Hampton Inn Danville

I stayed here after the Martinsville race and I wasn’t very impressed. The wifi was a huge pain to figure out. The room was clean but had a rusty sprinkler in the bathroom. I called for room service for a blanket and a pillow and they never came. I had to go to the front desk to ask for them again. Ice machine was broken. But the breakfast was really good though.

A pretty nice member of the Hilton family, this Hampton Inn boasts pretty large, comfortable and fairly modern rooms.
I did not like the fitness room (there is only one treadmill and it is COLD… as in wayyyy too cold).
Breakfast was adequate and warm. The coffee can use an upgrade but it is «drinkable», unlike the coffee at many sister properties.
The location is pretty much non-​walkable. You will need a car to get around in spite of the fact that there are restaurants and a nice walking/​running path across the road on the Holiday Inn side of Riverside. It is a five mile loop with some historical landmark placards around. It’s a better alternative to the treadmill when the weather is good.

I love the way they welcome their guests so openly, and the service here is really good. I had a nice stay here and in past times. I truly recommend staying here in the future. It’s very comfortable, and I would definitely come back, again.

So I got knocked out of the Courtyard up the hill, and my only choice was Hampton…
Pros:
+ By a wide margin the Hampton has the better set of bedding. Like unbelievably so much better. The sleep quality alone is fantastic.
+ The breakfast beats the Courtyard by being free.
Cons:
— The internet by contrast is infinitely worse. Lag, impossible to even stream music on, slow browsing. Not good.
— No ice maker second floor, gotta go up or down.
— No bar? No glasses. Not even plastic cups. This seriously peeves me off. Why is the Hampton so bloody cheap. Whiskey eats through paper cups, don’t they know this?!
— The coffee is still god awful, I’m amazed it doesn’t eat the cup…
— It’s harder to turn into from South Boston
Overall, I’d be in the Courtyard up the hill, but in a pinch, this little Hampton is a pleasant place to spend a short stay.

This Hampton is was nice and on the main road. It was kept stocked with snacks in the lobby which was nice after a long day of racing. The outdoor outdoor pool was a bummer but I suppose you can’t have it all. Plenty of places to eat near the hotel. The beds were comfy. Microwave and fridge was in the room and the TV was a nice size flat panel.

Updated older Hampton Inn that could use a little more updating in the bathroom. Best breakfast (in terms of quality and number of items available). Excellent hospitality.
