Hotel tour: Hampton inn, Somerset Kentucky. My first Hilton!
This is the hotel with the highest rating in the town 4.6 stars on google reviews! The highest in the city. And man, this hotel deserved it. The hotel was very clean, it smelled very nice, and so many other things. I only have a couple complaints, so I’ll go over them first.
1. the elevator has a crappy mod. This is the least concerning problem when it comes to staying at a hotel, the elevator runs fine and it really isn’t that big of a deal
2. The pool is outdoor. The only real downside of an outdoor pool is not being able to swim in winter. But the pool area looks very well maintained and when it’s summer time I’d like to come back and swim in it.
3. There weren’t super healthy breakfast items, that’s not that big of a deal especially if you’re there for one night. Plus, the breakfast is really tasty. I think the main breakfast at Hampton is centered around waffles.
4. The lack of vending. This is an actual complaint, we didn’t have any problems with it, but if someone wanted a snack or drink and didn’t want to go all the way to the front desk, they couldn’t because there aren’t any vending machines.
5. The only unclean part of our room was beside of the toilet, my mom said there were some finger prints, but I didn’t notice. So it must have been very small.
Now I’m going to talk about some things that I think this hotel did very well with. This is small things, but very nice things that I definitely enjoy.
1. Free cookies at the front desk. When I saw this, I about lost my mind. I love cookies and they had some very delicious cookies. The only other hotel that I’ve seen do this is the inn at Christmas place in pigeon forge
2. The lobby bathrooms were exceptionally clean. And smelled very nice. Not to mention, my mom said there were free feminine products in the woman’s restroom.
3. The staff was VERY friendly. When I was getting my breakfast, two people checked in on me. Not to mention, the lady at the front desk was kind and gave me extra cookies.
4. The free soap in the room was very very nice. It smelled really good. It also didn’t feel cheap or gross, just like genuine quality.
5. The trash liners, I haven’t seen these ever at a Marriott property. Usually at a Marriott, I have to awkwardly put crap into the garbage can without a liner. It ends up making a mess if you eat a meal in your room.
6. The real plants. I thought the plants in the lobbies were gonna be fake. But no, these were real plants. Very cool.
So, what do i give this hotel out of thirty?
Let’s look at the categories first;
Cleanliness: 9/10, very nice and clean with only a few little crevices dirty.
Comfort and other commodities : 10/10. I was very comfortable staying at this hotel. It feels very inviting with the nice decorations and comfortable furniture. I also love that the colors weren’t just shades of blue, black, gray, and white. They actually had some comfortable colors. Just a very nice cozy hotel. The food was very good. Not boring breakfast stuff, nothing look unappetizing, and staff was very nice. The soap was high quality, and it smelled nice.
Price: 8/10 the price was a little steep at 137$/night. Not too horrible, and at similar pricing for other hotels near by.
After doing a little bit of calculations, the Hampton is the second cheapest of the big four hotels in Sommerset. While the most expensive is the residence inn. The cheapest is the comfort inn, however. Definitely very good quality for the price.
This hotel gets a 27/30, a very good rating I’d say. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Somerset. The highlights of this hotel, are clean, comfortable, and convenient. So, yeah. Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed this review and tour. Stay tuned for more hotel tours and reviews.

    KONE is doing the mod (with the MAD BS Moon fixtures). It’s very rare for KONEs to have MAD fixtures. Plus it also has the blue indicators.

    They weren’t rough when I filmed one of these 6 months ago. I luckily went in an original car. What they also did in this hotel was replace the Montgomery G&P escalator set with another set of stairs. Did the parking elevator get modded yet? Diagonally across the street from this hotel is The Square shopping area with 2 escalators and 2 elevators (one scenic and internal). Right across the street from the Hyatt Regency and Rupp Arena (both connected) is an entertainment center with restaurant areas, bowling, arcades and movie theater; they have modded Otis parking elevators, KONE KSS 140 that accesses the movie theater and long lighted KONE Transit Master 210 escalators that access the same area. You should check all of that out.
