This is a solid 3 star hotel. For a small town, like Palatka, there's a surprising number of chain…read morehotels. I picked Hampton Inn based on its location near the river and feedback from my family, who lives locally. I checked in on the Hilton Honors app and requested a digital room key. That never arrived so I was lucky their desk is staffed 24-7 since I arrived close to 10 pm. The staff was very friendly and sweet. My room was fine. Two queen beds was the only option. That led to the room being a bit cramped with very little space between the beds and the TV. The bed was comfy as were the pillows and I had no issues with the fan or room temps. The room was mostly clean but the shower definitely had some hard water stains and a bit of mildew in the corners that needs to be bleached away. Otherwise the bathroom seemed pretty newish and clean. Honestly, I think Palatka just has weird water. The location along the river was wonderful and I enjoyed the sunrise over the fountains out back. There was free breakfast each morning which was fine. I grabbed some toast and eggs most mornings. I stayed for 4 nights which is about the most I can see staying. It was comfortable and no frills. Overall, if I needed a place to stay while in the area, I'd choose this again. No issues with noise and as a solo female traveler I felt safe.

It's located in the Heart of the historic district in Palatka, Fl. We got very lucky to be able to reserved 2 rooms for this past weekend a year ago for a wedding that we attended. We got there Friday night at around 8:00 pm and Mr. Tate was such a gentleman to assist us and guide us to our nice cozy rooms. The rooms where clean and very comfortable. We were 2 couples, Mr. Tate was very kind and made us feel at home not like customers but family guests. In the morning his daughter Abby served us an amazing breakfast She as well was very attentive and kind. We were there for 2 nights and on the second day before checking out we again had a great breakfast and after that Mr. Tate, gave us a tour of this magic place, so much history on this magnificent landmark. This is the first time that we stayed in a Bed and breakfast Inn. And truly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you very much Tate and Abby for such a wonderful experience We'll definitely be back

We came late evening and the lady who is boss there accept us showed everything, took our order for breakfast and we went to sleep!

I will post photos and you will see In the morning breakfast was ready on the big table in the special room and it was so cool. After what we got a small excursion in all build with an interesting story. I even didn't want to leave. Super cool place.

There is no elevator which is not a problem as there are only 2 floors. Our room was very spacious with a super comfortable king bed, coffee machine, flat screen TV and compact bathroom. The breakfast was was pretty good with the usual chain hotel offerings, and the staff were super friendly. There's a good seafood & steak restaurant right next door and another seafood & steak restaurant about a 5 minute drive away, otherwise you'll have to drive into Palatka.

Let me first state that I myself am in hospitality and realize how hard it is to please everyone…read moreand how difficult it is to assemble great employees. This industry is one in which your attention and capabilities to multi task are truly important being that there are so many departments in running a hotel. You need eyes and ears in the back and the sides of your head. This business, hospitality, is certainly not for the faint of heart and one in which taking ownership for mistakes and problem solving for those mistakes are extremely important and key to your success. Working in the industry of hospitality I can reason that sometimes things may not go so smoothly but it's how a business solve those errors is what separates a truly great hotel from one that doesn't. Corrine, the GM of this establishment, is truly special and always available. She welcomes one and all to convey if a guests stay was pleasurable or not. She understands that her personal reputation is at stake and will stop at nothing to please her guests. I couldn't be happier with her hosting abilities and GLADLY recommend her hotel to all guests. Please also consider that with her establishment's extremely competitive rates a person cannot possibly get more for what they pay for. It's truly amazing how her and her staff accommodate guests. I plan on many more stays here at the Sleep Inn and recommend it to one and all !!!!

Then when I was given my room, it wasn't even what I booked. I had to go back down to inform the front desk it did not have what I booked. They switched me to room 301. This door does not latch! When trying to go to sleep for the night, it took around 5 minutes to get it latched and locked. I felt unsafe.

