Stayed at the Hampton Inn a few months ago. Totally basic. All common areas blocked off. Plastic sheets over external door (it was cold outside), no food. Many people seemed to be ordering delivery. Next door (they are side-by-side) at the Hilton, only a little better. Bar / restaurant open with limited menu. Could get drinks to take away, but couldn't sit at the bar. Everything closed at 9:30 pm (perhaps this is standard?).
One hint - if you do book either of these hotels, they have different shuttles (goodness knows why), but grab the first shuttle that comes along. The wait can be long, so just get on board either the Hampton Inn or the Hilton shuttle. Driver questioned me: "Hilton? You go to Hilton? Wait other bus." I insisted I was going to the Hilton, then walked across to the Hampton. But gave the driver a good tip.
