An embarrassment to the beautiful town of Fairhope
Pros:

As Kamala and Biden famously said…“DON’T!” This is the worst hotel in such a quaint town. The rooms look like they are from the 1980’s. They smell. They are damp. The window unit AC is unbelievably loud and it’s hard to control the temperature. The furniture and drapes are FILTHY. Furniture and light fixtures are covered in inches of dust. I wore my shoes at all times in the room because the carpet was so scary. The bedding is disgusting. One thread barren sheet and the comforter was so old and dingy there is NO WAY it is cleaned between guests. The towels are dull and thin. I would have checked right out as soon as I entered the room but all hotels in the area were sold out due to many weddings that weekend. The city of Fairhope should be embarrassed this hotel sits on such prime real estate in their downtown. The exterior does NOT match the interior. This hotel needs a COMPLETE renovation! It’s too bad the town can’t buy this owner out and turn this hotel into a gem that matches the rest of this town.

Location! Location! Location!
Pros:

Everything in downtown Fairhope is within walking distance of this hotel. The staff is friendly and efficient. The beds are comfortable. The breakfasts were flavorful. I would have given this location a rating of 5, but it is beginning to look a little shabby and needs updating. One of the star members of the staff was the desk clerk, Jordan. There was an issue with our reservation that she worked to resolve in a most diplomatic way. We were most appreciative not only for her resolution of the issue, but also for pleasant attitude throughout the episode.

Nice location tainted by poor customer service and false advertising.
Pros:

The location for strolling the city and the bay was really ideal.

Cons:

I did not like that the pool was inoperable. I did not like that the staff was really unwelcoming when I mentioned I booked through Booking.com. I especially do not appreciate that they requested I write the General Manager Heather S. a note, which I am sure they promptly placed in the trash as I never heard from Heather.

It was a good choice for us. We'll stay here again.
Pros:

We have stayed at this Hampton in downtown Fairhope 5-6 times since our son and his family moved there. It's always been clean and comfortable and value-priced. We'll stay there again.

Rundown, but a convenient location
Pros:

The breakfasts were very good. The location is excellent.

Cons:

The hotel needs to be revitalized. The carpet in the rooms are faded and old carpet squares. The bathrooms need to be updated. The windows weredirty and in need of a good cleaning. The hotel is too expensive for what you get.
