We just got back from three nights at the Hampton Inn and there were just a few issues that got in the way of me giving the experience five stars.
Pros:
- The staff are excellent! Kind, friendly, helpful, clearly have a great rapport with one another and a work environment they enjoy.
- The included breakfast was delicious and fairly wide-ranging. The western omelette and birthday cake batter for the waffle makers were particular favourites of mine (see below for a note about the omelette though).
- The location was close walking distance to shops and transit, making Brooklyn and Manhattan trips easy and accessible.
- Loved being so near the Target / Trader Joe's / Primark!
Cons:
- There was a lot of pork at the breakfasts, which means there was no meat option for my partner and child (Muslim) and would exclude folks who eat kosher as well.
- On one day the western omelette (with ham) was the only egg option, which was unfortunate. I feel there should always be a vegetarian option for eggs, at least upon request. We asked the staff and they confirmed that's all there was that day.
- The beds and bedding definitely need an upgrade, as they were not very comfortable.
Overall we had a great experience, and would gladly return - it was good value for the location. Fingers crossed they reconsider ensuring there is always a vegetarian egg option.
