This hotel is the gold standard by which all other Hampton Inns should be compared! It was fantastic. The location in the middle of St. Catharines and right off the QEW wasn't really close to anything special but it was central to anywhere you wanted to go. Port Dalhousie, Brock University, Niagara on the Lake, downtown St. Catharines, etc, are all a short drive away.
Breakfast was good, even for a free Hampton breakfast. Rooms & facilities were modern, clean, updated, and high quality.
I had to switch rooms in the middle of my stay and whether I was facing the QEW or the back of the hotel, both were very quiet. And while I did request the room change, Nikki at the front desk took care of it quickly and with a smile! In fact, all of the employees I interacted with were wonderful!
Without a doubt, I will stay here again when visiting St. Catharines.
