Hampton Inn

The Hampton Inn in Clinton NJ is a very nice property. The staff was friendly and helpful. The place was very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast, and comfortable beds. I had a good night sleep. Outdoor swimming pool
If you driving to the NYC time square. The hotel property is about an hour and half drive to the city. I would recommend this hotel.

Pretty normal for a Hampton. Clean, quiet and a good place for toast. The bed is comfortable and the room was clean. The area had several great restaurants and the shuttle service to the port is excellent.

This place is awesome!
Very clean. Very friendly. Very accommodating. My dog’s 1^st time in a Inn and he loved it as well. Room is perfect for the dog and I. Swimming pool is great! We love it here!
The breakfast selection is pretty decent. The sofa bed is a plus!

This place is great, they keep their high standards and everything is clean. You don’t find other hotels like this one anymore.

Pretty normal for a Hampton. Clean, quiet and a good place for toast. It is located in a nice area. We were exhausted, so we walked to the Cracker Barrel. The pool is outside.
The wifi was free for Hilton honors. Overall, it was a good place for a stay in Clinton.

Staying here for 7 days and already problems on our second day. Yesterday, housekeeping came and cleaned our room, but failed to change our sheets. Today we left the room at 10:30 and came back at 4 and no one was in our room to clean at all, plus when I went downstairs, I was told that housekeeping already left. So I’m sitting in a dirty room with dirty unmade beds and no clean towels. The desk said they would send the maintenance person to clean. Still waiting. Finally arrived. Isaac did come in and change sheets and brought clean towels. A very nice young man whom was very apologetic, even though it wasn’t his fault.

I just spent Memorial Day weekend at this hotel and I don’t have one complaint so my rating reflects that. Some people are acknowledging this is a mid range hotel and then dinging their rating because it’s «not luxurious». You get what you pay for and I have paid a lot more for a lot less than this hotel.
I was in the area for a baseball tournament at Diamond Nation which is about fifteen minutes away. We checked in on Saturday afternoon, and had a painless experience. I had my dog with me which wasn’t a problem because they are pet friendly. As soon as I walked into the the room I was pleasantly surprised, it was clean and new looking. Breakfast in the morning is good enough considering it’s complimentary. The grounds are well kept, and although I didn’t use the pool, it looked clean and well maintained.
Pros:
Good location, close to the highway
Reasonable prices for the quality of the hotel
Pet friendly
Nice staff
Clean rooms
Complimentary breakfast
No cons, because I had reasonable expectations about what I was booking, and this hotel met them.

Not many Hamptons on this side of NYC — and it was only 20 000 points. So gave it a go. Worked out well. Clean rooms and friendly front desk.

Got good value, great service (before & after) arrival. Clean. Quiet. Near highways and access to shopping.
Works for me.

This place is nice! This is the first Hampton Inn I’ve stayed at that looks this nice on the inside. The lobby is new and fresh and I can do my work at the big table with outlets.
The rooms are even nicer. Last time I stayed at this hotel was a couple of years ago and it’s clear that they completely upgraded the hotel to make it look brand new and modern.
The staff was so friendly and caring and asked me if I needed anything. The breakfast was excellent and I like Hampton’s new breakfast selection.
I stay at hotels all the time and this place feels like home because of the staff. There’s also a hiking trail behind the hotel which I like to walk along every morning before I head out for the day. There’s a creek that runs along the trail and it takes you into the quaint little downtown area that seems very historic.
Try the chinese takeout place in the walmart plaza above the hotel. You will not be disappointed. I also like to get dinner from the Cracker Barrel next door when it’s cold like today.

Really liked this place. Arrived late, left early but still feel like we got a good deal. Price reasonable for the location. Clean. Included breakfast and free coffee. Jamie at the desk very hospitable. Quick swap of pillows for my feather free nose.

Where do I begin?
After calling a month ahead to set reservations, we arrived early to find that they never booked it.
The day after we checked in, we had to change rooms because ours was infested with fleas.
The next morning we were rudely awoken by a carbon monoxide detector alarm. The cleaning ladies said it was from the drier.
The next morning, we were again woken up by the alarm – this time with no explanation.
Last night, the alarm went off just before one in the morning. And it went off again this morning at about six.
There have been no explanations or apologies for these instances.
Never mind the lack of designated smoking areas (which would eliminate the poolside air contamination). Never mind the fact that the cleaning ladies left our room open after cleaning – basically allowing anyone who pleased to enter. Never mind that the lobby smells like urine or that there is an over abundance of moisture in the room because of poor quality AC systems (and this is coming from a visitor from Hawaii). And never mind the coffee grinds which they just constantly pour water over instead of making fresh coffee.
This hotel is absolutely horrible in just about every aspect and you couldn’t pay me to stay again.

Pulled off highway at 11 pm to get a room on 8÷8÷14. Walked in and was greeted at front desk by a young women wearing a Beavus and Butt Head t-​shirt that was several sizes too small. (sooooo unprofessional). She asked for all of my personal information and expected me to verbalize it back to her. I just handed her my drivers license so the other people in line wouldn’t know my full name, address, etc. Then when we tried to get into our room we were having trouble with the key. After trying to get the key to work for a few seconds, a drowsy young man answered the door and informed us it was his room. Went back to front desk and waited while another customer gave front desk all of his personal info out loud. We decided to cancel our room reservation and drove down the road to Holiday Inn. HUGE difference in professionalism, quality of service and accommodation. Plus it was cheaper at Holiday Inn.

Well, we arrived quite late and were just excited to get into a room to rest. The first room we were assigned was apparently next to a pot smoker. Our room reeked of pot and they not only reassigned our room, they comped us a free night because of the disturbance. They sent someone up to our original room to check up on is. David was our front desk help and handled our situation great. We may or may not stay at this exact hotel again because of the location. But we are happy with the Hilton line after our wedding at a DoubleTree last October.

