We were here recently to attend the Alien Fest in nearby Spruce Pines ( about 20 minutes away). ||This hotel is amazing. Check-in was quick. It was also $50 cheaper than what we were expecting based on our booking.com booking. Our room is perfect. We have a first-floor room with a king-size bed. The TV says Welcome Susan! There is a chair and table perfect for my husband to get comfy and read. We have a mini fridge. The bathroom is a very nice size. There is plenty of counter space for all of my toiletries. There is no need to drag along shampoo, conditioner, body wash, or lotion. They provide that for you. They use Zero products. I love these products and best of all, they are cruelty free!!! They do have a hairdryer. They also have an ironing board and iron. ||The lobby is warm and inviting. They have a corner to relax and watch TV. They have an exercise room. They also have a pool and hot tub. We took advantage of that. They have a vending room with ice and machines. They also have plenty of travel information. The vending machines are cash only, though. They do have several luggage carts. They are also pup friendly. Though we left our baby with his uncle and cousins. Plenty of free parking. ||They have a free breakfast. There are plenty of tables and bars to dine at. Cartoons are playing to keep little ones happy. They have cereal, bread, fruit, yogurt, muffins, juice, coffee, and a very nice selection of tea. On the hot bar, they have eggs, meat, oatmeal, and waffles. They do have toppings for your oatmeal or waffles. I also truly appreciated all the patriotic decorations. ||The hotel is quietly tucked just off the I 20 corridor that will lead you to Marion and Spruce Pines. There are plenty of attractions less than 30 minutes away. ||I truly can not recommend a hotel more than this one. You will thank you for this...
Read moreI stayed at the Hampton Inn in Marion North Carolina. Overall, I had a great experience with the super friendly staff, great amenities, and clean and modern rooms. The property is a short 37 minutes east of Asheville NC, where I was participating in the Laugh Your Asheville Off Comedy Festival. I arrived at 2:37am friday, after an all day affair of travel delays and festival activities. Kaytlin, at the front desk, greeted me with a friendly welcome, had my key ready, and got me checked in quickly. My room was clean, modern, air cooled, and well lit. I really appreciated that the light was on after my busy day of travel. It removed the worry of fumbling around a dark, unknown space, trying to find a light switch. Many thanks to Becky, who tended to my room via the "Squeaky Clean" card. Once I settled in, I immediately employed the oversized mini fridge with groceries bought from the Super Walmart 6 minutes away. I flipped through channels and submerged myself in my soft, comfy king sized bed.
I woke up to a Hot & Fresh breakfast, which is included with my stay. The eggs and potatoes were on par with a nice diner. Also, as an added bonus, the breakfast menu varied Friday and Saturday. Later, I worked out in the fitness center, which included machines, a weight bench, a exercise ball, and dumbbells. Cudos to you Hampton, I was able to work up a sweat and get the same quality workout I get at my home gym. Another cool addition, my bill that was slipped under my door included a letter from the GM Rich with his contact information to ensure my stay was satisfactory. Overall, my stay was excellent. I appreciated all the included amenities although I only used a few. Also, I enjoyed the added personal touches items and the great staff that made me feel valued. You definitely have my business next time I'm...

Back in Oct my family an I were going to be staying here and once we arrived the hotel was under construction an the pool an all other amenities were closed so that wasn't going to work for us as we had kids that needed things to do so we did not end up staying here and started the refund process an received a refund with a couple weeks and fast forward to today 4.5 months later they decide their going to reverse the refund an take that money back and threatened to sue me when I called to have them correct their problem. So now they are getting sued an myself and my very large family will let all of our friends and connections know how crooked this company is and I won't stop until they are held accountable even if I have to organize a protest daily and block their drive so they can't accommodate ( peacefully of course) .
