Pros: Customer Service was outstanding! I-4's Exit 92 at Altamonte Springs (Orlando North) has a lot of options for restaurants. The rooms are a bit larger than most hotels these days. Our room had a nice large crisp flat screen TV. The hot breakfasts were good. Linens were very clean. Small fridge. Cons: This is not up to date like other Hamptons. Had no indoor hallways. A few sketchy clientele. The carpets are very old and dirty and the furniture outdated. The tub squeaked with loose springs underneath and there were ants in the room.

My wife and I used our HHonors points for a short (one night) stay in the Orlando area before catching a flight back home. We were able to use "Point Stretcher" reward points for our stay. I now know why.

As noted in previous ratings, this is an older hotel with exterior hallways. The stairs leading to our second floor room had small holes where the rust had eaten through. The room was a narrow, dark room (with dark carpeting) and only one window (at the front). The bathroom was very small and showing its age.

On the plus side, the staff was friendly and the large breakfast area was up to the usual Hampton Inn standards.

A sign at the check-in notes that there are plans to build a new Hampton Inn in the near future (2012). I think that Hampton should expedite this process by tearing down the current hotel ASAP and starting construction on a new (and improved) facility.

Stayed 2 nights in late December 2011 to attend a college bowl game. Both the exterior and the rooms reflect that this is an older motel and therefore not a typical Hampton.

On the positive side, the desk staff was friendly and efficient. The motel is located conveniently adjacent to I-4, however as my door opened to the interior pool area, I didn't hear highway noise. A refrigerator at first appeared to be absent but then was found in a cabinet under the sink counter. Breakfast is offered however I didn't have the chance to check it out. The room lacked a microwave, which required a stroll to the dining area adjacent to the office to heat something up.

The main negative was that I felt like I paid a little more to have a Hampton level of accommodation, only to find a more 2.5 star level of motel like an older LaQuinta Inn. Hampton should take advantage of the good location to build a new facility that is a hotel rather than a motel and more of a credit to the Hampton brand name.

Hampton Inns have been our "default" hotel choice over the past 10 years. We could count on a clean, comfortable room at a reasonable price. This location wasn't your basic Hampton. It was probably another (cheaper) motel brand before Hampton acquired it. All the rooms opened to the outside (only the second Hampton like this that we could recall). While some may consider it a convenience to have your car parked 5 feet outside of your room, we prefer the quieter inside entrances. The room was not as large or quiet as a typical Hampton and the bathroom was very small. That being said, this was still a Hampton. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the staff was professional, friendly and helpful, and they had one of the best run breakfast services we have seen in a while. Plus, activity is under way to replace the existing, old buildings.
