HAMPTON INN HAMMOND ^{* *}

Everything was great, everyone was great.
Who puts a hotel by a railroad where a train will blow the horn every night for 5 minutes at 4:30 in the morning?!

Rarely do you find a hotel that you can't find anything wrong with it. Hampton Inn Hammond is one of those rare finds. This was the best hotel I've stayed at in a very long time. To start with, I can not say enough great things about the staff! They were kind, friendly and genuinely cared that I had a great stay at the hotel. I had a question and they found the answer quickly and then checked back in later to make sure everything was OK. The room was comfortable, well laid out and clean. The bed was a tad bit firmer than I generally like but that is a personal preference. I slept very well every night. I did not hear any road noise and the room was pretty dark. I definitely recommend this hotel and will stay here again when I'm in the area. 5+++ stars

Overall, this hotel is very nice and visually clean. However, I am so SO tired of encountering sticky hotel room floors. Both the bathroom tile and the carpet were disgustingly sticky. I put my socks back on immediately after showering, and I felt guilty letting my 1.5 year old play on the floor. It's not just the gross physical sensation that bothers me; it's knowing the cleaner that is leaving behind this sticky residue is full of harmful chemicals. I watched the housekeepers spray cleaner all over the floor, give it a quick rub with a dry mop and walk away. That's not good, even if you're not concerned about these "cleaning" chemicals that are proven to cause cancer and disrupt our endocrine systems. You know what? If you shake up water, vinegar and tea tree oil, you have a natural cleaning solution that disinfects surfaces without leaving behind a gross sticky residue. It also doesn't poison people. Imagine that.

Rooms are clean, security is ok, service is good, good lighting in the parking lot, decent breakfast

The room and bed were very comfortable.
Some attention to detail could be addressed. There were three jutting out metal pieces on the wall that may at some time held a large heavy mirror but were left attached there.
Getting to the mini fridge was interesting. The cabinet door opened to the left and immediately in it the mini fridge opened to the right. Just a little maze to get into it. But the small freezer section was definitely freezing!
The ice machine on the floor didn't work but did on the other floors.
There is a $15 incidentals fee put on the card when we checked in. When they email the bill we will see if it was removed.
I would definitely stay here again
