We had booked a stay at the Hampton Hotel in Amarillo, TX, but our experience was so disappointing that we declined to stay. Upon checking in at the counter and receiving the key, we were immediately greeted by a strong smell of cigarette smoke that permeated the lobby area. The lingering odor of smoke made it difficult to breathe and created a very unpleasant atmosphere. Additionally, there were noticeable pet pee smells present in the hotel, further adding to the discomfort. The combination of these odors, along with the overall lack of cleanliness, led us to make the decision to seek accommodation elsewhere. Even our children were taken aback by the unpleasant smells and expressed their discomfort. It was clear that the hotel did not meet our standards of cleanliness and comfort, prompting us to forgo our reservation and find a different hotel that could provide a more pleasant stay. Our decision to not stay at the Hampton Hotel was a direct result of the unacceptable conditions we encountered upon arrival.
