Hampton Inn San Angelo

Well, it had a bathroom and lights that turned on. There was a microwave. There were beds so I didn't have to lay on the floor. There was a lock on the door. That's about the extent of the good things. Staying at the San Angelo 76904 Hampton inn by Hilton was a trip back to the 1960s. First time ever in my memory that I couldn't order a movie or stream one. There was no Netflix, there's no way to throw a movie from phone to the television. Yes it was a flat screen, but it did not have NBC, or CBS, it had a very sketchy ABC Network channel. 1HBO channel. Several children's channels and several Spanish language channels. Maybe a Hallmark channel I think, and every ESPN channel under the sun as well as Golf channel. I was not here to sightsee, I was here for medical reasons, and spent most of my time in the room. So my experience may be different from those who just park their stuff, run around all day, and then come in to collapse. It is functional if that's all you need it for. This was in a good location in a nice area of town. I actually remember when this hotel was built so I think of it as a newer hotel that should be pretty nice. They brag about their breakfast. Well I don't eat breakfast, I'm not up at that time of day. So that doesn't apply to me. I have no idea if the breakfast was good, bad, or otherwise. The area seems roomy and clean and pleasantly well-lit for breakfast eating. There's a snack shelf area where apparently with a screen you can add stuff to your bill or pay with card. Brought my own snacks. The pillows on the bed: four on each bed, all piled together felt like about two because they're feather pillows. I don't know anyone who still uses feather pillows. There are people who are allergic to feather pillows, people who aren't allergic to anything else who are allergic to feather pillows. They are lumpy, they are not comfortable, there were tiny feathers in the bed. Beds had a dip in each one especially clearly where people have been sitting on the side of the bed for I guess 30 years. It was a port in a storm. Very dark carpet that showed anything light that you dropped. Appear to have been vacuumed. This bathroom had grab bars and room for a wheelchair to use a transfer bench. Not necessary for me, however what was necessary was the hair dryer which literally was on the shelf so high I was not able to reach it or use it. Would have been nice to have a step stool in the closet for people who are under 6 ft tall. It did have a low peephole for wheelchair, helpful for someone shorter because the top peephole is made for Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, apparently. Or so it seems to someone who is a smaller person. There is no way even on tiptoes I could even think about seeing out the top peephole but I could bend over and look out the lower one. There was a pen provided on the desk, but there was no paper. Not sheets of paper, not a pad of paper not even a scrap of paper with a Hampton or Hilton logo to leave a note when I

Great staff and facilities

The staff was incredibly nice and did the best they could. But the property was old. Sat by a frontage road and highway. Midas muffler and ihop in front of facility. TV’s did not carry nbc or cbs.
