In May 2023 I had stayed one night on the Hampton side of this property. This visit I was staying in town 6 nights, instead of just 1 and wanted a little more space. I chose the Home2 Suites side. Sun 9/24 thru Sat 9/30. I was in room 442. The room was spacious, all fixtures worked as expected, the true blackout shades worked great. Appreciated the decent sized refrigerator and freezer for a nearly week-long stay - came in handy for a few essentials and leftovers. The room was clean and had a good start-up supply of 3 sets of towels. The AC worked well, even though I set the fan to High at all times, it wasn’t loud. What I did find noisy was when either the HVAC system on the roof or on lower floors cycled on, it created a reverberation or low hum that I found annoying and made it hard to fall asleep – had to use earplugs several days. Also noisy was the trash being collected by loud garbage trucks banging around at least 2 mornings between 3:30am and 4:00am. (An odd numbered room facing the bank or Hurstbourne Rd. might have been quieter) The carpet was stained in multiple places in my room. I think a deep clean is in order. While the room was fine, and let’s face it that’s probably the most important part, the experience in other parts of the hotel weren’t as great. If the hotel can improve these things, they can raise their rating. Breakfast – Monday 9/25 and Tuesday 9/26 – absolutely no fresh fruit offered. I stay in Hilton properties across the country multiple times a year; normally you can find bananas or apples – there were none. Also, the only yogurt offered was Trix cereal-flavored. That might have worked for the 6 year olds, but not adults. Luckily by Wednesday morning they had fresh fruit and the typical Yoplait yogurt selections that is more up to the Hilton Standard. However, each day the toppings containers for the oatmeal and waffles were really gross. They had streak marks and looked and felt dirty. These need to be cleaned daily, if not multiple times during the service. I did not eat any of the frozen and reheated hot items due to high salt content. I stuck with oatmeal and toast or nothing at all. Another thing many Hamptons have had in the past, and this Home2 shares with Hampton, was hard boiled eggs. There were none offered any day. Public spaces furnishings – I didn’t take time to take a photo, but the fake leather cover/upholstered cushions in the breakfast area along the wall with higher backs was peeling off terribly in many places. Looked very worn and uninviting. Workout room – on Sunday there was only 1 treadmill working, the other days it appeared 2 were working, but the 3rd sat there non-functioning with no sign. There was no sanitizing wipes, so all machines were dirty with sweat stains. Staffing at the front desk – The only friendly and truly hospitable and helpful clerk was Rachel. She seemed to care when I shared the concern about the breakfast and was willing to check. Other cle
