“Clean, adequate stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed at the Hampton Inn during a shopping weekend for US Thanksgiving / Black Friday.
Room was very clean and no-frills, and the bathroom was new-ish and also very clean.

There are three outlet-type malls within an hour drive of the hotel (We went to two -- Great Lakes Crossing in Auburn Hills, which was about a 5 minute drive away; the Birch Run Premium Outlets in nearly Birch Run, MI about an hour away. There is also the Tanger Outlets in Howell, MI but we did not go here)

There was a little mix-up at check-in. I had booked for one night several months previously, and we had decided to extend the trip by coming a day earlier about a month ago.
I was not able to get the same (really really low) rate for the originally booked 2nd night, so I booked under 2 separate reservations for each night. I had called the hotel to ask if the reservations could be combined, but was told I would not be able to combine it as the nightly rates were different.
The lady at the check-in saw we were there for 2 nights and (trying to help), combined the reservations without checking the nightly rates. It took about 30 minutes to correct the mistake, which at least was eventually corrected and the original lower rate for the 2nd night was honoured.

Based on the number of cars in the parking lot, the hotel was probaby half empty on the first night. We were at the complimentary hot breakfast quite early and were the only ones in the breakfast room. This first morning they had sausage patties, cheese omelettes, mixed-fruit salad and of course the usual make-your-own waffles, breads, cereals, oatmeal and fresh fruits.

The second night we were there the hotel appeared to much busier, and that was evident when we entered the breakfast room and it was totally packed. It didn't appear that the one person manning the buffet was able to keep up with the demand and there were a shortage of plates and other foods. The juice on the 2nd day (from a fountain-type dispenser) was terribly watered down, there was no meat available (it was western omelettes and home-fries), and the only fruit left were grapefuit sections and some apples.

If I had only been there for the second night I would have thought that the breakfast was awful.

All in all, I would return if I am able to get another awesome deal.
There appears to be another Hampton Inn being built and opening in Dec 2011 directly beside the Great Lakes Crossing Mall. Although better located, a quick check for some dates next year show that the new hotel is significantly more expensive than this location.

For the money spent, it was clean, decently located and breakfast was adequate (at least on the first, less busy morning).

“Great Stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 November 2011

I stayed at the Hampton Inn on Saturday November 19th for one night with by best friend for a girls shopping weekend. The Hotel is in a great location for Great Lakes Crossing and all other shopping in the area. We didn't goto the Palace Theatre but it is very close to that as well so would be a great option if you are going to a concert there. I read other reviews before booking and people are right in saying that it is an older Hampton Inn compared to the newer ones I have stayed in but still nice, clean, and a good FREE hot breakfast. I would stay here again and I think they are trying there best to do some upgrades to get it up to par with the newer Hamptons. My ONLY complaint was that they did not have drinking glasses in the room, they only had paper cups. For a Hampton Inn by Hilton that was a disappointment, it would have been nice to have an actual Glass. After a long day of shopping some wine was needed but not the same drinking it from a paper cup. Not asking for wine glasses but a glass cup would have been better than a paper one! FYI they are building a brand new Hampton Inn right in the Great Lakes Crossing Mall parking lot it's just not open yet.

Room Tip: There is only 1 elevator so if you don't want to wait long stay on the first floor!

“Close to Great Lakes Crossing”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2011

Quick checkin, front desk personnel very willing to help with your questions regarding Restaurants and things to do in the area. Free breakfast was adequate for our needs. Only down side was the beds could of been a little larger as we were travelling with the mother inlaw 2 people to a bed was a little tight. Overall would stay there again.

“Very Disappointing - Could have gone next door for less”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

On a scale of 1 (low) to 10 (high), my overnight experience was a 5. Not great, but not the worse either. Just OK. But by Hampton Inn standards, certainly unacceptable.

On the plus side, the staff was very pleasant and friendly. And the outdoor pool area was clean, nicely cared for, and attractive. The free complimentary breakfast was adequate, but lacking. A meat side-dish would have been nice to have, in addition to the other choices.

On the negative side, my wife was not pleased when during the night, both the bottom sheet and mattress cover pulled free from three of the four corners of the bed. We awoke to find ourselves sleeping almost entirely, in direct contact with the mattress. It wasn't hard to believe that other prior guests found themselves in similar conditions (direct contact to that very mattress surface). My wife was thoroughly grossed out and she (ie. we) slept poorly the rest of the night.

Also, our room also had a stale, slightly smoky, chemical odor to it. We assumed that a prior guest once smoked in this room (against the rules) and efforts to neutralize the smell involved use of a deodorizing/sanitizing aerosol spray (certainly not floral scented). The front desk stated that running the room air conditioner would help lessen the smell. And it did made it less intense, but the smell could still be detected. Had we planned on staying more than one night, we would certainly have asked for a different room. And I realize that there are limited options to what a hotel can do, when guests break the rules and smoke in the rooms. All they can do is damage control, and try to remove/minimize the smell the best they can. But I have my doubts as to whether the hotel exercised other available measures (besides using just a deodorizing aerosol) to neutralize the smell in this particular room, such as washing all window coverings, carpeting, furniture fabrics, and walls/ceilings.

My wife summed up our overnight stay when she stated that we probably could have gotten a similar, if not better, experience at the economy chain next door, for half the price we paid to stay at this Hampton Inn. I found it hard to disagree, and only hope our experience was the rare extreme, and not the norm.

“Older Hampton Inn but a good stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

I was in town for a 1 night business trip. This was a typically good Hampton Inn stay but the hotel is older and my guess is a convert from another chain. I was greeted warmly and professionally. They had my keys waiting for me so the whole checkin process took less than a minute!

The room was fairly large with a good size work area. TV and Bedding relatively new and the bed was comfortable plus there was a lot of lighting and outlets to plug everything in.

The rugs looked new as did the tub (maybe newish) but the bathroom was small and the decor in general was dated (lots of older Gold looking accents). Work table, night stands and other wood furnishing seemed older as well. The sink was just outside the bathroom which I find odd but not really a big deal.

3 HBO Channels which was a nice little extra touch.

Felt safe and secure and overall I was happy with m experience and will stay here again when I am back in the area for work.

Good for my business trip and I would stay here again.
