Hampton Inn lobby decaf is a pleasant surprise for a hotel setup. In the cup it comes across light and easy, with a soft caramel sweetness up front and a faint lemongrass note that adds a little lift without turning sharp. The body is on the thinner side, but it stays clean and sweet rather than watery, and there is no harsh, burnt finish that decaf can sometimes carry.
Compared with the typical Marriott lobby brew, this feels noticeably more considered and drinkable. It is not going to rival a good cafe decaf, but for a complimentary hotel option it is comfortably above average and genuinely enjoyable.Cupping Method:Hampton Inn, Albany, New York

This Hampton Inn lobby coffee is a South and Central American blend aimed at easy drinking. It sits in that lighter hotel range, closer to a specialty medium roast than anything dark. The cup is clean and straightforward, with a soft chocolate backbone, a little earthiness, and a mild caramel sweetness that helps it go down smoothly even if it never quite turns lush. Acidity stays low and controlled, with only a quiet trace of fruit, more like a hint of navel orange and plum.
The balance is the main strength here. Nothing sticks out, and that is kind of the point for a lobby brew. There is a faint rubbery note at times, likely from holding or batch conditions, but it does not dominate. Overall, it is a solid, neutral, lightly roasted hotel blend that is noticeably more pleasant than many peers, even if it does not offer a single winning note.Cupping Method:Hampton Inn lobby, Albany, NY
