Hampton Inn & Suites Macon I-75 North

Upon arrival there was a roach at the counter. The front desk lady killed it and stated pest control just left. Assuming bugs would come in due to the heat increasing in the area it wasn’t a total flop. She allowed us to check in early which was great. We opted out from eating anything unpackaged. The pool area needed some attention. The light in the pool was broken off hanging in the pool. The pool was very large and kids enjoyed it. Later in the evening we interacted with 2 other staff members to assist with freezing our ice packs one was very friendly and told us they would be happy to freeze them offered bags and when we brought them down another one huffed and puffed “oh your the ice pack people” not friendly and when leaving she was still there annoyed we were retrieving our packs.

Liked the cleanliness. As always. Need more and better training for host staff. Just ok. Not worth what I paid.

Dining options near the property were limited and you need your car to get to them. We like the option to walk after a long drive. We did agree for just an overnight stop it was convenient to the I -75 and was happy with the over all stay.

Parking on the Friday was challenging. The only spots when I got back to the hotel after my event were in the back which isn’t so bad but the lighting was not good. For safety reasons I parked at the hotel next door

The hotel property was nice. We had stayed in a Homewood Suites that had been remodeled the night before so it really set the bar high for the Macon hotel. When we first checked in the lady who helped us was not very welcoming, maybe she was having a bad day. The next morning we had breakfast and the lady taking care of the breakfast area actually picked up our plates. She was great. Definitely would stay here again.

Great southern hospitality, especially Akila in the morning breakfast.
