Best Hotel in Town
Posted 7-Sep-2017
Pros: Location
Cleanliness
Comfortable
Nice Staff
I grew up in the area and after many years of coming back to visit family and friends, we have decided to stay at the Hampton due to the great experience we have every time. There isn't much to do in town and even the Target across the road closed, but anyone with kids can't beat having Hy-Vee next door for those last minute trips for items you might have forgotten. Decent breakfast and rooms are always clean and comfortable. Overall this is the best hotel we have stayed at in Ottumwa. Recommend to anyone.

Spa Broken!
Posted 12-Jun-2017 on HotelsThe spa was broken which is disappointing for spending $129 a night I wanted to be able to enjoy a spa while the kids swam. The service was good and staff very friendly

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to leave a review. I know it can be frustrating when you have expectations and they are not met. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience of the spa being down. Unfortunately we were sent an incorrect part to fix it. It is operational now and we hope you will give us another chance. I am pleased to hear that you received good service from my staff.

Overall very good. My only problem was internet service was problematic. I thought the cost was a little steep for the area.

No black out shade or curtain, but clean and quiet
Posted 31-May-2017 on HotelsThe room was clean and pleasant, and quiet but I was very unhappy with the fact that the only curtain was a wispy sheer. It didn't provide privacy and there was no black out shade to keep the room dark. I have really enjoyed staying in Hampton Inns up until now, but that would be a real disincentive to stay in the future if that is a chain-wide change.

Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to give us some feedback. I am glad you found the room clean and pleasant, but I am surprised that you could not find the blackout curtains. All of our guest rooms have black out curtains. Perhaps they were pushed back. Did you let the front desk know they were missing, if they were missing? Had they been missing we would have certainly fixed the issue.
Thank you

Close to restaurants
Posted 23-Jan-2017They changed my credit card $50 that I didn't have any charges

Thank you for staying with us. I apologize that my staff did not explain that we authorize $50.00 for incidentals. This is an authorization and not a charge. We do this because you can charge things to your room such as Suite Shop purchases. This authorization will fall off within 72 hours for a credit card and within 10 business days for a debit card. Again I apologize for any inconvenience.
