Hampton Inn O'Fallon, Il

I particularly enjoy coming here same time every year to visit family for the past 5-7 years. One year it was booked and I was highly annoyed because the other hotels in the area aren't as nice or accommodating for the same price. It's usually always clean from top to bottom but this visit i noticed, a weird smell in the elevator (it usually smells fresh, like a clorox wipe) the hallway carpets were pretty grimy and the towels could use a brightener. The hotel staff were visible as needed cleaning common areas and assigned rooms. The free breakfast is definitely a plus as it includes an assortment of pastries, yogurt, cereal and hot breakfast food like waffles, eggs, breakfast meat and potatoes. There were basic beverage items available in addition to a variety of condiments. There always seems to be something available for different dietary needs (not sure about gluten free products though). This is not a 4 or five star hotel but its pretty good for the value. Good and safe parking available, great location near shops and eateries within 5 min or less by car.

The fitness facilities were great. I was happy to see a TRX system available and especially the Peloton Bike. The only thing with the bike is that the pedals didn't come with a craddle only for clip in shoes and without knowing to bring my clip in cyclig shoes, riding in regular shoes on that base was uncomfortable.

The room was very clean and spacious. The breakfast buffet was kept well stocked and had a good variety of foods available.

The breakfast was good - adequate choice. Room well appointed and clean. Coffee and water available 24/7. Rooms had plenty of USB sockets for charging and space for toiletries.

The breakfast was great, and the location is wonderfully close to so many restaurants. We went to a cracker barrel. And the motel was maybe a 1/8 of a mile from the restaurant.
