Hampton Inn Waynesboro/Stuarts Draft

Great Clean space They are renovating it and the new areas are so nice and clean! We got a renovated room and it was amazing. Clean comfy bed and new shower new flooring no carpet which I love. My only complaint is that the AC is loud but if you have white noise or earplugs the hallways are quiet and all. I would def sleep there again on a long drive as my Pit stop.

Tired Hotel I was disappointed with my stay as it was not up to the standard I expect from a Hampton Inn. To sum up the hotel, there are 2 areas which detracted from my stay: 1) Tired and worn out state of the facility. Let me state first that this hotel is undergoing a much needed remodel and I did not stay in a remodeled room. Starting with the positives, the beds and pillows were clean and up to standard. However, the furniture (desks, dressers, etc) were riddled with dings, dents and scratches. There were stains on the floor and the tub was stained. I also noticed some mold in the shower area. The gym was small with 3 (old) pieces of equipment, only 2 of which worked. Hopefully, this portion of the review will be outdated in the next few months when the renovation is complete. 2) Lack of attention to details. The major surfaces of my room were clean, however, some of the harder to clean flat surfaces/edges of the dresser, tile backsplash in the bath room etc were very dusty. When I checked in, I walked by the breakfast area and there was a very strong smell of bananas as there were very ripe (like mostly black) still in the fruit basket. The breakfast was OK the next morning. I don't like runny oatmeal, but the oatmeal was almost like concrete and I had to pass on it.

Cold Indoor Pool Water You need to be a polar bear club member to enjoy the indoor pool. Ice cold water with very humid air temperature. Front desk staff indicated the pool is not heated. We have stayed here several times over the years with no pool water temperature issues. Also, the marker board in the pool area had not been updated with chlorine level testing results for some reason. This is a public safety issue that should be addressed by management immediately. Desk staff did not seem very interested in addressing my concerns. Very disappointing as we specifically decided to stay here because of the pool and great location. Management needs to be proactive in addressing the pool issue as many folks enjoy a swim after a long day on the road.

No need to try other places Great place we stayed at enroute to nearby Blue Ridge Parkway. Next exit east has a lot of restaurants. We chose an almost new Golden Corral which was excellent. In terms of the motel there is a small indoor pool and exercise room. Breakfast from 6am to 10am. No closet in the room. Quiet place.

A bit of a Homely Feel Our bedroom was huge. The furniture was worn, but serviceable. The air conditioner was noisy and the annoying, noisy bathroom fan was permanently on. Breakfast was good; they did have ToGo bags which I haven’t seen at other Hamptons since before Covid. Quiet, but friendly Manager Tom Miller checked us out. The rate was very high, but it may have been due to area graduations that weekend.
