I've stayed here a few times. Your basic Hampton experience (which is not a bad thing). Clean, convenient to the airport, cheap, complimentary breakfast, free in room Internet. A three story building with rooms opening to the outside.

Not an interesting part of town, but not in a bad area. There's a waffle house across the street, along with a Fuddruckers, and a Ruby Tuesday or some other corporate chain about a block away. Close to the University if that's your reason for visiting, but I've mostly used it because its real close to the airport. Head down University until it ends, then a left on Yale and you're there.

Rating:

• Safety: 1 - OK -- not a great part of town, but not much going on there.
  
• Dining: .5 - OK, the breakfast buffet is the normal Hampton perk.
  
• Bar: 0 - Fuddruckers across the street, though.
  
• Internet: 2 - Wired and wireless access, with bonus for free!
  
• Wireless in Common Areas: 1
  
• Work Space, Power: .5 OK, but needs more outlets.
  
• Shower: 0 - Too low, low flow.
  
• Air Conditioning, Bed: 1
  
• Common Areas: 0 Not a great place to hang out. No view.
