This review is my own personal opinion of this hotel. In my view, this hotel has to be THE WORST Hampton Inn in the U.S. Two big problems right off the bat. First, the room front door would not close shut; hence, we could not leave the room for dinner after checking into it. Secondly, it turns out that the room was the last one down the hall right next to what turned out to be the Mechanical Room. As tired as I was from driving all day, I had a hard time falling asleep. The noise from the mechanical was a constant, droning, humming noise; it sounded like a faint fog horn warning ships on the ocean, unrelenting, all night long, yet loud enough to keep you awake. It woke me up in the middle of the night and I just could not go back to sleep. When I called the front desk to complain before bedtime, the hotel manager, Heather, could only offer this simple "solution": "I can give you earplugs!!!" Unbelievable. How unfortunate and disappointing to have such an apparent lack of care for your customers. Two of the basic items that I expect and indeed demand when checking into a hotel are peace and quiet, and a front door that works perfectly well as intended. This Hampton Inn failed miserable at both and seemed to show an unfortunate disregard for our wellbeing. Asked to speak to somebody in charge when I checked out early AM, there was nobody in charge at the time. Front desk staff could do nothing to address my issues. Once back home. I called Hilton Corporate office to file a complaint. Was given a case number. Sent an e-mail to the hotel manager with my complaints asking form my money back. Four days have gone by since doing that. No response from either, yet. Nothing but crickets. Never again, Hampton Inn, Pendleton, OR. Never again, indeed.
