Unbelievable Deals at Hampton Inn & Suites Pasco! (Tri-Cities WA)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the Hampton Inn & Suites Pasco (Tri-Cities WA)! And let me tell you, I've got opinions. I'm not holding back, so if you're looking for a sterile, perfect brochure blurb, you've come to the WRONG place. This is the REAL deal, the messy, sometimes-confusing, always-honest truth about my stay.
The Unbelievable Deals? Yeah, Let's Talk About That (and Figure Out if They're Actually Believable!)
First off, let's cut to the chase: Unbelievable Deals? That’s what they're advertising, and I'm all ears (or rather, all eyes). I’m the kind of traveler who loves a good bargain, so I went in expecting to be amazed. The prices fluctuated, naturally, depending on the season (hello, seasonal fruit, I'm looking at you!).
So, Did They Live Up to the Hype? (The Accessibility Angle)
Okay, so, let's tackle accessibility, because that's a HUGE deal. Honestly, I loved it that they put it right up at the beginning, it shows they care. I don't have any specific mobility needs, but I did check out the layout. They definitely seem to have done a decent job with wheelchair accessibility. The elevator was easy to find, the doorways seemed wide enough, and from what I could tell, the hallways were well-lit and easy to navigate. Now, I didn’t experience it firsthand, but it’s CLEAR they're making an effort, and that matters a HUGE amount. Also, bonus points for facilities for disabled guests listed in the "Services and conveniences" section. Good start, Hampton Inn & Suites Pasco!
Internet Access (Because We Live in the Future, Right?)
This is the modern age, folks. Internet access is not a luxury, it's a necessity! And YES, praise the Wi-Fi gods, there’s free Wi-Fi in all rooms! And, of course, Wi-Fi in public areas. They even boasted about Internet [LAN] which, hey, if you're old school and need a wired connection, they've got you covered. I'd say the Internet services were pretty darn reliable. I mean, I streamed movies without any major buffering…so, not perfect, but a win in my book.
Cleanliness and Safety (Let's Get Real)
Okay, this is where the rubber meets the road in the post-pandemic world. Cleanliness and safety are PARAMOUNT. Here's how they handled it:
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Okay, good start.
- Cashless payment service: Smart. Minimizes contact.
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Yeah, I saw them doing this. Made ya feel like they’re trying.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere. Literally, everywhere. I was bordering on being sprayed with sanitizer, which I love or hate depending on the day.
- Hot water linen and laundry washing: Essential.
- Hygiene certification: The Holy Grail. Were they actually certified? I'm not sure, but they certainly made a point of highlighting their safety procedures.
- Individually-wrapped food options: This was a nice touch, especially at the breakfast buffet (more on that later).
- Physical distancing of at least 1 meter: They tried. The hotel wasn’t overwhelmingly crowded, so it wasn’t a problem, but it's tough to 100% enforce.
- Professional-grade sanitizing services: Good, but do I know if they actually have them? I can't exactly look IN the cleaning closet.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Definitely good. Gave me a little peace of mind.
- Safe dining setup: The dining area seemed organized.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: They seemed like they were trained. They wore masks, at least, and were mindful of distancing.
- Sterilizing equipment: I didn't see it, but I didn't expect to!
- I liked that Room sanitization opt-out available Because I'm not the type of person who needs that.
The overall vibe? They were making a concerted effort. The whole thing was clearly a balancing act, but I felt reasonably safe.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (Fueling the Adventure!)
Okay, let’s hit the food! This is where things get interesting.
- Breakfast [buffet]: The breakfast buffet was a classic Hampton Inn affair. Waffles? Check. Scrambled eggs? Check. Cereal, fruit, and all the usual suspects. It was fine. Not gourmet, not life-changing, but perfectly adequate to fuel your morning. The Asian breakfast option? Mixed reviews. Some of their Asian dishes were actually surprisingly good, but some felt a bit… confused.
- Coffee/tea in restaurant: The coffee was, well, hotel coffee. Strong, but not exactly artisanal.
- Snack bar: I saw a snack bar but there was nothing to comment on, I didn't buy anything.
- On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Were there restaurants or bars on-site? Hmmm… I didn’t see a lounge but there was a small area where you could order food.
- Room service [24-hour]: Bingo! But, I ordered at like 2 AM once, and the menu was limited.
