We were upgraded to a suite, which had recently been renovated. I would highly recommend the suite, as it had a nice set up and much more room than most other Hampton Inn suites. The living area was large and the kitchen plenty big. There was a door between the living room/kitchen and the bedroom/bathroom area, allowing for adequate privacy if necessary. There were also doors on the bedroom and bathroom, doubling the privacy. Although we were there for just one night and didn't really need or use all the extra room, I would definitely stay here again if I were a Vanderbilt parent going to a football game or graduation. There is plenty of room for get-togethers, plus lots of privacy and you could easily tailgate or entertain in this room. There's also an option of adding a bedroom through a connecting door. I'm sure when the renovations are done, this will be an even better place to stay.

We stayed here to attend a wedding a week ago. The hotel is clean and the rooms are nice. The hot breakfast with waffles, eggs, etc is a nice touch. The staff in friendly and helpful. Location is good as it is only a couple miles to downtown.

Initially I was excited to be booked in what appeared to be a very nice hotel for an extended stay on the dime of my company. Initial good impressions quickly changed to a general state of being unimpressed and eventual outright disappointment and anger.

The hotel itself has the potential to be very nice. It has nice aesthetics, and they are renovating which is a sign of continuing improvement. The extended stay room assigned to me was spacious and had nice features such as wood floors and nice tiling throughout the bathroom. Unfortunately, these features do not outweigh the negatives.

I would rather stay in a simple hotel, with great service over a high-end hotel with crap service. The Hampton is the latter.

If you are on business and rely on Wi-Fi, don't count on it to do your evening business. The connection is horrid and for a span of three days I did not even have access to the internet.

Want a wake up call? Good luck. Unlike other efficient hotels that have automated wake up call service, you have to call the lobby to have the attendant schedule your wake up time. If the attendant is not close to the phone, pray that your cell alarm can wake you. One night I spent three minutes with the lobby desk ringing before I gave up and just went to bed.

Need to do laundry? Better hope no one else needs to at the same time. This is what, an eight or nine story hotel - guess how many washing machines they have? That's right! One, on the 7th floor, and of course it was occupied when I needed to do laundry at 12:30 a.m.

Cleanliness is obviously not a priority for the hotel's cleaning staff. When I pulled apart the trendy two-part couch, searching for an outlet, I found a bag of half eaten cheetos and a pack of dentyne ice gum - at least it was brand new, what a find!

Construction is unavoidable, and it's unfortunate that it happened during my stay. It was just the cherry on top to make my stay that much better. I enjoyed breathing in the dust particles from the cut pieces of drywall, and I made nice conversation with some of the construction workers (be it mostly broken English, God bless 'em) as I awkwardly tip- toed my way past them tiling the hall.

This hotel is NOT worth it, especially considering the price. You'd be better off at motel 6 - at least they leave the light on!

We stayed here Sept 23-25. The hotel is undergoing construction, which means it's a mess. We were originally given room 129. The room is directly across from the laundry room, which people are in and out of constantly. You can hear the door opening and closing, people's conversations as they hang out in the hall and the stench of unwashed laundry. Once all the rooms are cleaned the cleaning carts are lined up in the back hallway just outside the doors of 128 and 129 so you have to squeeze past to get to your room. On top of all this, the construction noise was horrible. We asked to be moved. Thankfully they had a room available on the 4th floor. It was like another world up there. The room had been completely renovated, we couldn't hear maids or the construction. The breakfast spread in the morning was substantial. Once we moved, I was pleased with the hotel. Just don't stay in 128 or 129 and you'll have a pleasant visit. Honestly, they shouldn't even be renting those rooms. Or if they are, they should be given a steep discount.
