Hampton Inn Princeton

We decided to spend the night in Princeton on the way to Kentucky. As a Hilton Honors member we stay at quite a few different Hampton Inns during the course of a year. This particular Hampton Inn stands out above most of the others. Their staff is above most others also and deserves special recognition.

NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL! After reading reviews of many hotels in the Beckley/Princeton areas, we chose this Hampton Inn (and it was $40 cheaper per night than many others). We are Hilton Honors members but had looked at multiple hotel brands. While it might be slightly dated in a couple of areas, and none that really mattered, everything else was exceptional! Friendly woman at the desk for our near midnight check-in offering not only waters or soft drinks but a few snack options as well. Room was very clean, including the bathroom. Breakfast the next morning was above the standard Hampton in our opinion. And they had BACON! Every other Hampton we've stayed at (many) always had sausage. Offerings were cheese omelets, potatoes, standard waffles & blueberry waffles, oatmeal & cereal, bagels/toast & a couple pastries. Staff working was friendly and kept everything full & the areas clean. 5 stars for the Hampton Inn Princeton, WV! Thank you!

It seems that Hubby and I stayed here during a previous trip north or south, but there have been so many hotels that it's a blur. Regardless, this was an excellent choice for an overnight stay to break up 22 hours of interstate driving. It's a bit tricky finding the entrance after you exit I-77, but your GPS will get you there. The desk attendant was delightful. Very welcoming, an adept conversationalist, and all-around adorable. She ensured that we had a room on the top floor away from the elevator, which we always request to keep night noise to a minimum. Turns out our room location was a wise choice, because there are gaps under the room doors, so you can clearly hear other guests in the hallway at midnight speaking in normal tones. This was one of only two subpar aspects of our visit. The other was the lack of an exhaust fan in the bathroom. That should be standard equipment. This hotel had some unique features. One whole wall was a closet, camouflaged by curtains. The other feature was the shape of the bathroom vanity - kind of a triangle. The bathroom was small-ish but, because of the unique vanity and the mirror, it felt larger and seemed better able to accomodate all our toiletries and miscellaneous. I loved the three-angle mirror for better viewing of hair and apparel. I also appreciated the full-size tub. I'm not a fan of showering and prefer soaking. Oh, and this hotel gets extra kudos because the staff was thoughtful enough to include a real nightlight in the bathroom. No blinding oneself if you have to use the facilities in the middle of the night. Typical Hampton amenities were provided in our king room - lots of pillows, above-average towels, reading lamps, blackout blinds, adequate counter space at the desk and coffee area, a microwave and mini-refridge, built-in drawers, decent wifi, plentiful electrical outlets, hair dryer, etc. Hubby loved the chaise lounge. I loved the comfy bed. One suggestion for hotel management. Please consider adding some organic (or at least non-GMO) snacks/drinks to your lobby pantry for guests who'd rather not eat poison. And maybe some non-GMO fresh fruit at the breakfast bar. You'd distinguish yourself from 99% of hotels in doing so. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when we're passing through Princeton.

I felt like i was in a hotel 8. Paint chips everywhere . The room was dirty and out dated. Food was cold and the toaster was broken. Coffee maker in the room but no coffee or cups. When we check in at every other Hampton we are offered water, that didnt happen either. Lady at the front didnt seam to care just made excuses for eveything

I’ve stayed in nicer red roofs. Disappointing that the name Hampton no longer assures a quality hotel. Bedding is a mess. Popcorn ceilings, textured walls and 90s tile. Just Old but outside looks good so you don’t know it’s marginal until you pay and go to your room. Will try elsewhere next trip.

We travel from Ohio to Florida and back each year stopping here at the recommendation of good friends. Travelers learn that it is the subtleties that make or break a “good stay”, and we had a great stay here. Gracious and helpful checking in, good mattress, very clean throughout, quiet HVAC, bathroom mirrors that don’t completely fog up even with the door closed, great breakfast on leaving. We will return!

I stayed at the hotel for one night while traveling through the area for work. The staff I encountered were very friendly and offered up water or snacks for being a Hilton Honors member, which some properties don’t do anymore. The hotel is in a good location, close to the highway and many restaurants. The room itself was good size and had everything I needed for one night. The furniture was well worn and could use updating for sure. Overall, the room was fairly clean but could use some additional dusting and some deep cleaning for sure. I would probably stay here again but some updating and a little deeper cleaning would push the hotel to being a five star property.

I had a great experience during my stay. Not only was it refreshing to actually have a clean hotel room when I arrived, I accidentally left my iPad in the room when I checked out and the housekeeper turned it in and it was shipped back to me. I am so grateful for honest and kind people, they are hard to come by these days.

Spent two days at this hotel both days got up to breakfast, and the breakfast buffet was literally empty. Not that it was that substantial anyway. If you think about a very small glass dish about 16 inches long that you can put three compartments in and that’s what they served the eggs, potatoes and sausage one day and ham. The next day both days I came down there and it was empty. The batter for the waffles was empty and one time the oatmeal was not there either and when they brought it out, you had the microwave it a few times because it wasn’t cooked. The day that I checked out was the second day found out what the problem is the girl who is running the breakfast spends all of our time outside talking on the phone the first day I was there I passed her as I was coming down the stairs, she was going outside with her phone in hand. Keep in mind the first day there was nothing on the bar. As a diamond with Hilton, I come to expect a little bit more and if the manager at this property had half a brain, he or she would figure out the last thing that a customer sees when they’re at the hotel if they’re only spending one night is when they get up early in the morning for breakfast and then they see how much a zoo and how empty it is. I checked out and just went to a hotel down the street that was not out of the Hilton family. I’m writing this review and I intend on following up with Hilton corporate as I have diamond status with Hilton
