Hampton Inn Sidney

Of all the Hamptons I've stayed at -- and I used to stay in them for work weekly -- this one is easily the worst. Two reasons: ONE: Despite having my Do Not Disturb/Sleeping sign on the door, housekeeping knocked several times and when I did not respond, they attempted to open the door. The next day, when i returned to my room in the late afternoon, despite again having the Do Not Disturb sign on the door, they had entered my room and cleaned it, moving my stuff around (clothes, computer case, etc). I had not put away anything of value, and it was invasive and unacceptable. TWO: Every single morning of my five days, the breakfast room TV was set to Fox News. There is no way a hotel should have the TV set to such a partisan channel, given the current political climate. Despite mentioning this to the front desk several times, that a neutral morning show channel would be more appropriate for a hotel setting with a myriad of guests, I only got a shoulder shrug. All I can conclude from the above, is that this hotel is terribly managed and staff is inadequately trained.

I’m not sure why this hotel gets some mediocre reviews. After pouring over hotel reviews in Sidney and seeing most got “don’t ever stay here” reviews I finally opted for the Hampton. I requested an early check in and my room was ready nearly an hour before that. It was clean and very comfortable. The bathroom was a nice size and the shower, though not extraordinary, was nice enough to satisfy. The front desk was very nice and the breakfast was the usual hotel fare. I love the digital key access for super easy check in and checkout. I would absolutely recommend this hotel for your stay.

The room was dirty and smelled. Curtain had a rip and there were cobwebs on ceiling. Bathroom toilet bowl was dirty as well as floor and shower. Front desk staff would not move us to another room. Based on number of cars at night, the place wasn't even half full. Do NOT say here.
