After a long day at Sea World, we found our way to the Hampton Inn. Just a warning, your GPS will give you strange directions and you really need to keep your eyes out for the hotel. I knew from reading the reviews that the area was in question, but when we arrived, the parking lot was well lit and there were no strange people lurking around. I went and checked in and was greeted by the friendly staff. I was given an upgrade to a room with a fridge and microwave which was greatly appreciated since we had our 2 year old daughter with us. I asked about restaurant recommendations and was given a helpful list in which the front desk person, put stars on the places that were close by and had great food. She offered me a refreshment and asked how many I needed. I was pleasantly surprised on their hospitality and left their desk with a smile on my face. When we entered the room, it was at the back of the property and it was very well decorated. There was a strange scent when I walked in, and wasn't sure what it was. I sprayed the room with my orange air freshener and it smelled a lot better. The room was large and had a small sink adjacent to the microwave and fridge. I noticed there was some white residue caked on that faucet and it looked like it might need some cleaning. I decided to just use the bathroom sink to wash my daughter's cup. Besides that the room was clean and I appreciated that they use a duvet and have a sign that they use fresh linens for every patron. The breakfast was awesome, there was fresh fruit, hot oatmeal, waffles, potatoes, turkey sausage, eggs with ham and cheese, breads and pastries. The staff was so friendly and there was a member of the management office who came by to say hello and she even cleared people's plates. She talked to a lady at the next table who needed directions and she printed them out for her and gave her the no freeway route as requested. I truly have to say that the customer service was fantastic and for that reason alone, I would be happy to return again.
