Hampton Inn downtown/Market square bears its years and certainly could do with some maintenance, refurbishment, and facelift, but overall, I believe everything sits on the bearable side of the balance. The pros, certainly its location, within –considerable– walking distance from downtown and all its attractions and businesses; price, which can skyrocket disproportionately when the town gets busy, but when booked in anticipation saves you quite some money; and staff (but housekeeping), who –I believe– are well aware of the property’s deficiencies and still try to make the best with what they have. Though I read reviews highlighting this hotel’s bad surroundings, I did not see homelessness nor felt insecure; I even did some late food runs to the HEB without any worry. The cons, of course, the building itself. It’s hard to hide –and list– all the imperfections you’ll encounter throughout your stay, however, keep in mind that worn out does not mean filthy. Carpets are dingy, furniture has seen better days, the in-room fridge buzzed annoyingly through the night, and the shower hanger was broken, making showering a bit of a challenge. When it comes to style and charm, well, let’s better not walk down that path. Regarding housekeeping, it was strangely “fortunate” that they knocked at my door 5 minutes after my arriving to the room regardless of the time in the afternoon, forcing me to request them to come back later, which of course, they did not do. The neutrals, sometimes left off of the reviews but this time worth mentioning, were the bed, comfortable; the linens and pillows, beyond decent; the gym, clean and well taken care of; the parking, which was 10USD/night but, because of the location and the fully booked dates, thought would be more expensive; and noise insulation, which helped me with a good night’s sleep even with a thunderstorm going on through the night.
