The breakfast was awesome, rooms were nice except our shower door wouldn’t keep closed, I had to hold it with my foot. Also the bathroom door kept closing by itself. It’s almost like the room was tilted.

I’ve stayed in hotels across the US and internationally from unique gems to large chains so I tend to walk into a Hampton Inn with pretty clear expectations, clean, reliable, and a solid breakfast to start the day. Unfortunately, this particular Hampton Inn near the market areas someone are inconveniences that impacted the overall stay.
Location why is the hotel sits right at the end of the freeway exit which might inconvenient on paper in reality it’s anything but making a right turn into the property feels unnecessarily dangerous to the traffic flow of visibility to add to that the hotel is located next to a strip club called Expose, which may not be ideal depending on the type of state you’re planning special for families of those expecting a more relaxed, family, friendly environment near Seaworld.
Went inside things didn’t improve much the room initially look modern enough, and the bed appeared new, but looks to be deceiving the mattress feel thin and unsupportive almost like sleeping on a pullout couch cushion, and every small movement came with the squeak for a brand that usually delivers on comfort this was a letdown, especially for travelers who rely on a good nights rest. The bathroom design introduced another unexpected frustration. The lighting is set on a motion sensor, which might sound energy efficient, but in practice it’s for the implemented while soaking in the bath tub. The lights would shut off another after just a few minutes of inactivity leaving you in

Generally the property , rooms and facilities were ok for a Hilton resort.
Issues:
First time the hotel charges account including incidentals before guests arrive to actually check in and before even the check in time. If guests wish to use a different account hotel will reverse the charges however charge the new account ( so be ready for double charges).
After the first day the main elevator is out of service, second day second elevator is out of service , stair ways have key access on both ends and potentially can lock in guests without a key, also access sensors were that good. Hotel had a single (very slow) working elevator for a not so busy 3floor hotel for an entire weekend. Guests would have to hike the entire hotel length to get an elevator or potentially get locked out in stairways.
The pool temperature was too high , muggy. Hot tub oven didn’t work.
Pros:
Generally clean hotel and rooms. Breakfast was a plus but menu/items are the same for 3 days in a row with sometimes fewer items.
Location:.
Location is ok within the vicinity of Sea World, though the block it is in is further and not as clean as some of the closer hotels to Sea World.
The hotel does have a potential to have a very good rating on Expedia/Kayak etc but with issues, maintenance and location. It’s ok to good at best.

Super friendly staff. Delicious and tasty breakfast, very surprised to see the multiple options available, from oatmeal, waffles, eggs, sausages, and egg white omelets. Coffee was extremely fresh made and delicious. This is the place to stay if you’re visiting SeaWorld or surrounding areas. The only thing is that you gotta pay for parking space $25 bucks, but other than that super quiet area.

The facility was clean, updated, and the room was very spacious. The fixtures were excellent, and the overall design is among the best you’ll find at this price point.

Our main concern was noise. We could clearly hear footsteps from the room above, as well as significant noise from neighboring rooms. We also noticed that doors opening and closing throughout the floor were quite loud.

We really wanted to give a fully glowing review, but the thin walls and overall noise level could be an issue, especially for light sleepers.

The hotel itself was fine. If you picked it up and put it somewhere else it was have been great. The room size was large and the breakfast was nice. The neighborhood on the other hand was not great. The Nextdoor neighbor is a strip club. We got gas around the corner and the amount of unhoused people was astounding. We live in San Francisco so we are not country bumpkins. We were traveling with 3 children and it wasn’t fun having to explain what an all nude review was to them.I definitely wish I had done some more research before booking.

The breakfast was probably the best I've ever had at a Hampton. Good variety and everything was well stocked. Minor request - make some of the bacon crispy and the sausage patties well done. :-)

This hotel was a solid choice! It’s clear it was recently renovated and the renovations are nice, just an older building. The breakfast was actually really good! They have waffle stations and muffins with sausage, bacon, and eggs. Pretty decent! The only criticisms I would have is the water temperature of the shower was not quite warm enough and the hallways are a bit crowded at times. But we had a really nice time!

great stay! new and clean facilities,
welcoming staff and heated pool. enjoyed the “coffee table books” and all the comfortable seating in the lobby. good variety for breakfast.

con: not the most attractive location surrounding the hotel (a little more industrial) but still very accessible (short drive) to a lot of desirable areas/destinations. but this was greatly outweighed by all the things we loved about the hotel. would gladly stay again.

Check in was good no problem at all. After checking in we decide to grab a coffee. When we got the coffee the cups did not seem very strong. When we were going back to the room my daughters cup started bending and making the hot coffee fall on her hand. I asked for a clean up and some ointment for the burn. Never did staff do anything to help us in that area. Then the sofa bed did not have clean sheets. I asked for them and it took them over 2 hours to get them to us until I let them know it was 9 and my daughter was tired

Overall, excellent choice for a hotel stay. The staff is friendly, and our room was cleaned everyday. The breakfast is decent and the hotel is clean. The location of the hotel is pretty good as well. It is minutes from Mission Beach and Sea World. Close to shopping and a few fast food restaurants. The reason for 4 stars is only because parking is not included with the room. It is $25/day. In my opinion, there is no good reason to charge for parking in their own lot.
