Hampton Inn & Suites New Braunfels

“Enjoyed this hotel—except for the breakfast!!”

The hotel was very pleasant and clean. The staff were very helpful snd courteous. The bed was fabulous!! It was like sleeping on a cloud. I felt as snug as a bug in a rug. The free breakfast, however, was not very good. Tasteless and bland!! Not good!!

“Will not stay here again.”

Hampton Inns used to offer dependable quality. Now, they seem to vary greatly and the location in New Braunfels is a weak link. There was nothing terrible, it was just a bunch of things.

Hampton Inns used to offer dependable quality. Now, they seem to vary greatly and the location in New Braunfels is a weak link. There was nothing terrible, it was just a bunch of things. There was a ceiling leak in the area where the ice machine was and the moldy ceiling indicated it was an ongoing problem. Breakfast was skimpy with no fridge for cold foods (they were in a bowl), no peanut butter, watery "orange juice." When we got there, the breakfast staff lined up to make their own waffles so we gave up waiting and ate something else. (I have never seen staff eating during guest breakfast hours.) The tile in the bathroom was raised so you could not close the door. There was an alarm that kept going off in one of the elevators. We stay at Hiltons and Hamptons often, but this one is not up to standard. (The Hilton Garden Inn, about a mile away, is a great alternative.) Our final bill for one night with AAA discount was $180. This hotel was NOT worth that. We do not recommend and will not return.

“It's the Attention to Details That Count”

My family and I stay at Hampton Inn and Suites properties quite often when we travel. The properties are always clean and neat, and mostly up to date. The property in New Braunfels, Texas had a number of "misses". First, the entrance is accessed either by driving through a gas station or a strip center that faces Hwy 46. It is NOT clearly marked, and although we could see the hotel from the road, we made several attempts to enter the parking lot before we found the right way in. Check in was efficient, and it was nice that we had a full housekeeping service each day of our stay. I do appreciate that many hotels have gone to full-size lotions, etc, and that seems to generate less waste, which is a good thing. I really wish that these items were unscented. The hand soap and body lotion available was so highly scented that I didn't want to use it. I'm not usually scent sensitive, but those two lotions were so strong that they were unbearable. Also, there were several facial cleansing bars at the sink, which we opened and used each day, but were picked up and tossed by housekeeping. And, towels were hung to be reused, and they were taken and replaced by housekeeping as well. Seems so wasteful. Bare light bulbs were overhead in the desk area, which seemed both unsightly and a little dangerous. And on our check-out day, housekeeping knocked at our door before 9am when checkout was not even for another couple of hours. We had had a busy day and late night the day before, and didn't appreciate the wake up earlier than planned. Lastly, breakfast options were pretty boring - not up to the Hampton Inn quality that we're used to.
