We stayed two nights at the Hampton Inn Fayetteville Cross Creek Mall location in September of 2008. My overall impression is that it was good, but not great.
First off, if you are not familiar with the area, it's a little complicated trying to find the entrance to the hotel. Once we figured it out, it wasn't a problem, but it wasn't exactly straightforward.
The room was typical size, and the beds were pretty comfortable. It had the (now) standard Hampton white comforters with a pile of pillows to choose from.
The bathroom was clean, and adequate. Although the fluorescent light in the bathroom worked when we got there, the next morning it flickered, but wouldn't come on. I made a quick phone call to the front desk about it before we left for the day, and when we returned, the situation had been taken care of. Good service is always appreciated!
One thing I like about Hamptons is that they include a hot breakfast, not just a continental breakfast. This hotel had prepackaged breakfast entrees in a refrigerator, with microwaving instructions. Not as good as what I've eaten at other Hamptons, but I can understand why they'd go that route -- they don't have to hire someone to warm and serve the food.
Overall, it wasn't a bad experience. It was a little pricier than other Hampton Inns I've stayed at, but pretty much in line for the area -- I shopped around before booking it.
On the positive side: when we first went to our room, neither of our keys would work. The desk clerk gave us new ones, which did. A few minutes later, she called and checked on us, to make sure we were able to get into our room. That was nice!