- Alternative meal arrangement: Available, which is cool.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax (Spa Days and Fitness Fiascos!)
They had a swimming pool [outdoor]. It looked… inviting, and it has a pool with view. The Fitness center? This is where things went south quickly. It was, in a word, small. And a little bit musty. I went for a quick workout (because I’m that guy), and it was fine for a quick sweat, but don't expect a state-of-the-art experience. I didn't see any Spa, Sauna, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Massage, Pool with view. Sadly.
Services and Conveniences (The Little Things Matter)
- Air conditioning in public area: YES. Thank goodness. Pasco can get HOT.
- Business facilities: Meeting/banquet facilities! Okay, not really my thing, but good if you're on a work trip.
- Concierge: I didn't use it.
- Currency exchange: Not relevant to me.
- Daily housekeeping: They kept my room clean!
- Elevator: Essential.
- Facilities for disabled guests: See above.

- Gift/souvenir shop: I did see a small one with some snacks and travel essentials.
- Ironing service: A lifesaver.
- Laundry service: Another lifesaver.
- Luggage storage: Helpful.
- Safety deposit boxes: Always a good idea.
- Smoking area: They had one.
For the Kids (Family-Friendly Frenzy!)
- Babysitting service: Nope.
- Family/child friendly: Yep! The whole atmosphere was pretty relaxed. No judging parents of screaming toddlers.
- Kids meal: I didn't dig that up.
- Hotel chain: The chain itself is great for kids, but what about the facilities?

- Air conditioning: Duh. It’s Pasco.
- Alarm clock: Yes.
- Bathtub: Nice touch.
- Blackout curtains: Crucial.
- Coffee/tea maker: Yes.
- Free bottled water: YES!

Hampton Inn & Suites Pasco/Tri-Cities: A Journey into Mild Discomfort (and Possibly Redemption)
Day 1: The Arrival (and the Slow Burn of Disappointment)
- 1:00 PM: Arrive. The first impression of the Hampton Inn? Beige. Beige everywhere. Beige walls, beige carpet, beige… well, you get the picture. They’re clearly trying to be minimalist, but it just feels…depressing. I'm already plotting my escape. Quick note to self: Pack emergency chocolate for emotional support.
- 1:15 PM: Check-in. The front desk person is excessively cheerful. Is this a personality trait or are they robotically programmed? Consider the possibility of being placed in a high-traffic room or being kept near the elevator that takes more than 20 seconds to get up or down as a punishment for my lack of enthusiasm.
- 1:30 PM: Drop bags in the room. Ugh. The room is…serviceable. Two queen beds. Thank god I’m alone. I can sprawl. The view from my window is…the parking lot. Sigh. It’s like looking at the world through a tinted, slightly-squinted eye. I'm still reeling from the lack of good views, maybe it's time to go find some coffee at a local shop.
- 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM: Coffee Quest of the Day (and the existential crisis brewing): Find local coffee shop. The Yelp reviews seem promising. Coffee: the lifeblood of a weary traveler.
- 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM: The coffee shop was good. Surprisingly good. The barista was a gem, even though i spilled my latte on my first try. She just smiled and made me another one. But now I’m back in the Hampton. The silence is deafening. Should I start a conversation with the fire alarm? Probably not. I open my laptop. The internet is…okay. Another minor victory.
- 5:00 PM: Contemplate the meaning of life while staring at the ceiling. Or the popcorn ceiling. Or perhaps it's just popcorn. Is that a metaphor? Am I overthinking this already? Decide to take a walk to clear my head. Which, ironically, is also where I get my first real glimpse of the Tri-Cities.
- 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM: Wandering the Tri-Cities: Okay, here's the thing about Pasco. It's… expansive. It's got a river, which is nice. It's got a lot of open space. Drive around the river and take in the views.
- 7:00 PM: Dinner. The reviews on the local Mexican restaurant are mixed. Risky. But I'm hungry.
- 8:00 PM: The food was bland, the service was slow, and I now regret everything. Back to the room. Sigh. Maybe I was too ambitious. I mean, look at this place. Watch some mindless TV.
- 9:00 PM: Try to fall asleep. Fail. The air conditioning is either freezing me or making a godawful noise. Or both. First-world problems, thy name is Hampton Inn.
