What Guests Are Saying

“I’m not sure who Hampton Inn has hired for decorating, but this was the worst yet. Pillows were nice, mattress not so much. Light from the hallway was coming in through bottom and side of our door. We got charged a high amount stating “last room left”, but this wasn’t the case. Rooms were available, yet we got to hear people getting on and off the elevator everytime it hit 3rd floor. Will stay elsewhere for our next trip to Pelham.” — Arnold D., 3 stars

“Won’t stay at Hampton again. New floor plan has eliminated easy chair from room. Now only desk chair. Also issues with plumbing and some unwanted critters. Definitely uncomfortable without typical seating in the room.” — Shari G., 2 stars

“We stayed here for a layover night on a 15 hour drive. We picked a cheap hotel outside of Birmingham just to get there at 5pm and leave at 9am the next morning. The smell hits you like a brick when you first get in the room. It’s worse than a Hampton inn in downtown Charleston wv. The room was not very clean at all. I did not sleep under the covers as I had no trust in the beds. It did not smell or seem clean like usual hotel rooms. There were dirty socks on the floor of the room just left behind. The main entrance area and food area was 100000 times cleaner than the room. You also had to get in the hotel and room by something on your phone. The hotel breakfast and cheap price is what gives this hotel 2 stars. Other than that, you can find a better hotel.” — user, 2 stars
