"Traveling through the area and needed a place to rewind. This Hampton was overall a great experience. Although likely offseason with the nearby national park, this room was quiet from both neighbors and outside Walmart. The breakfast was okay, it was free; the nearby food options do offer some better food options if you're up for it. Great place to stay - would recommend."
