HAMPTON INNS: hotel selection is so subjective...but not this one !

My first experience with HAMPTON INNS was in Montgomery, Alabama and what a terrific experience!

The staff were very warm and yet very professional, in every part of the hotel. Quint, the hotel receptionist, was most effusive and informative about Montgomery. His eatery recommendation was spot on, the Texas Roadhouse. Every question, every request was met with the same enthusiasm and affable graciousness which seemed to be pervasive throughout the southern USA, south from Knoxville, TN.

Breakfast at the HAMPTON INN was a surprise in its selection, its freshness, its variety. At the Montgomery-Eastchase, it was made particularly appetizing because of the efficiency of Ms. Mona. She was wonderfully gracious in her "Good morning!" greetings to each guest breakfasting in 'her' dining room. You really felt that Ms. Mona was, in the words of another Tennessean, 'taking care of business!'

I don't normally write promos of any hotel but in the southern USA, I found a number of hotels to be much more personable and caring about their clientele than hotels in the northern USA and in Canada. The HAMPTON INNS are just great offering all kinds of extras: free parking, free Internet, free hot breakfasts, fresh fruit selections, hot coffee and tea throughout the day, clean, spacious rooms, complimentary toiletries if forgotten, ironing boards, HD TV with free cable and I probably have forgotten a few other things. AC is individually room controlled, bedding is high count cotton fibre, just super!

Finally, HAMPTON INNS offer guests the opprotunity of becoming a Hilton Honors member entitling one to bonus points applicable to room stays, gifts and so on, not to mention that they also offer stay incentives for every so many stays.

I have stayed with the HAMPTON INNS in every city south of Knoxville except in New Orleans where I chose a very historical, traditionally famous hotel. I will be staying with HAMPTON INNS a lot from now on in my tour.
