Bathroom
87- “I opened up that vanity kit that I showed you and I thought this was really cute you have two cotton rounds two Q-tips and a teeny tiny little Embry board this thing is so stinking cute I thought that was a really nice touch” 115:39
- “to 11:00 p.m. you have your toilet unfortunately we have a shower curtain which is unfortunate but you do have shampoo conditioner and shower gel” 11
Food
84- “We know that a great stay starts with a great morning, which is why you can look forward to a delicious, complimentary breakfast to fuel your day of exploration.” 151:41
- “You also get the added convenience of a complimentary breakfast each morning, helping you save both time and money before you head out to explore.” 131:29
Location
87- “Context: This hotel worked best for me because it was close to Biscayne Bay National Park and Highway 1 to Key West, which was what I was looking for.” 1
- “Location is everything, and this hotel places you exactly where you want to be. Situated just a 35-minute drive from Miami International Airport, you can transition from a flight to your suite with ease.” 150:43
Room
85Service
88- “When I returned I opened the door and an envelope was slipped under the door with a card in it and it said something to the effect of "we hope and pray that your father makes a speedy recovery..." along with a gift card. From that moment on I became mostly loyal to Hilton as I felt that a lot of the staff cared more than they did at Marriott during the time I was really traveling.” 14

Bed & Sleep
88Nothing quotable yet on this one — the score leans on the rest of the coverage.
Value
84- “If you are traveling with family, this hotel is exceptionally budget-friendly as children aged 1 to 17 can stay free of charge.” 13
- “I like Home2 Suites for travel with family, but I actually think it's intended to be more a budget option than Hampton Inn. The extra space is good and they tend to be newer so sometimes the rate will be higher.” 14

- “we're not going to try it but it's a really nice room pretty big” On camera117:00
- “Again, we've stayed at some really good ones, and some that are not so good. We still laugh about pulling out the sleeper sofa at the Embassy in Savannah and finding a chicken wing bone.” 14
- “The room was very small and there was decent space for storage but it was very dusty also.” 1
- “I booked a 2 queen bed design room for my stay, which was very underwhelming.” 1
- “If it were me again...and I was just looking for a place to hang out with my cruise friends the night before.....I would save the money and stay at the River Park. Other than the dated decor...it was fine.” 2
- “some pretty artwork on the walls it's really nice it's big spacious room I like it” On camera114:15
- “River park is a bit off the water front so does not offer the immediate access to the shops and all the restaurants.” 2
- “Only downside there aren't really restaurants in walking distance so we eat at the hotel restaurant. I think it is pricey, but it is no more so than other area restaurants.” 10
- “We know that a great stay starts with a great morning, which is why you can look forward to a delicious, complimentary breakfast to fuel your day of exploration.” On camera151:41
- “I just got tired of the below average coffee and choices for breakfast and have switched to HGI or other nicer Hilton's.” 14
- “the breakfast was the traditional breakfast you get at Hampton ends waffles you know pre-made omelets you know yeah they did have they had meats and cheeses that was unusual we don't normally get Meats cheeses and croissants” On camera117:58
- “You also get the added convenience of a complimentary breakfast each morning, helping you save both time and money before you head out to explore.” On camera131:29
- “[na-delete] • 3 taon ang nakalipas We stay at Hamptons a lot - especially on road trips in the USA. There are also two Hamptons in NYC where we stay every time we are there. Consistently clean, decent service, free "breakfast" which may or may not be to your tastes.” 14
- “The food was pretty good, nothing special, but enough to fill you up after a long day of traveling and exploring. Overall, not a bad hotel dinner.” 1
- “River park is a bit off the water front so does not offer the immediate access to the shops and all the restaurants. Its a wee bit older but the rooms are bigger.” 2
- “Decent pool. Nice restaurant with a decent priced buffet. Also on the light rail so just hop of off to get to the waterfront.” 2
- “No usb ports except for the clock radio, breakfast was crap. I went over to H2S and Fairfield and both had way better breakfast.” 6
- “Home2 and Tru kinda sit in the middle of them if that makes sense? They're kinda newer brands, so they tend to be in nicer shape with more modernized and cleaner LOOKING rooms (old rooms are dingy, sorry), but like Hampton they only offer complimentary breakfast and a market in the way of food.” 14
- “If we really wanted to label it Hampton is more budget friendly, you get free breakfast and aside from the market that is your only food amenity. Typically very basic (usually outdated) rooms” 14
- “Are these considered to be the more budget Hilton Brands? We stay at Hamptons a lot - especially on road trips in the USA. There are also two Hamptons in NYC where we stay every time we are there. Consistently clean, decent service, free "breakfast" which may or may not be to your tastes.” 14
- “The room was clean, the lobby staff courteous and efficient, and the breakfast was very good.” 12
- “Check-in was smooth with professional staff that were a little dull and didn't seem like they wanted to do their job.” 1
- “so this is just his opinion we differ on this but super nice people at the front desk too” On camera112:51
- “When I returned I opened the door and an envelope was slipped under the door with a card in it and it said something to the effect of "we hope and pray that your father makes a speedy recovery..." along with a gift card. From that moment on I became mostly loyal to Hilton as I felt that a lot of the staff cared more than they did at Marriott during the time I was really traveling.” 14
- “The service at this property is alright. It isn't too bad but it isn't the best either. They are very professional but the staff are very tired.” 1

- “Consistently clean, decent service, free "breakfast" which may or may not be to your tastes. We've only had one bad Hampton experience out of literally hundreds of stays - Laramie, Wyoming. It was filthy and smelled like cigarettes.” 14
- “so I had my dad choose. Also sits on the canal which was nice to sit back and watch the ships move up and down.” 2

- “Hol Inn is getting the bang for its location.” 2
- “The brickell area also has a number of quite decent hotels and they are close to the metromover. We really enjoyed the Hampton inn Miami Beach...it was close enough to the beach we didn't need to have a car and there were tons of restaurants!” 10
- “to 11:00 p.m. we actually don't have a really pretty view but it could be because I'm only on the seventh floor I don't like to be super high up” 11
- “The bathrooms didn't look as appealing either and while I did appreciate the walk-in shower, it just didn't feel so clean.” 1
