Hampton Inn Ottumwa

The only thing that could improve is the accessible bathroom did not have any bars by the toilet to hold on to to get up.

Check-in was quick & easy. Room was clean & comfortable. Breakfast had options such a biscuits & gravy, sausage, cereal/toast/bagels, fresh fruit, oatmeal & yogurt. Waffle maker.

For $200.00 a night. I expected more. Room was clean but big stains on the ceiling. Furnitures with stains.

The water pressure in the shower was so bad that one couldn't get their hair shampooed and cleaned properly despite being the most expensive hotel in this small town

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!

When we got off the elevators to the second floor, I could smell cigarette smoke. When we entered room 215, the smell of cigarettes was even worse. The smell was so bad that it leached onto our clothes and belongings. It was late, so I didn’t complain when I probably should have. I keep wondering how management and housekeeping could have overlooked this and rented out this room. The staff and property was fine otherwise, but if I ever come back through this town I’ll probably try the Holiday Inn next door instead.

Room smelled a little when we arrived. No fan in the bathroom made the room humid. The bathroom door does not latch shut.

Only down side was that we could not close the drapes in the room that looked over the Hy-Vee parking lot. Also the flies in the eating area were pretty bad. Other than that, it was a pleasant stay.

The pool was not available and we were not notified till we checked in. The hot water heater broke one morning so we had to take cold showers. The last day at breakfast the milk in breakfast was all curdled.
