Hampton Inn & Suites Lenoir

8/10 Good
"The room was nice. Pros: Quiet HVAC, Bathroom & shower well lit and efficient, nice tv, lots of counter space. Cons: Hated the heavy sliding door (noisy and easy to mash fingers), VERY unhappy there were no bedside tables/reading lamps in the corners, one of the mattresses was badly worn in and not flat (not very comfortable), unhappy that no tv streaming services available included in the price of my room, unhappy that no senior or AAA discount was made available to me, the prices of the snacks were ridiculous . There is an additional $10 charge on my card and I'm not sure why!! I should hope it will be refunded. The breakfast was okay although the bananas and apples were woefully overripe and the eggs were not hot. All in all, the staff were polite and the parking was fine."
