We have been staying at Hampton Inns for years. We love the cleanliness, current decor, breakfast buffets, & shuttle service. I booked this hotel online as usual. However, all that was available was a smoking room. I think they were renovating some of their rooms, which limited availability. I read on the website that this is a "nonsmoking" hotel. Naively, I assumed this room would be ok. Big mistake! The room absolutely smelled like an ashtray. It was late checking in, so thought since it's only one night. Another big mistake! I have never had asthma, but did that night. I was so stopped up, I could hardly breathe. The next day I had the worst sinus drainage imaginable. The worst part is the pajamas I slept in reeked of smoke when I opened suitcase at our next stop. This is very worrisome to me. Staying at a hotel where people actually smoke in bed!!!

dhickey924,
So sorry that you had encountered a smoking room. Although we do our best to eliminate smoke odors in our smoking guest rooms, the smoke smell is retained and will be offensive to a non smoker. We are not a smoke free property and should not be listed as one. We are a small size property and availability is limited at times. To help the availability on non-smoking rooms we are currently reducing the number smoking rooms in our inventory. We are also in the process of finishing our guestroom renovations, including reducing the number smoking rooms. If travel needs bring you back to the area please give us another try, I think you will be pleased. Thank you for your feedback, we do listen to our guest.