- 10:00 PM: Give up on sleep. Eat emergency chocolate. Stare at the ceiling. Reconsider my life choices.
- 11:00 PM: Sleep… maybe.
Day 2: The Redemption (and the Slow Burn of Disappointment, Part Deux)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. Did I sleep? Was it a dream? The mysteries of the Hampton Inn sleep schedule.
- 7:30 AM: The hotel breakfast. Don't get your hopes up. They offer the usual: waffles, cold cereal, sad-looking fruit, and coffee that tastes vaguely of burnt plastic. Force myself to eat something.
- 8:30 AM: Gym. The hotel gym is… well, it exists. It's small. There's one treadmill. I'm not sure it's worth the effort. Do it anyway. Gotta sweat out the existential dread.
- 9:30 AM: Back in the room. Shower. Contemplate escaping the hotel. Decide not to. At least, not yet.
- 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM: Delve into the local wineries. The Tri-Cities is known for its wineries. So, I’m off to discover the wineries. Wish me luck, or at least, water.
- 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM: Lunch. There might be something on the local spots.
- 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM: Double down on the winery exploration. I've decided to turn it into a mission. A quest! I'm going to taste every single damn wine they offer. I’m going to become a wine expert, or at least, a slightly tipsy one, by the end of the day. This could either be genius or a spectacular disaster.
- 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM: Realization. The wine is excellent. The vineyard is beautiful, but now I have to go back to Hampton. Maybe I will just say at one of the wineries. Just one more glass.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. The reviews on the local burger joint are promising. Risky. But I'm hungry.
- 7:00 PM: The food was incredible, the service was fast, and I am now happy! Back to the room. Smile
- 8:00 PM: Try a new Netflix or TV show.
- 9:00 PM: Fall asleep.
- 10:00 PM: The hotel is great.
- 11:00 PM: Sleep soundly.
Day 3: The Escape (and the Bitter-Sweet Farewell)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up.
- 7:30 AM - 8:30 AM: The hotel breakfast, again. Slightly less depressing than yesterday. The coffee still tastes like burnt plastic though.
- 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM: Pack. Freedom is on the horizon.
- 9:00 AM: Check-out. The excessively cheerful front desk person gives me a final, overly-enthusiastic goodbye. Is it genuine? Or is it just another robot programmed to deal with semi-disappointed guests? Doesn't matter. I'm free.
- 9:15 AM: Driving away. I'm already planning my next escape.
- Final Thoughts: The Hampton Inn & Suites of Pasco, Washington. It's… an experience. A beige, slightly disappointing, occasionally frustrating, but ultimately, a memorable experience. I may have spent the majority of my time there contemplating the meaning of life and/or the various ways to escape confinement, but hey, I survived. And maybe, just maybe, I even found a tiny spark of appreciation for the… well, let's just say I'm glad to be leaving. But the wine was good. And that counts for something, right?
Unbelievable Deals at Hampton Inn & Suites Pasco! (Tri-Cities, WA) - Seriously?
Okay, spill the beans. What *kind* of "deals" are we talking about here? Are we talking... *unbelievable*?
Well, alright, alright, settle down. "Unbelievable" is a strong word, I admit. Picture this: you're scrolling through Expedia at 2 AM, fueled by regret and lukewarm coffee. You see a Hampton Inn Pasco listing. *Prices surprisingly low*. Like, "did I accidentally click on a rewards point glitch?" low. That’s a good start, right? But sometimes... sometimes it's a trick, a siren song! They lure you in with the cheap price, and then BAM, hidden fees, mandatory "resort" charges for a glorified breakfast bar.
So, are the deals truly *unbelievable*? Sometimes, yes! Especially if you're flexible with your dates and travel during the off-season. Think midweek stays, avoiding major events in the Tri-Cities (which, let's be honest, are often centered on… grapes. No shade!) and maybe booking well in advance. And... *cross your fingers.* Seriously. Prayer helps, I swear.
BUT, I also once snagged a suite for a ridiculously low price because it was the weekend of the local fair. Seems everyone else was at the fair. Me? I was luxuriating in the oversized tub after a long drive, feeling like I'd won the lottery. So, yeah, deals *can* be unbelievable. Just... temper your expectations. Or maybe just... pray. (Don't tell anyone I rely on prayer, okay?)
