Hampton Inn Gainesville-Haymarket

I stayed here for three nights while on business. This is overall a good location, with just a couple exceptions.
Starting off with the good parts: The rooms are incredibly clean and well maintained. They have a pretty good complementary breakfast available with excellent variety. The staff here are incredibly friendly and even watched my luggage for a day after check-​out because of my transportation situation. They have coffee available all day, so I can get my fix at any time.
The only negatives: First, the bed itself is firm for my tastes. I can’t totally blame the hotel though as this isn’t a luxury property. The other issue is one that most others have mentioned: the noise, particularly trains. It’s not awful, and they have done their best, but that combined with highway noise could be an issue for some.
The hotel is adjacent to a shopping center, and there are plenty of dining options in the immediate area. I can see why my company continues to use this location for business purposes.

I used the Hampton Inn in Gainesville for our wedding block and they were fantastic to work with! Our block was constantly expanding and they always got back to me in a timely manner. They also were very accommodating once we arrived for the wedding as well! All of the employees were friendly to all of our guests and worked through logistics with the wedding party needing to change rooms with ease. Highly recommend if you’re booking a wedding block! It is also convenient to a lot of shops and restaurants, which was great to keep our guests entertained.

We used this location for our primary wedding block and had a great experience. They have a huge suite that the bridal party got ready in. The train is loud but I didn’t mind it.

My family booked a room here for 5 days months ago. Last night when they checked in they were informed they would have to change rooms 3 different times in the course of 5 days. They have 3 young children (7, 3, and 1) and Hampton inn is not being courteous to their reservation at all. They even requested a room with a bath tub (remember…3 small kids!!) and were given a handicapped room without a tub. Also, one of the rooms they are supposed to switch to is going to be a king bed. With 2 adults and 3 small kids. Absolutely ridiculous. Don’t spend your money here if you want to be treated with courtesy and respect. Or if you want them to be accommodating.
So ridiculous because they booked this hotel stay (for a standard room) back in March.

Morning and evening commute to DC locations are very long. Train noise from any where in the hotel. Plenty of shopping near by. Many types of chain restaurants nearby as well. 1.0 mb free Internet speed is pretty lame.

The location is not ideal. Not convenient to DC and next to train. My biggest complaint has to be the cleanliness of the room we were initially assigned to. I noticed a couple of strands of hair on the bedding but assumed it was my daughter’s; however, when I pulled back the covers and moved the pillows, there were more. That’s when I realized it wasn’t my daughters’s and that the bedding was dirty. We had a five hour flight from LA and moving rooms was not at the top of my list of things to do at 8pm with two young kids. The manager, Joy, was apologetic but it shouldn’t have happened in the first place. This was unacceptable. I recently registered to be a Hilton honors member but considering this incident, I don’t know how often I will stay at a Hilton hotel again. The staff was nice but had I not inspected the bed and saw all the other strands of hairs under the covers, my kids would have been rolling around and sleeping in a bed that was dirty and had someone else’ hairs on it. Just that thought gives my the goosebumps.

This Hampton Inn is by far the best one I have ever been to. I tend to be a fan of the Hampton Inn in general because I know I’m going to get a clean and comfortable room after a very long day, but this one definitely goes above and beyond the greatness that I normally experience with them. First of all, it’s in a fantastic location; there are a ton of stores and places to eat in the area. If it hadn’t been absolutely freezing when we were there, I’m sure we could have walked to pretty much everything without even the slightest bit of an issue. You can easily check-​in and then walk right to dinner and a movie (and then back again!).
The rate per night here is definitely a bit high, but so was everything else in the area. However, at least with this place you most definitely get your money’s worth. The employees at the front desk were all incredibly nice, and the free breakfast in the morning was fantastic. This Hampton Inn even goes above and beyond with the free toiletries! Along with the normal shampoo/​conditioner/​soap, they also include two sets of ear plugs, two shower caps, and some make-​up remover wipes so that you can be as comfortable as possible when you drift off to sleep for the night. I would most definitely stay here again if I ever found myself in the area. I just really do wish it didn’t cost so much money to do so.

I stay at this hotel approximately 2 – 3 times a year for work. This past stay was for 10 days. I absolutely love my time here. The staff is awesome, the rooms are clean, breakfast, Wifi, gym, pool, laundry and those 6pm cookies! You do hear the train, it doesn’t shake the hotel, it’s never once woken me up from sleeping. The hotel is close to shops and restaurants. Really, I always enjoy my time here. Did I mention the 6pm cookies? The staff never gave me a weird look if I went for seconds, in fact they always encouraged it! I will be back again in a few months! Thank you to the staff for such a great stay!

