“Updated lobby, friendly staff provide friendly, warm welcome”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

We visit family in Harrisonburg a couple of times a year, and we have stayed at many of the hotel chain properties in town (there are so many). This say was average. Nothing bad about it, but nothing to rave about. (We do not have a favorite in town, thus, the hotel hopping!)

This hotel is bright, warm and clean. The lobby was recently renovated, colors are soothing and attractive. The front desk staff was friendly. Our room was very clean.

Breakfast was included in our rate and included both warm and cold option.

Fitness Center is small. Simply one treadmill, one bike and one elliptical. Outdoor pool only.

The Hampton Inn on Covenant Drive in town is newer and has an indoor pool. Generally rates there are better. It was sold out the night we were in town.

This property on University is in a better location, close to mall and chain restaurants.

“Restful, nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012

We stopped at this Hampton Inn along a very long drive from the northeast to the south. We arrived late in the evening, but had no issues checking in or getting a room. It appeared that they were in the process of renovating the first floor, but the hotel was still very clean and quiet. I was a little wary at first, getting a room that shared a wall with the ice machine, but they've done well at some point with insulation in the walls as I couldn't hear the machine at all, even when my husband stepped out of the room to get some. The room was updated with a beautiful bath and a nice, comfortable bed with plenty of pillows. They had a great selection at breakfast, and it ran later than I expected on a weekday morning (which was quite nice after a late night arrival). Their coffee at breakfast was surprisingly excellent, which is unexpected as I think it's hard for many hotels that serve breakfast to keep the coffee fresh and not burned. Checkout was a breeze and we were on the road completely rested. It was a great location for us, being close to the interstate exit, and we were able to get right back on the road. Overall, it was a really nice stay, especially for the price, and it will be on our short list of places to stay if we need to make another, similar drive or if we want/need to visit the area.

“Nice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 December 2011

I really enjoyed my stay here at Hampton Inn. My only concern were the keys would stop working throughout the day. I had to get them switched out twice. The second time, I asked the lady at the desk, was this normal, and she said yes... The customer service was great. My fiancé and I are actually thinking about moving to Virginia...

Dear Valued Guest,

I’d like to thank you for selecting the Hampton Inn - University Area during your stay in Harrisonburg VA. I’m very pleased to learn of your delight with the service and hope to see you and your fiance living in Virginia soon. I can understand how frustrating it is when your room key doesn't work properly; electronic hotel key cards do get deactivated when you put them in your wallet up against a credit card or a blackberry.

Thank you for your feedback as it’s much appreciated! We look forward to an opportunity to serve you again.

Warmest Regards,

“Best Location & Team!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2011

people found this review helpful

I stayed at this Hampton Inn a few weeks ago and the people at the front desk were so cheerful and knowlegable aobut the area. We were meeting friends at JMU and they're located on University Blvd just minutes from the campus. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection of items and the ladies working were very friendly and personable. Shopping is very close, a mall across the street and Wal-Mart just a few blocks away. I will definitley stay again when I am in the Harrisonburg area.
