Hampton Inn & Suites Wilder

8/10 Good

"Check in was fast and friendly, room was clean. The breakfast was ok but not the greatest of fresh offerings. Also the breakfast attendant wasn't helpful or kind to a group who didn't know how to use the waffle maker another guest went over to help the group while the attendant stood there and watched. The location is prefect if your going to an event at Riverbend."
