We were in town for a concert at the Schottenstein Center, the hotel was very convenient proximity wise and was an easy walk back after the concert. The hotel itself was very nice and clean. I’m not sure if it’s newer or was recently renovated but it really is in great shape. The room we had was spacious and clean and the staff was very nice and friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel itself was very good; clean, good service, somewhat friendly. The problem for us was we had to drive to go downtown, to eat in a nice restaurant or go to the soccer stadium. But if that’s not an issue for you, there are food chains nearby and it is a short drive to the city.

I've stayed in a number of Hamptons. Although the property and my room were good, I believe it is an older Hampton property. That is, Ive stayed in other/newer Hampton properties that felt "fresh." And of course, the "public areas" of "Hampton Inn style hotels are more open and inviting. Yet, I stayed in a Comfort Inn (owned by the same corporate group) that was equally nice albeit a less "lux" public space, for considerably less...

Nobody cleaned my room until day 2. Parking lot lighting was so bright, and curtains were too short to block it. The cooked breakfast foods were terrible and hair was spotted in the eggs. I love Hampton Inn but I’ll never stay at this one again.
