Location! This property location is fantastic if you have a car. It is not to far from the downtown area but a far distance in car. Ideally located. While property is a little dated it had what we needed for our stay over the 4th holiday.

The manager, Kathleen, is wonderful. She checked us in and treated us like we were family. In the room, I’d say it needs glassware or something other than the paper coffee cups for iced beverages. The paper ones were disintegrating. I love that they have self pour taps in the lobby for wine and beer, though I didn’t partake this time. We had a situation where my wife slipped and fell on the recently mopped tile by the elevator bay. No major injury, but the front desk agent, Juliana, and Kathleen handled it so well. We are very impressed and appreciative.

Everyone was very friendly. The young lady at the desk was especially friendly with a smile all the time. The breakfast was very good and plenty to eat. It was very clean and well kept in all areas. I was also pleased that it was pet friendly. She did very well and everyone was friendly with our dog. Thank you for making our visit very pleasant and enjoyable. This is one of my favorite Hampton Inns. I’ve stayed at Hampton Inn Jacksonville Beach and they are not that pleasant and friendly.

Very disappointed. The first Hampton we have stayed at with NO BUSINESS CENTER! I own a business & need to work when I travel. Internet was very spotty & inconvenient. Also, tried to put in exterior room opening to parking lot. We insisted on an interior room. Lots of road noise from I75. Will not stay at this hotel again
