What guests think

At Hampton Inn Ottumwa, travelers consistently praise the welcoming, helpful staff and generally convenient location near Highway 34 and nearby shops, while feedback on facilities and room conditions varies from clean and comfortable to dated with maintenance issues.

Many reviews note clean rooms and common areas, though some report musty odors, mold in bathrooms, stained furnishings, and one bed bug incident. Breakfast is frequently described as good with variety, but others found it plain or served cold, and flies were noted once. Rooms are comfortable for short stays, yet several mention dated décor, noisy or weak air conditioning, poor Wi-Fi, low shower pressure, and occasional issues like blackout drapes that do not close or limited TV channels. The pool was closed during multiple stays, so overall expect a convenient stop with variable upkeep and occasional facility disruptions.

Mold on shower base. Luggage carrier difficult to move. Door to room let in light. Too soft pillows. False fire alarm sounded in the evening so we had to evacuate. Room air conditioner noisy and was not cooling the room. No steps from upper lot to the motel front entrance. Crowded room with too large of furniture. No TV connection to ABC, CBS and NBC major networks. This location is one Hampton Inn that has slipped through the cracks.

The pool was closed for maintenance while we were there. They would have contacted a neighboring hotel for us to use their pool but we decided against it. Breakfast was very good. Lots of variety. Staff very friendly. We enjoyed our stay and will return!

The location was great. The hotel needs updating. There were cracks in the bathroom tile flooring. Our air conditioner made weird sounds. The chairs in the breakfast area had cracked seat coverings. We normally love Hampton Inns. This one was a disappointment!

This is a nice property well maintained and clean. The breakfast area was decent. I usually stay at this location for family christmas due to the pool for the younger grandkids however this tie the pool was closed for some reason! I also called this location a few weeks in advance and requested adjointing rooms which they noted. When we arrived our rooms were not even on the same floor!!

Pool was under “renovation”. One hotel employee told my family it would be back up and running in two days. A different employee told another family it would be 2 months. The trim in our room was falling off the wall. The bathroom door wouldn’t latch. When we went to open up the sofa bed it looked like someone had gotten their hair cut on it. Overall wasn’t a very enjoyable experience. Won’t be staying there again.

parking area could be improved, as removing the grassy area outside of main door as it would provide more parking area and reduce the chance of a fall on that steep bank.

I’ve stayed in much cleaner and friendlier Hampton Inns. Shower stall needed to be deep cleaned and the bottom sheet kept coming off the mattress. Fox News should not be on the TV channel in the breakfast area. The morning desk clerk should not be having a personal conversation about his finances for EVERYOne to hear. And guest should be acknowledged when they walk in.

I stayed in room 325 and it was clean and comfortable. However, my mother stayed in room 309 and killed bed bugs after she woke up and came home full of bites from the stay. A serious look must happen and prompt treatment should be completed as soon as possible.