This place used to be our go to place to spend a week. Over the course of the past 3 years we…read morevisited this resort from July 1-5 every year. Our friends and family also joined us and we booked 4 rooms including suites. The resort had a new owner when we initially visited in 2021 and several changes were to be made. The place could be really nice but it has taken its toll over the past 3 years. The owner has not done any upgrades as were promised. The furniture is falling apart and you can't even sit on it with having flakes left on your clothing. The floors and carpet in the main lobby are dirty and stained. The fish tank up front as well as the large koi pond are not cleaned and the poor fish inside struggle for air. There is black gunk and mold all over the glass, thick and hanging from the filters. You can't enjoy the pool because it is not cleaned and there are tons of bugs. It was so bad they even closed the pool several days. The mosquitoes and flying bugs outside are so abundant that you can't even enjoy the outdoors. So much for a relaxing water vacation! Trees were not trimmed and there were several overgrown areas which I feel contributed to the excess amount of bugs. If you walked around outside you were attacked by swarms of bugs. You literally had to hold your breath when walking thru them or you would swallow some. NASTY! The rooms were pretty clean overall but in poor condition. Furniture needed updating and there was no table or chairs in our suite. Just a bed and couch. The electrical outlets kept popping making it difficult to plug anything in. It is sad that this place is in a great location but nothing is being done to make it amenable. Upon leaving we were asked if we were booking for next year. When we said no and let them know why. They didn't seem to care. So we definitely will not be back. I suggest saving your money and possibly going to another nearby location. This could take a turn for the better. But it hasn't in 3 years. Not to mention the owner was not very friendly or concerned. A final note: The AC in the main lobby and several of the rooms didn't work well and the staff thought it best to turn it off. It was better outside on 104 heat than inside a supposedly cool resort with no pool access.

I've stayed at other motels but liked this one the best and they gave me a discount since I stay there so much. I have to be at another job in the morning on the opposite side of the state so I got done at this job about 11:30 am and called in and told them that I'd be leaving and needed to check out after I get my stuff. The tweeker looking chick that's been up for days with dark ass circles around her eyes like a raccoon, proceeds to tell me I'm getting charged for tonight since check out is 11. So I hung up on her, left the job I was on, went and packed up my clothes and went to the office to ask wtf. On the way down I see the house cleaner and ask her if she had been to my room yet she said no I just got upstairs and cleaning the room on the total opposite end of the building right now I won't be to yours for another while. So I wasn't stopping her from doing her job obviously. So now it's time to go to the offfice and it's her and the mgr guy probably the owner who tf knows said that yes if I stay past 11 then I'll be charged for that night. This mf tries to tell me I don't have the right to talk to his house cleaners. lol this is America mf and I'll talk to whoever tf I want to thank you. I wasn't stopping her from doing her job of cleaning my room for the next customer and you want to charge me the extra hundred dollars for tonight????. He wants to argue so I give back my special discount card and room key and walked tf out telling them I won't ever stay here again after paying my bill from the night before that I owed like a decent human being. Moral of the story: don't piss off your customers over an hour of time especially if it doesn't affect anything that you have going on because now it just cost you thousands of dollars over the next few years!!!!!! I hope the owner or investors reads this and fires both these assholes over lost clientele. Remember WE are the ones that pay YOUR FUKING BILLS!!!!!!!!!

You cannot see the water, or the dock with raggedy abandoned boats, unless you walk past the abandoned house, in the way of the view, through the soggy, bug-filled grasses to reach it. The dock has been closed due to boards being a hazard and/or work being done on the abandoned house boat. The bathroom for ladies is not safe as the door doesn't shut all the way and there's a measly hook and eye "lock" on the door. The outdoor lights go on and off. Sleep, on the weekends, is periodically interrupted by the noise from the diesel trucks of the intoxicated workers that stay there I had to buy ant killer/bug poison because the location sits basically one big ant hill. They will get in your rig, food or not. There were random dogs off leash most every day. Take care of your little ones. One of the long term residents stole another camper's small, cute tea cup dog that periodically ran loose. The cops were called for that huge fight. I witnessed one of the dog owners being thrown to the ground and dragged by her large untrained dog as it tore off to attack another dog. One of the large dogs jumped on me and shredded my legs with their unclipped nails. I will have a permanent scar from this incident. The dog owners always insist their dog is so nice. Someone left a dirty diaper next to the dumpster for 4 days. There is a long term father and son resident that can be heard yelling/swearing/fighting, usually in the morning, as the recluse son habitually abuses his father. The cops were called 3 days in a row to calm down the intoxicated girlfriend of one of the residents that was being evicted. The place is a dirty, bug-filled parking lot with homeless people and their untrained dogs infesting it. Make no mistake this was one drama filled month. And, the final straw was the owner not acknowledging my requests to return my deposit. Keep that in mind when they assure you that you'll get the deposit back at the end of your stay.
