all piled up on each other like some other hotel rooms are. Lol. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly and courteous. My boys enjoyed the breakfast and the older ones made their own waffles which they loved! I like small towns and this was a great experience.” — Robin M., 5 stars

“Ugly, cheap garbage furniture and decorations! Front desk lied to me when they said my room was locked in for me. Nope! Bottom floor, no view! Wasn’t worth$59 a night, but paid $259 to stay in garbage! Never Hampton Inn again! Hilton honor member screwed over!” — Mike, 1 star
