The checkin was friendly and straight forward. BUT my early departure was a disaster. No promised wake up call, no sta
Pros:

The location was good for its proximity to the airport. The signage is really poor. I wouldn’t have found it if the wind hadn’t blown the small Hampton Inn flag open to reveal the name.

Location was great. Staff was wonderful.

My husband and I had a wonderful time celebrating our 40th Wedding Anniversary, we’d go back.
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent, a good variety to choose from, ample sitting area for the morning crowd. The only suggestion would be maybe a second waffle maker, because the wait line for that was too long, so I wasn’t able to enjoy one. Room was clean. As far as location, it was perfect. Walking distance to Little Italy, the waterfront, and plenty of restaurants to choose from. We used the Trolly to get around also which was nice too.

Cons:

The only issues we had with our room were the doors. The main door and the bathroom door. The entry door did not close on it’s own, we always had to make sure it was closed properly and once closed it still had some wiggle room, it wouldn’t have a tight close. The bathroom door would some how get stuck, I had a hard time opening it from the outside and once inside I struggled to get out.

Our stay made it feel like a true vacation and escape from our everyday life.
Pros:

The property was great. No complaints. Great breakfast. The staff were accessible and friendly. Our room and other areas were clean and nice smelling.

Cons:

The only thing we didn’t not like was the motion light coming on when we went to the bathroom. Not sure if there was a way to temporarily turn it off.
