Might be the nicest or 2nd nicest Hampton Inn Ive stayed in. The staff was great, very helpful with our late check and the facilities are excellent. Everything was clean and functional and the little game room made for a great break for the kids when the rain moved in.

Stayed here for an FRC tournament with 30 high schoolers. Heres what I liked: - spacious room with an extra out at the window where we stored suitcases (2 suitcase stands!) out of the way yet easily accessible - extra padded cubes for additional seating beyond the desk chair - night stand had a large pull-out shelf with built-in outlets that was perfect for storing tech as it charged - pull-out shelving in the bathroom plus an extra ledge under the mirror for placing toiletries. - Plenty of space for 4 people - extra counter space behind door for the coffee maker and mini-fridge storage. - large spacious dining room - large conversation area off the lobby was a great space to gather before and after meals - walking distance to the beach - tucked away by itself between two roads and an attractive pond. - a walking path that heads along the bluff runs right past the hotel. Access to the trail doesnt require crossing roads - within 1/2 mile from tasty restaurants - fast food and fine dining. - free toothbrush and travel toothpaste! I was expecting to have to pay but this was an unexpected and much appreciated perk. Things I would want to know about or change: - Beds were pretty firm. I was okay for 2 nights but my hip was aching during night 3 - again with the hooks in the bathroom - 4 people, 3 hooks. The math does not work. - they wont send housekeeping to your room unless you request it at check-in. This wouldnt be as big of an annoyance if I had been checking into this room personally. However, I was part of a larger group and checking in was handled by the booster club president. I doubt they asked her about housekeeping for each of the 20-ish rooms we needed. - friendliness and approachability of staff was hit and miss. - no coat hooks - this would be nice for beach towels or wet coats when its rainy - breakfast buffet room was very small and quite hot
