Hampton Inn by Hilton Hamilton

8/10 Good
"Liked the hotel and if we come back to the area it's on our list. Breakfast was nice to have but the quality of things like the eggs looked and felt overlooked or trying to cut any dollar they can. The layout of the buffet really did not lend any benefit to how it could be good. Lots of potential for improvement. Would recommend the waffles thou. It was nice having the underground parking to come back to and the facility overall was good. Did not interact with staff much which is why it's a neutral rating and did not spend time using things like the pool. Cannot leave a review for any of those. For the TV side of things we didn't find it to be anything good. Options were below any tangible value. Room was great overall and liked how things like the soap was dispensed as it has some thought put into it. Would have liked thicker covers on the bed as they were too light and thin. Will go back."
