We booked a suite for my family over 4th of July weekend thinking since it’s the Hampton is going to be big and just perfect for our family. Well we were wrong the only thing that suite had was a king size bed and a sofa bed the best western we stayed at before had a way better than this for half of the price and to top it off in the middle of the night the fire alarms went on and off for what felt 2 hours and nothing was wrong no fire. there was some technical issues. Overall will not be staying here again.

Parking was tight and homeless people are around parking lot and property. It is near a busy road and right off the freeway. Staff service and cleanliness were okay. The worst part of the stay was the fire alarm tripped off many times from 2am to 5am. Maintenance team and firefighters came and confirmed it was a false alarm, but they were unable to turn off the alarm and it kept going off every 5-10 mins. It was so loud which made it impossible to go back to sleep. My family only got 2-3 hours of sleep during our stay. Other people in the hotel either left the hotel early or preferred to sleep in the car. I wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

The indoor pool is small but great when traveling with kids. Breakfast was fresh and good with plenty of choices.

We chose this hotel since it was close to downtown and the boardwalk and although the property itself was ok, there were a lot of homeless people (unfortunately) hanging around in the parking lot. I have kids and felt somewhat unsafe going out to the car and around the premise. The staff was wonderful (esp Jordan at the front desk) who welcomed us and was very friendly and helpful. The pool was extremely small (an oversized Jacuzzi really) so that was disappointing. Breakfast was great with a lot of options! So good and bad but I do not think we would return.

Great place to stay for a family. Clean, friendly staff, great breakfast, pool. They were a bit understaffed so it was a bit hard to get rooms cleaned and towels exchanged but overall, no issues at all!

I don’t have anything negative to say about this place! Everything was great! The breakfast was wonderful, with omelettes, bacon, potatoes, waffles, muffins, and more! The kids loved using the pool at the end of our day and swam until bedtime! Everything was very clean, comfortable, and updated. I was concerned that we would hear the traffic noise since we were right above a busy street, but our room was quiet. We also felt very safe because the hallways are indoors and you have to have a room key to enter the hotel. Definitely will be back!