No room when got to hotel, we had booked two double bed but had to give us a king with a pull out and gave us a roll away. AC didn’t work but wasn’t to hot so didn’t complain as was so late we just wanted to sleep. Free breakfast and it was great. Gave us room for free since we had to wait an hour at midnight at check in deck to try find us a room. Manager David next morning was more than friendly. Will go back again and give them second chance and will update on here. For now 3 star as waited so long for room and AC. Clearly mix of great workers and hopeless workers.

I was appalled by the terrible customer service by senior management at this location. We tried to reserve a block of rooms for our wedding and found the GM to be 100 percent non-​responsive. I reserved the block of rooms and asked several questions that needed to be looked into by management regarding certain arrangements for our guests. The GM repeatedly missed deadlines and was completely non-​responsive. Often I was asked the exact same questions and had to keep on giving basic information (like my wedding date) because it was clear they were mixing me up with other people and not properly recording information I was giving them. Every time a deadline was missed or a mistake was made I was given a disingenuous excuse, like the GM was sick (as if no one else could have been making the inquiries required) or some unnamed subordinate had messed up the information in an email sent to me (even though it came directly from the GM). At one point I called and spoke to someone else and was told my block wasn’t even reserved in the computer! And it was clear to me from speaking to one employee that other customers have complained about the same problem. After one month of this we gave up and went to another location. We simply could not trust management to properly handle our needs for our wedding weekend (which were not even complicated or out of the ordinary). In fact, the things we were asking from them the GM had told us were routine and could be handled easily. Oh, and I never heard back from them (and this is now 5 months later) on any of my concerns or to even confirm if we were still interested in having the block for our guests! Truly outrageous considering we were trying to plan a wedding and were supposed to be relying on them. The lack of consideration was absolutely shocking and I strongly recommend that anyone interested in reserving a block of rooms here or planning an event here think otherwise. It is clear this place is incredibly disorganized. The GM seemed very nice when we met with her in ¹¹⁄₁₃ but after that, we found that dealing with her and her staff was incredibly frustrating.

All, this is a Hampton Inn, Hilton’s entry level property. So, you should not expect the royal treatment or very classy rooms.
This is a basic hotel with a few niceties. First, they are very friendly and concerned that you enjoy your stay. It felt a little contrived, but they called my room each day to make sure I was getting everything I needed. They let you know when you check in they have a «100% guarantee». (I’m not really sure what that means.) They have a free breakfast. While this is nice, it was worth about what they charged for it. But, it was nice to be able to sit in the lobby to work while having a cup of coffee and what must have a been a poor excuse for a bagel. Unfortunately, they had three or four TVs in the room all blaring Fox news. It’s not that I dislike Fox, but there could have been some options.
The room was fairly small, but I really didn’t spend much time in it anyway. It looked clean, but there was a musty smell that was disconcerting.
But, in Clinton, NJ, there are not a lot of hotel options. I’ve stayed at the Holiday Inn before in Clinton, and the Hampton Inn wins hands down.

The last time I was here the place was getting a new floor and it was a mess! This time I was expecting a better stay and was very pleasantly surprised at the upgrades and lovely décor of the lobby.
This unexpected improvement carried into the room. Are all Hampton Inns upgrading or just this one?
This Inn hits all the markers: coffee maker, hair dryer, iron, microwave, fridge, complimentary internet and breakfast and great air/​heat. Heck, I even caught the Grand Finale to Dexter on Showtime! What’s not to love?

I’d say this is average in quality. I couldn’t tell that the place was renovated? Nothing looked modern to me. The ad said there are microwaves and fridges in each room but mine had neither. We didn’t need them though, but good to note not every room has them. I was on a non-​smoking section but you could still smell smoke in the hall. Not in the room. The room itself was fine but didn’t look new or anything. We were in an end corner unit with windows on two sides. The bed was comfortable and there were lots of toiletries. The room was clean.
The breakfast in the morning was good. There was a variety of pastries, cereals, oatmeals and bread products. There was a selection of fruit too. I was very satisfied. There was even a make-​your-​own-​waffle stand with easy instructions.
The front desk was very nice. The big thrill for me is that I got a coupon to stay there for $ 70. I was pleased with my stay for what it was worth. We came up here one night to attend a bat mitzvah the next day.

Our three night stay started off on a high note when we arrived early evening last Sunday and were greeted by the professional, friendly. efficient and (dare I say it?) adorable George at the front desk. The highest compliment we can pay an employee is they work like they own the business and so it was /​is with George. They should give him a raise!
The day time staff have been equally friendly and efficent. Two small problems with the room were taken care of immediately and without any inconvenience to us thanks to them.
Staff highlights shared above, as for the property it is a few years old but aging gracefully thanks to what seems to be care paid to maintenance. Very clean and in good repair from the small lobby through guest rooms to guest facilities, like the laundry room. Beds and pillows are ultra comfy. Bathrooms well appointed. Everything is quiet for a good nighr’s sleep. Also accessibility is good in general at this property if you’re paying attention to that important element.
True to the Hampton branding, there is a free breakfast each morniing including fruit, yogurt, cereal, hot food like scrambled eggs, toast, muffins and juice.
Conveniently located with easy access to routes 31 and 78 and close to charming downtown Clinton with a few shops and restaurants.
Bottom line is we’d gladly stay here again.

Good clean Hampton Inn. Good location right off I78 next to a Strip mall with a Walmart anchor store. Minutes form Clinton downtown. Outdoor swimming poor & usual free breakfast & plenty of Free USA today each day.
