Hampton Inn & Suites Port Richey

Very good loved the waffles

very clean. staff was friendly and the breakfast was good.

Todo acorde al precio pagado.

As always, the Hampton Inn Breakfast was excellent. That is one of the main reasons I always try to stay at Hampton Inn when I travel. I enjoy the comfort of security as opposed to staying at a lower-class place where there are usually shady people allowed to be out and about on the property. The staff is always friendly. Rooms are always very clean.

Let me start by noting that I generally had a good experience even if a couple of weird things happened during my three-night stay. Let me do the weird stuff first, 'cause that's more fun for you to read.
I checked in via the Hilton app the night before, and chose my room (122; it's kind of important). When I got there, the digital key still wasn't ready so I went to the front desk and told them that I'd checked in but I would need a key card. My wife was arriving the next day, so a key would be needed for her anyway. During my time at the front desk, my digital key activated. I walked down to 122 and opened the door...and it was clear that the room hadn't been re-set from the previous guest: towels in the tub, bed unmade, half-empty coffee cup on the table, etc.
I walked back to the desk (75-ish feet away) and there was nobody there. Two other people came in who had some business at the desk. We waited for a few minutes. On a whim I tried calling the hotel's main number. The phone in front of me rang for a couple of minutes but nobody picked up before I disconnected. So it's no exaggeration to say that I was out there at least five minutes and maybe even as much as ten before the desk clerk emerged from the office. I explained the problem and she walked down the hall, then came back and acknowledged that 122 was definitely not ready for me, but 125, across the hall, was identical and was ready for a guest. Cool. I had new keys made up and got settled in.
I went out for dinner with some local family members and when I returned, I tried to use my digital key to open 125, but 122 unlocked instead. I used my regular key to get into 125, and all was well. For what it's worth, my digital key never disconnected from 122 the entire time. As I got close to 125, I'd give the key a try, and I'd hear the wrong door unlock. (I'm no creep, I never actually opened the door.) I did report this to the front desk the first morning and the clerk tried to clear the digital key, but apparently this didn't work.
Okay, that's the weird stuff. On to the usual stuff.
The room is designated as a King Suite, and as you enter there's a kitchen counter on the right, with a small sink and a countertop microwave. On shelving underneath is the coffee maker and the usual accoutrements for that. In front of you is a bench with a large drawer in it; behind that is a sofa (I think it's a fold-out?). Now, the room opens out to the area with the sofa; opposite that is the bed and in-between are a small circular table with a chair (the website calls this a desk but it's clearly not) and the large-screen television. There were lots of channels available on the TV, but unfortunately there was no on-screen guide to them (everything read "No Information Available"), so I basically had to channel-surf, old-style, to find something of interest to me. I was mostly searching for a news channel for background noise, but still. The TV was also set up for me to connect my computer to it if I chose to; I can see where that would come in handy. However, the TV's placement on the side wall meant that I had to angle it way out to make it visible from anything other than the table/chair. It was kind of an odd setup but frankly I don't have a viable alternative to offer. If I'd chosen to watch from the sofa, it might be a little on the high side.
Speaking of noise: the hotel was busy this weekend but the only way you'd know was by checking out the parking lot, and the breakfast area in the mornings. Other than that, sound didn't transmit from one place to another. However, the room itself was cavernous. It had very high ceilings and not enough soft surfaces to dampen the echoes.
Off the main bedroom area was a split bathroom: tub and toilet behind a door, sink open to the room. The closet had no doors and only a couple of small (12" wide) shelves. The nightstands had hinged doors rather than drawers, and there was no dresser, so as I unpacked, I had to store my underwear and socks on one of the shelves in the closet, which as I noted just now had no doors. (You can tell there used to be doors once-upon-a-time, because of the filled-in holes where the fixtures had been.) So all my clean clothes were hanging in the closet, or stacked on the shelf. When my wife arrived, it became a matter of sharing that space.
There were lots of outlets and power ports in the room, so good news on that front.
Breakfast was your typical Hampton Inn affair: several options both hot and cold, which changed a little from day-to-day. I think scrambled eggs were available every day I was there, but the meat changed each morning and so did the third hot option. Plus, of course, waffles. My wife has a food allergy and the breakfast attendant was very helpful in determining whether she could eat some elements of breakfast.
Overall the room was clean and comfortable, and will likely be where I stay next time I'm in town.

Everything, nice location, clean and offered a lot of commodities.

Very nice Updated. Breakfast was great.

Conveniently located next to a gas station. Breakfast was good.
