**Hampton Inn Washington, North Carolina - Stay Review**…read more Overall, I had a very good stay at the Hampton Inn in Washington, NC. **Check-In & Staff:** Due to issues with the digital key system, I checked in at the front desk and used a plastic key card throughout my stay, which was no problem. The night shift front desk attendant was exceptionally friendly and helpful--she's truly an asset to the company. She also thanked me for being a Gold member, which is something I rarely hear at check-in, so I appreciated that extra touch of recognition. Impressively, she was also the one who handled my checkout and addressed me by name, maintaining her professionalism from start to finish. **Cleanliness & Maintenance:** The hotel is very clean, which is one of the first things I noticed. Some remodeling is underway, so the pool and exercise room were closed, but I don't typically use those amenities, so it wasn't an issue for me. **Room Details:** My room was ample and clean, with a standard bathroom setup. The towels were thinner and smaller than I'm used to from this brand, but they were clean and sufficient. There's a hair dryer in the bathroom and a closet with an iron, hangers, ironing board, and a cotton blanket or similar. There was no luggage rack, but a wall-mounted coat hanger near the entrance was a nice touch. The room includes a coffee maker, refrigerator, and microwave--though the microwave did not work well (couldn't even pop a bag of popcorn). There's a small shelf area for storage, a desk with a desk chair, and plenty of lighting--four lights total, including a double lamp. The room also has a TV and conveniently placed power outlets with USB and USB-C ports. **Lighting & Noise:** Light-blocking was mixed. The bottom of the door was well-sealed, requiring a firm push to fully close it, but it did not close automatically. The sides of the door and the edges of the window coverings let in noticeable light. Hallway noise easily filled the room; there was little sound dampening. **Breakfast:** Breakfast was acceptable with some variety each day. - Day 1: Scrambled eggs, chicken sausage, grits - Day 2: Bacon, cheesy omelets, oatmeal - Day 3: Western omelets, sausage slices, breakfast potatoes, grits Blueberry and regular waffles were always available, along with breads, coffee, and other breakfast staples. The coffee bar was always stocked and never empty. One of the best features was the grab-and-go breakfast bags with a bagel, apple, peanut butter, and more--very convenient for guests in a hurry. **Other Amenities:** There is a small lobby shop with snacks and drinks. It was low on stock during my first two nights, but it was restocked by the morning of my last day with candy, sundries, and beverage options. **Summary:** Despite some minor issues like the microwave and light/noise concerns, this was an overall excellent stay. The staff, especially the night shift front desk attendant, elevated the experience with outstanding service. I'd definitely stay here again.

Do not book this hotel using a third party booking service. They didn't honor my reservation made…read more1 month in advance, and paid in full with confirmation. Front desk was less than helpful.
