We are Hampton Inn-loyal and always stay at them when we travel, if possible. This particular Hampton is a lovely property on the surface - unfortunately, it's near a wastewater treatment facility that puts out a horrendous smell in the surrounding area - including inside the hotel. We first noticed it on the road driving up to the entrance and hoped it would not be inside. Sadly, it was - in the hallways, the rooms, the public areas, etc. When we asked about it at the front desk, we were told no other guests had mentioned it. Another couple arrived to check in just after us and they, too, immediately asked about the odor - so we clearly were not the only ones aware of it. Our rating is low because the hotel staff wasn't honest about it right away and tried to make us feel we were the sole travelers who could smell it. If you stay here, be aware you may have a less-than-pleasing smell permeating throughout the hotel and in your room. We would not stay here again.

I wanted to thank you for your recent feedback on Trip Advisor.
Please accept my sincere apologies for the smell which eminated from the outside. We have installed Febreeze scent air machines to eliminate the smell and i can assure you that if you stay with us again you will not find any smell in the hotel.
I would be greatly honored if you would provide my staff and myself to personally serve you in the future and prove our hospiatlity to you.
Thank You
Courtney Baxley
General Manager
