Hampton Inn Murrells Inlet/Myrtle Beach Area

We stayed here for one night on the evening of Night of a Thousand Candles at Brookgreen Gardens. Perfect location. Nice stay. The highlight was the breakfast attendant, Chris. He was noticeably helpful on his shift the next morning. We observed him taking much care in his work and he seemed genuinely happy to be there. Sadly, it's so rare to see an employee doing such a great job these days. We need more workers like Chris! :)

We were very disappointed at the state of this hotel during our recent visit. We've stayed here probably 3 times in the last five years and have always been delighted with the cleanliness of the rooms and the atmosphere of the hotel. This time, we found the rooms not so clean, with many details neglected. The beds were saggy and the rooms dark (not so many lamps, and the lamps no so bright). The bathroom was worse. The grout in the floor looked dirty, there was rust on several fixtures, and the toilet ran and ran and ran. The wallpaper in the bathroom had several dirty spots. It just looked old, like it needed to be renewed. On top of that, the first night we were there, the people next door kept us up with loud talking and screaming. We tried to call down to the front desk but the phone in our room did not work. We had to walk down to the desk. No one was there. We had to wait. No one was at the desk any of the times we were there the next day, nor when we checked out. The breakfast was fair, not spectacular. Powdered eggs, lots of breads. Lack of attention, yet the prices are higher than local VRBO's. We won't be back.

Pretty good hotel overall. Large rooms, comfortable beds, everything in good shape. Free breakfast was reasonably good quality. Plenty of parking, not much road noise. Mobile check-in feature worked great. The only negative was staff seemed to be few and far between; I don't think I ever saw someone at the front desk. Also the rooms could use a chair, chaise, or couch.
