Hampton Inn Wichita Falls Sikes Senter Mall

Everyting perfect, even more than other similar Hamptons I stopped in to this place on a lark, finding myself needing a place to stay without planning. The Hampton brand over the decades has sort of taken the place of the roadside HI I remember so well as a kid. They are more likely to adhere to company standards from one property to the next, and it’s certainly appreciated. I spent $50 more than I normally would on a stay like this solely because I knew what I was going to get. My sleeping room was in Hilton condition. I’m rather picky, and not a bit shy about pointing out things that shouldn’t happen with both hospitality and food service businesses. This one was lacking absolutely nothing. The only criticism I find for the property was the party checking me in didn’t know if there were microwaves in the room. I was looking in their pantry and found frozen foods, and there was nothing obviously available to thaw them with. I did find a microwave in the room later, but it just seems that those persons running the property should know what kind of facilities they have to offer. That’s a very minor thing, and if I were doing the hiring I’d only require that employee have some more training. Their breakfast was head and shoulders better than most other hamptons, and most other brands. I this lifetime of several decades I’ve never heard of a chocolate waffle, but they were very good. They didn’t offer a microwave in the breakfast area, which would be appreciated because waffles are much better if one can melt the butter before applying it. That’s just another casual observation, intended only to be constructive cricism because there was absolutely NOHTING wrong with what they already have. This date they had scrambled eggs and sausage and home fries. I avoid cheese in any recipe because 95% of what ones find is an oil product rather than cheese, and just adds more un-healthy to those little pre-made omelets which are quite common in the business. Of course their egg product this date was that stuff which comes in a bag, but it was properly prepared. I only wish it was a little bit warmer, or offered me a microwave to add some heat to it myslelf. In summary I have to give these folks an excellent rating and I’d recommend the place to any guest looking in that price class. They really do care what they have to offer, and somebody is not afraid to put some money into keeping standards high. If I find myself in that area again, it’s very likely I would choose them, and I would certainly encourage anyone shopping to pick this place. I know myself as being old, cranky, and picky, and it’s such a refreshing thing to find a place like this doing it right. I passionately love writing reviews like this, because I don’t get very many opportunities. My Hhonors points are another big calling card leading me in there.
