Hampton Inn Harrisonburg - University

8/10 Good

"Stayed at the Harrisonburg Hampton Inn while traveling back home to New England rather than trying to sleep at a truck stop. Location was very easy and convenient off I81, staff was very welcoming and friendly even when checking in at almost 11pm! Included breakfast is very nice although the breakfast area wasn’t the cleanest but was not bad considering."
