Hampton Inn Sidney

I don't normally review hotels unless they are exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. Unfortunately, people do need to know about this hotel. We could have used some notice. We had checked this hotel on Yelp before staying and did not find any red flags, or any reviews at all in the last two years. However, after our stay, we checked Google Reviews and found many red flags. Guess we will be checking Google from here on out. Talking with a staff member, we understand that the hotel has been under renovation for 8 months so far, and will likely be under renovation for months more. Apparently the new beds have been on backorder for 12 months so far. They are renovating in stages. Fortunately, they have finished replacing the carpets already and there is no longer a lot of dust. However, the partially renovated rooms still have issues even with the replacements. We stayed in Room 200. Hilton App showed us checked in but we were not. We needed to check in manually. During our stay the key card system was not working and we had to be let into our rooms by staff. Bagged waters were not provided the night we stayed but were being offered to new people the next morning. Our stay here was the worst experience of the Hampton Inns on our 3000 mile road trip. Personally, we won't stay here again. We will stay either in North Platte or Cheyenne. PROS: 1. Windows do a decent job of blocking the freeway noise 2. The shower is new 3. The carpets are new 4. The couch and chairs are new 5. There is a bed 6. There is working AC 7. The door does lock 8. Water does work 9. Elevator does work 10. Staff was kind CONS: 1. The hotel is the closest hotel to the freeway. 2. Only one elevator 3. New shower drain was clogged already and drained very slowly, leaving us showering in a lake 4. Old shower head was not adjustable in any direction or flow rate or pattern 5. Toilet seat hinge was broken, tilting the seat 6. Toilet was too close to bathroom door, so that you had to close the bathroom door to sit down 7. Bathroom door drifted closed always and would hit you on the toilet. Bathroom door needed to be all the way open or hard closed. 8. Shower light took a long time to fully come on. Shower/toilet room was completely dark otherwise. 9. Beds were old, hard, and really uncomfortable 10. All room number signage is not mounted on the wall yet, it is sitting on the floor 11. Bathroom sink hot and cold are reversed 12. Shower temp varies A LOT and could scald you if you turn it up too far when it dips cold

Under renovation and left with dirty piles of materials everywhere, very poor appearance and smell, key cards did not work multiple times. A/c not working. Unfriendly staff. Not worth half the price! I will never take Hampton Inn quality for granted again.

Remodeling walls and floors. No problem.

It is difficult to say as it is undergoing a renovation. It was fine before, and I'm sure it will be good again. Hamptons are consistent.

I realize the hotel has started renovations so perhaps it will see improvements but it was pretty old and tired when I stayed. The mattress was all sunk in and uncomfortable. The carpet looked bad. Didn’t want to remove my socks. Elevators are very slow. The AC needs to be replaced. It was noisy and didn’t cool to the temperature set.

Room was under construction.

Very clean. Friendly staff. Plenty of towels. Good breakfast!

They are doing a remodel, so cannot give 5 stars but also shouldn't give 1

Easy access to the highway. The room was clean. The facility is undergoing renovations currently so certain areas are in a transition state (ie they are in the middle of replacing the carpets and there was only the carpet padding on the floors) The breakfast was fantastic. There are lots of areas outside to walk dogs if you are traveling with dogs.
