We were very happy with everything with one exception. We used the indoor pool facility and found that the pool surfaces could have been much cleaner and the water more clear.

This stay was far less than ideal. Having to dodge water dripping within the pool area while watching my kids swim was ridiculous. This should be noticed provided informing of closures (i.e., fitness room) as some people seek out this amenity when choosing a hotel. There were so many hairs found within the bathtub that it looked like it was never cleaned. Overall appearance was not appealing whatsoever. Would certainly never stay there again. Very disappointed.

The property, main areas, and room were SPOTLESS! The reception upon arrival was VERY friendly and helpful. The people working at the breakfast area were amazing, helpful, clean, organized and lots of variety offered for breakfast. Love the 24 hr coffee/tea station. The bed was super comfy and the room was VERY spacious. Only ONE suggestion for improvement: the fitness room has great equipment albeit smells VERY moldy. Noted 2 large water stains on the ceiling. This issue should be resolved. Would definitely return again to this property!

This property was everything you would expect from a Hampton. Very Clean. Only a couple issues, the elevator swayed back and fourth when getting to the third floor, even with only one small person on it. The staff wouldn’t allow my 15 year old to buy a candy from the front desk, which meant at night after I was already in my pajamas I had to go down to the lobby to allow my 15 year old to use cash to buy a snack. It was ridiculous and not family friendly.

Cleaning could be improved. Don’t like the smell when you come in the main entrance. It smell like something old or not well-ventilated, almost mildew. Pool is not really clean theres like a brownish colour all around the inside or the pool. Mildew up the ceiling where the shower is. I have never been to a motel where you can BARELY take a normal shower. There is NO pressure at all. Takes forever to take a decent shower. Calle the help desk to complain and hime answered there wasn’t much he could do. Almost felt like in the 70’s. Will not return. I will pay the extra dollars and go To A Hilton

Room and hotel was clean. The morning desk clerk was rude as I had asked how I could receive my points from a previous stay at Hampton Inn just a few nights before. He informed me in a condescending tone that I was not eligible for points since I did not book directly thru Hampton. So my next stop I booked a Choice Hotel for 2 nights. Comfort Inn and Suites. I have to say it was a better all around experience and equal quality and price as a hamton Inn.

There were some cleanliness and upkeep issues with my room. The shower curtain was ripped and couldn’t keep the water in. The fridge froze our food. Some areas were not as clean as I would like. Not deal breakers but I did mention it as I was leaving. The person at the front desk did not care at all. Just said that was a housekeeping issue. Didn’t apologize, nothing. I wouldn’t have written this at all if he had acted like it mattered to him AT ALL. In contrast the girl when we checked in was excellent.

We just stayed one night for a cross-border shopping trip. While Watertown isn't the most exciting place to be, it was much cheaper than nearby Syracuse and they had all the things we needed for this trip. The hotel was clean, easy to find, comfy bed, friendly staff. Free parking is always nice. We opted to walk to dinner, since we were consuming alcohol. I guess no one else does that, as the sidewalks were fragmented and it was not a pedestrian friendly area at all.

This is the second time that we have stayed at this property. The property is very clean and safe which is extremely important to us. There are numerous restaurants and food choices in the area. The location is also great. My only recommendation we have is an expansion of the breakfast food options for increased consideration for those who do not eat pork/ham. The western omelet and maple bacon limits the hot food options greatly to just potatoes.
