We usually stay at Hampton Inn because we like their beds as they are similar to ours at home and we get a good nights sleep. We walked on the beach and when we got back to the room my husband went to rinse his feet in the bathtub. We noticed a ring around the bathtub and dirt on the edge in the corner. We called the front desk and were told to call and speak to a manager in the morning. When called the manager seemed uninterested and I said at this point we hope the sheets were changed. He said they probably should have been. A housekeeper came and cleaned the tub and said I cleaned this room yesterday and didn’t see that so I don’t know what happened. We stayed at Fairfield Inn the next 2 nights.

I had a very enjoyable stay overall. The continental breakfast was excellent, and the amenities offered were wonderful, making the experience quite comfortable. However, there were a few areas that could use improvement. The air conditioning in the room didn’t seem to match the set temperature—it felt much warmer than expected. While the staff did recommend some local restaurants at check-in, I would’ve appreciated more information about nearby attractions, like the ferry rides or other activities in the area, especially since I was unfamiliar with the location. The hotel’s communication system, which uses text messaging, was also a bit slow in responding to questions. Additionally, the information provided at check-in could be more thorough to help new guests navigate both the hotel and surrounding area more easily. That said, the hotel’s location is fantastic—very close to the beach and right by the shops along the boardwalk. I definitely plan to return, though next time I’ll likely opt for a weekend stay, as more local spots are open compared to weekdays.
