"The hotel was nice, clean, and well-located, and the room was comfortable and roomy. We enjoyed our stay. I had somehow missed that the hotel's parking situation was a rather overpriced valet parking arrangement, so I would call that to the attention of future guests."

"Room was clean enough and staff was accommodating. Breakfast was decent and pool was great but hot tub seemed a bit dirty. Only thing that made it not great was the price because it the stay was during the Seafood Festival :-( Price too high for accommodation 9/12/26 otherwise property was in line with other Hampton Inn properties."
