I don't often stay at Hamptons because they're a little upscale for me. I'm more of a Motel6 kinda guy when I'm on my own but this motel was the closest to the start of a sporting event so I went with it.
I always thought Hamptons were expensive but even in Orange County, which isn't cheap, this Hampton was reasonably priced (< $100). The motel has a lot of features I appreciated like excellent staff, large public areas, above average breakfast, coffee and fruit all day, microwave, fridge, nice TV, in-room coffee maker, free WiFi, and a guest computer in the lobby.
One thing I hadn't seen before was a lap tray on the bed as I entered the room with channel guide and remote on it - nice touch. Beds were very comfy and the facility was very quiet.
The only issue I had was some ugly cracks in the ceiling around the shower. Nothing a competent handyman couldn't fix in an hour but they were still there.
Four stars for a very good effort.
