I would consider most Hampton Inns a 2-3 star on a 5-star rating; this one falls right where it should, on the upside of the 3-ish star rating.
Most Hampton Inns I have stayed in fall into the acceptable-for-the-dollar category. I will say that with over 11 stays in 2010 already, I choose Hampton's frequently as I can depend on the overall quality, cleanliness, the staff is almost always agreeable if not exceptional, and the free breakfast and free wireless internet add to it’s overall value.
This location is one of my return-visit locations. It is excellently located just outside of the metro-Atlanta area and offers me good access to a number of ATL areas when I am visiting. I lived in ATL for 15 years, and this location, Kennesaw, and Alpharetta are the 3 I usually go between (depending on my business meetings). This Atlanta-Cumberland location (actually on the edge of Smyrna) does have a bit of highway noise if this is a particular issue for you as it sits RIGHT on the 285 'perimeter loop' (never bothered me, but it's worth mentioning). There is another Hampton Inn on Circle 75 Parkway less than a mile away and I would, hands-down, choose this one over the other (I was satisfied with the other, but under-impressed, complacent staff, and this one is cleaner)!
The best is that it is affordable, but I appreciate the overall cleanliness of the rooms most. It is not a Hilton, and could always use a bit more cleaning ‘detail’ work here and there, but overall a good choice. The staff here has ALWAYS been exceptional!
