Hampton Inns tend to be pretty standard and consistent, but there are variations. For example, this establishment has only what it calls queen beds. Don't be suckered in -- I measured them and they are what the rest of the world calls doubles. I found it a little difficult to believe that they have no kings (actually they do have a few -- all associated with 3 or 4 jacuzzi suites). But then I saw the size of the rooms -- the smallest Hampton Inn rooms I've ever seen.
The bathrooms are equally small, barely adequate to turn around in. The "queen" rooms also have no bathtubs -- only postage stamp sized shower stalls. So, if you're a bathtub person, be aware!
The room I checked into had no lamp on the desk -- I ended up getting a lamp from another room that was left wide open for several days. Apparently there is some upgrading going on, although I really couldn't see any significant improvement.
The wireless connection was exceedingly slow -- when I called the front desk the individual on duty was less than no help -- certainly not up to Hampton standards. The only solution I found was to use the ethernet cable, which gave me satisfactory, although certainly not blazing, speed. So I've left "high speed internet" as "not sure." Yeah, they have internet and yes, it's free. It's just not what I consider "high speed."
The breakfast was adequate, pretty typical of Hampton Inn. Nothing to write home about or go back for.
Another reviewer here said this hotel has a special floor and amenities for Hilton Honors members. Well, I wasn't offered any special floor and there were certainly no special amenities. Perhaps the silver level isn't special enough. In any event -- don't count on anything out of the ordinary.
All in all, this was on the low end of Hampton service and facilities. On the other hand, I suspect they get away with it since Americus has a dearth of good hotels. This is likely the best of a generally poor lot -- and they are taking advantage of the situation.
