Murfreesboro, Tennessee: Hampton Inn & Suites

 January 2023, weekend, one night

Arrival and diamond perks

Our arrival experience was a bit exasperating; however, all worked out okay in the end. There were two or three guests at the front desk when we arrived shortly after 7:00 PM. One woman wanted to get into the fitness center, and her key did not work (the new key the front desk agent provided also did not work; apparently, the door keypad needed new batteries). Another guest was seated in the lobby while the front desk clerk was apparently having trouble getting her room for her (the clerk eventually called her up and provided keys), and I am not sure if the other group of guests actually needed assistance, or if they were just waiting for their dinner ride (they were waiting by the front desk, but then left when a ride arrived before it would have been their turn). I waited about 15 minutes for assistance, during which time, I wondered if I should have chosen the DoubleTree across the street instead. No one said anything while I waited, so initially, it was difficult to know who-all was waiting for assistance. Especially, since one guest was seated across the lobby while the clerk worked at her computer. When it was my turn, the front desk clerk apologized, recognized my status, and gave us an upgraded suite on the top floor. We received water and snacks. I would have checked in on the app, if rooms had been available, as stated in the Hilton Honors program. The program says that diamond members will be offered upgraded rooms up to three days ahead of check-in, if available; however, I rarely see upgraded rooms available when I look at the app before arrival.

This guestroom was comfortable and clean. It looked pretty much exactly like the photos on the hotel website. The spacious entry counter/wet bar area included a sink, coffeemaker, microwave, and small fridge.

The guestroom contained a sofa, footstool, work desk and chair, suitcase bench, flatscreen TV, and king size bed. There were plenty of electrical outlets at the desk and next to the bed.

A large closet with mirrored doors was located on the wall next to the vanity. The bathroom contained a large walk-in shower.


The guestroom was well soundproofed, and we slept great!


Misc. and overall

We were not in this hotel long. It was mainly just a place to sleep for us, and it met our needs well. I would definitely chose this hotel again when in the area.


Let me know if you have any questions!
