Home2suites in disguise of Hampton

Sheets and Towel quality was poor. Breakfast was nowhere close to Hampton standards. Feels like the property is Home2suites and is just selling the same room under Hampton brand name

Needs improvement

1. Multiple outlets were not working in the room. 2. There was only one working elevator. The second elevator was out of order. On Saturday, the working elevator would not open to the ground floor. Passengers would need to exit on the 2nd floor, walk down the stairs, in order to get to the ground level. On Saturday and Sunday, there were lines to get an elevator ride. It was a busy weekend and only one working elevator! There were no signs or notifications from the hotel staff to inform the hotel guests of the elevator dilemma.

Room was not ready at 3 pm for check-in. Staff was unable to reach housekeeping to confirm room status until 4 pm. While room was clean and quiet, the WiFi didn’t work or had very poor signal, and the sink clogged easily. One of the two elevators was broken so since there was only 1 functional elevator, it took a lot longer each time to go up/down.
