I'm an Honors member and won't stay at any other chain. Fabulous mattress! Hampton and True we love. It's a shame that pets cannot be unattended in rooms. Other less considerates have messed it up for everyone and I get that. It's just that I traveled alone 130 miles for a Dr.s appt. that was scheduled before check-out time. My dog is a special needs animal so with no other choice I had to bring her. Not easy with my own health problems but I managed. I believe the policy should include provisions for certain situations (including verification of proof). Nothing against the lady at the desk when she told me and I know she's doing her job. Just a lil' grumble, and I'll return again and again because of quality, cleanliness and convenience for food items that are priced relatively low. Thanks for "listening"

Very nice place. Breakfast was good and the rooms seem to have been updated. Push button curtain movement and smart tvs. Clean rooms and inside pool. Only complaint would be the ability to hear everyone walking around. Can hear neighbors all night . All good, great place

Gave a 5 only because the beds are comfortable which means the most to a tired traveler, staff friendly, pool excellent. I expected better quality for fruit and sausage for breakfast. Most Hampton's are known for their excellent free breakfast. I suggest the Hotel Manager approve the purchase price to upgrade the breakfast items.

We stayed there last minute on our journey home this weekend. The staff was very friendly. The woman working the buffet ( which was the Best free breakfast we have had) was darling! We appreciated the holiday spirit of this location. The ONLY negative comment was that we could Hear the tv from the next room…. Not sure if that was a fluke Or if the walls run thin. Otherwise, we would stay here again!

A very nice place to stay when you are in Huntington it's not in downtown but everything is, like, a 10-15 minute drive away. The manager is a total all-star she made me feel very welcome and taken care of. :) It's within walking distance of one restaurant (Bob Evans) that wasn't too bad. It's got free coffee during the day and an included breakfast. The wifi was also easy to connect to. Also, turns out if you enjoy making very loud moaning sounds in the throws of passion for hours during the night this is the perfect place to book the room next to mine. The walls are very thin turns out.

Quiet little area, a taco bell and Bob Evans close by. Hotel staff were excellent. Pool and breakfast areas clean and ordered. One of the nicest Hamptons I've stayed in. Beds comfy and quiet at night.
