Hampton Inn by Hilton Bowling Green

Not the top notch quality we are used to seeing. hallway was under construction/sheet rock—no sign explaining or excuse “our mess”. Construction dust on carpet along walls. Bathroom was very small, short toilet, no vent, wallpaper coming off the walls, seemed to have mold in the tub and shower area and starting to peel off. Not our usual experience with Hampton Inn.

It is a scum pit in my opinion. Would not recommend anyone stay there. In dire need of maintence and updating and cleaning. Carpets were gross. TVs weren’t working. Breakfast was a huge disappointment compared to every other Hampton inn I’ve stayed in

Hotel has not been updated in years. Needs major repairs. I couldn’t shower during my stay 12/5/2024 because the tub wouldn’t drain. I had stayed there years ago when things worked. It bears the same decor and the feel is grimy. The desk clerk just said it’s a pity the Hilton corporation won’t make the repairs and offered me points for a future stay. Why would I come back? The coffee was awful too.

One word of advice - Stay away from this one!! This is an old and shabby Hampton clearly showing its age. We were never told that it was having extensive remodeling work done or else we would have gone elsewhere! We arrived and it was 91 degrees and yet the pool was closed and covered. No mention of that. No mention of the dust and filth caused by said remodeling. Which is throughout this hovel. Walked I. And the room was extremely hot and smelled awful. A definite decidedly moldy order. We checked the filets which were in tatters as shown which were very reflective of this place’s general state. I have COPD and asthma. As an elderly person I would have appreciated Information on this construction prior to visiting. This was my third Hilton property visit in the previous 10 days of travel and this one was rock bottom. I believe motel 6 would’ve been a better choice any day. And they had a thing plastic draped on the wall where they had breakfast (which was also not worth a visit in these disgusting surroundings) as well as an unsecured power outlet. Unsanitary and most dangerous. Any small child could easily be executed. We said something to the portly unkempt ginger employee at the desk. Just a shrug and this guy was by far the worst Hilton employee ever encountered. Check the photos as these are just a few of the many, many issues with this place. And along with all this plaster dust there was the grime especially on the elevator floor whom is doubtless being tracked into the rooms. Also the tub was so grimy and moldy again se picture we refused to use it. And the floor and mop board were literally falling apart. The remote for the TV didn’t work it did connect to the TV but to operate anything you had to use the button on the TV itself. So much more to be said to condemning this place but the final statement on this place is that they charge for parking. Okay. This place is litter out in nowhere and I have many times paid for secure parking. Not this place. Wide open. No fence or gates. No security. So just why the extra grift here? Made zero sense. I would take a tent any day or sleep in my car over this place. Not a single redeeming quality! Heck the photos which unfortunately you cannot smell, and see if this run down excuse of a place is worth your health, safety and dollars. I say not!

We needed to stop traveling for the day and generally find Hampton Inn to be a solid, affordable choice. The room was good, and I really liked that the AC had an option to keep the fan moving. Hotel rooms get stuffy in between air (or heat) cycles typically and that, plus the sudden on and off sounds, tend to wake me up. It was nice to keep airflow and also have the constant white noise. I wish the bathroom had a nightlight feature though. Breakfast was mostly good. Only one waffle maker, so I had to wait awhile. The omelet was good but sausage was wet/weird and hubby’s potatoes were cold. Earl Grey tea was a great option as always!