This Hampton Inn is very clean, modern, and the staff is about as nice as humanly possible.
After reading some of the reviews, I was a little nervous about the trains; I’m not a light sleeper, but I never know how fully I am going to sleep in a hotel room…
But it was fine. Actually the lady at the front desk offered ear plugs, and they had a set in the room, so I am content that they do everything in their power to make their guests cozy.
Since the hotel is located in a fun area in Gainesville – right in the heart of the VA Gateway shopping promenade – if you are looking for something to do in the area, there is plenty. They also offered breakfast, a nice gym and a business area, although due to the nature of my stay, I didn’t use any of these services.
I would absolutely stay here again if I need a hotel in the area.

Everything you need for a place to stay when you’re on a road trip. Clean — yes, comfortable bed– yes, places to eat — plenty, shopping– all kinds, plus free breakfast. One minus: train tracks nearby, and you WILL hear the train. I was so tired I didn’t care. Not particularly convenient to Washington, DC. Ok of you’re only visiting the Manassas battlefield. Worked well for what I needed.

I recently stayed here for a 3 days. I can echo the other comments regarding the cleanliness of the hotel. It was spotless and the breakfast was awesome.
Now for the train…
I stayed in a room that was really close to the tracks. It was not bad at all. We could barely hear it. It didn’t vibrate the walls or anything and I didn’t wake up once during the 3 nights we were there. The hotel has earplugs in each room if needed. Obviously, the train will be bothersome to some that are light sleepers but I found it to be pretty nonexistent.
Would definitely stay there again. Clean, good breakfast, and close to tons of restaurants.

The staff was very nice and the facility was clean and in good condition. I am rating this 1 star due to the location. The hotel is located directly next to the railroad tracks. Trains came through at 2am, 6am, 7 am, and 7:30am, the train operator blew the horn and the entire building shook. There is no way anyone can get any sleep at this hotel.

I was very happy with my stay here for 3 nights. The staff were very pleasant. The room was updated and clean. I love their comforters and I wanted to steal it. The pool was clean and pleasant to swim in. The breakfast was pretty good for a free breakfast. I would stay here again.
We were warned about the loud train adjacent to the building and were given ear plugs. I only heard it around 7pm. It never bothered my sleep.

I used the hall/​banquet room for a birthday party. The staff was beyond helpful considering this was the first party I had done at such an establishment. They lay out all my options and assisted me every step of the way towards having the perfect birthday party! From beginning to end, they were amazing!
The price was very fair. They were honest and truly tried to help me save money wherever they could; especially providing me with the senior discount for 2 rooms which I had forgotten all about.
The hotel is in an outstanding location as well. Literally walking distance to many shops and restaurants!
HIGHLY recommended for partys and for needing a room to stay! Truly exceptional!

We stayed here for a concert at Jiffy Lube Live. The concert was amazing, the hotel was PERFECT. The bed was super comfy, room was clean and spacious, hotel staff was super nice and accomodating. I would for sure stay here again. Only 1 miles to Jiffy Lube!

Stopped here for a night on our way to Bristol. All staff was friendly. Breakfast hot and tasty– sausage and gravy, breakfast bagel pizzas, waffles, etc. Room clean and comfortable. WiFi average speed. Only complaints are a slight odor in the hallway (not an issue in room or other parts of hotel) and peeling paint on back of bathroom door. Otherwise I fine place.

Good location for what’s around it bad because of the train. Newer place everything up to date. Good breakfast.

Nice hotel. However the train horn noise is awful. The tracks are 50 ft away. Find somewhere else to stay.

Would like to give a better review, but just spent a week there and got almost no sleep at all. FIrst, the hotel is built about 20 feet from a very active railroad. Every 2 hrs trains go by at 40 mph, blasting their horms for the nearby crossing. My 3 yr old thought it was cool, but it drove me crazy after 3 days of sleeping only 2 hrs at a time.
Second, there is an open-​air shopping center 100 ft away. They have outdoor speakers that blast the worst jazz music all night. I first thought it was in a nearby room, but when I left the hotel at 0445 the last day, I realized the music was coming from the mall. The hotel said they’ve asked the mall to shut it down, but they still play it.
I will say that the hotel is spotless and the breakfast is good. The one business center computer has issues. Pool is clean and not too chlorinated. Parking is free. Convenient to the loud-​as-​hades mall across the parking lot.

I’m not sure what would bring you out to Gainesville, but for me it was work, and this is where I stayed.
$ 150/​night, very pricey considering I was 23 miles from DC, which equates to about an hour, but I wasn’t paying. The hotel is very new and really nice. They even had toothpaste unlike the last Hampton I stayed at. Hampton does great free breakfasts in the morning too. I had to stay at one once for 3 weeks, and they changed it up every day.
