Hampton Inn Linden

The breakfast was very enjoyable

The waste basket had not been emptied We did not know how to operate the television and a non English speaking employee was sent. We finally figured it out ourselves. No one was at front desk when went to checkout and wanted a paper receipt of which I stood there for 10 mins and said forget about it.

The staff were friendly. The room was clean

Overall not a great experience. Book the room, given a total. Asked to swipe my card when I got there. Later check my account only to find the money taken was $50 higher than I was told. No explanation until I inquired they hold an extra $50 until after check out. Seems odd but… the room was clean. But, the the shower doors would not stay closed. Some had to clean up water every time we showered. The bathroom faucet was so loose that the whole thing would turn instead of turning on. And for a brand new hotel it’s not very soundproof. So we can hear all the traffic and cars racing and peeling out in the streets all night. Then comes the next morning. The power goes out, alarms are going off. They get that all silenced, powers back on. We go to leave… the elevators don’t work. We have to carry all our luggage all the way to the other side of the hotel and then down four flights of stairs. Needless to say we will not be staying there in the future.

That it had a gym and continental breakfast

Rooms should be cleaned daily. It’s already 5 years post-Covid. The only hotel I know of that rooms are cleaned on alternate days.
