Getting to the hotel was very harried as the property is under construction and especially after a long 11 1/2 hour day on the road. We were not advised of the construction and it made our arrival most difficult. Once we got in the hotel all was excellent, especially our well appointed room.

Parking was fine, got placed on a room on the 1st floor which is also where pets stay. The room smelled of bleach to cover up animal odor and the shower leaks all over the floor. Worst Hampton Inn experience ever!!

Fire alarm went off at 2am. Construction going on in the lobby so we thought that may be the problem. Evacuated the hotel to our vehicle. Checked the front desk to discover staff member hyperventilating into the phone with the fire department. Smoke on the 3rd floor was all I could hear. We spent an hour and a half in our vehicle only to be given the all clear from one of the other guests. No information or communiction from the staff.