What's the *catch*? There's always a catch, isn't there? Spill the tea, please!
The catch? Oh, friend, there's *always* a catch. Sometimes, it's the location. The Hampton Inn Pasco isn't exactly… waterfront property. You're not in the middle of the action. But that's okay! That's what they make cars for, right? Or ride-sharing services… if you're not as cheap as me.
Another catch? Sometimes, the breakfast buffet is… well, let's just say it's not a Michelin-star experience. It's the standard Hampton Inn fare: waffles, scrambled eggs that might or might not be *real* eggs, and questionable pastries. *But hey, it's free!* And hey, sometimes a stale muffin is all you need to cure a hangover from the night before, right? I've been there. We've all been there.
The biggest 'catch' is the whole 'deal' thing changes all the time. One week, it's rocking, you're getting suites for less than Motel 6 rates, next week, you're paying through the nose. Supply and demand, baby. It's a brutal, fickle mistress.
I saw a review that said the pool was "green." Is that true?! Because I'm *terrified* of green pools.
Okay, let's address the elephant in the room: the dreaded "green pool" review. Look, I'm usually not one for drama, but green pools are a *red flag*. I've been to some… questionable pools in my day, and the thought of green water makes me physically ill.
I haven’t personally witnessed a green pool *lately* at the Hampton Inn Pasco. But hotels… they sometimes have… *moments*. You know, plumbing issues, weather-related anomalies, overworked cleaning staffs... stuff happens. It's possible that reviewer caught them at a bad time, but if you're a pool person, I suggest checking recent reviews before you book. If you see "green" mentioned, maybe… maybe consider bringing your own inflatable pool. Not ideal, but safety first, right?
Seriously though: contact the hotel directly and ask. Don't put your faith in random internet people if a dodgy pool is a deal breaker. (And if it *is* green, report back! I need to know!)
Okay, hypothetically speaking, I find a deal. Is it *worth* it? Like, quality-wise?
Alright, the million-dollar question: is it worth it *quality-wise*? Look, let's be real. It's a *Hampton Inn*. It's not the Ritz-Carlton. But it's *usually* a solid, reliable choice. The rooms are generally clean, the beds are comfy enough (after a long day of driving, anything feels comfy!), and the staff is usually friendly and helpful. The free breakfast is a bonus, even if the breakfast meat is questionable. And free Wi-Fi? A lifesaver.
I’ve had some pretty good experiences there. A few years back, I was driving through on a hellish road trip, and I was *exhausted*. I'd found a decent price. When I walked into the lobby, the front desk guy practically handed me a cookie (double points if they still do that!) and the room was clean, and the air conditioning worked. That night, I slept like a baby. It saved me. THAT, my friends, is worth *everything*.
But (and there's always a but, isn't there?), I've also experienced the *occasional* issue. A noisy air conditioner. A slightly-too-thin wall. A neighbor who clearly forgot the volume dial. But those issues, in my experience, are usually nothing too major to complain about. So, yeah, generally speaking, if you find a deal, *it's probably worth it*. But do your research, read the reviews, and don’t be afraid to ask questions! You can always change your mind.
Are there any hidden fees I should be aware of? Because I *hate* hidden fees!
Hidden fees? *Ugh.* Don't we all hate them?! I'm with you, friend. The Hampton Inn Pasco… *usually* doesn't pull any major fee shenanigans. However, always, *always* double-check your booking confirmation! Read the fine print! Because they *could* slip in a resort fee or a parking fee somewhere.
I usually check sites like Kayak or Expedia, and those listings often break down all the fees. If you book directly through the hotel's website, the fees should be listed clearly. But, just in case, be a good detective. Otherwise, you might end up at the desk, reaching for your wallet, and feeling a creeping sense of dread. And no one wants that. Check the fine print! Trust me on this!
I booked a "suite." What should I expect? Is it actually a *suite* suite?
Suites. Ah, the promise of luxury! Sometimes, it's a promise kept; sometimes, it's… not. At the Hampton Inn Pasco, a "suite" usually means you get a slightly larger room (compared to a standard room), and the area is usually divided into two sections: usually a bedroom area plus a living area with a pull-out sofa. Possibly a kitchenette or a larger desk.My Hotel Reviewst
