Hampton Inn Mary Esther Hotel - Page 1

My wife and I just checked out EARLY from the Hampton Inn at Mary Esther. We originally booked a room at this hotel for four nights for the July 4th weekend.

When we first checked into the room at 3pm, my wife (due to her sense to allergies) noticed a moldy oder from the room. We went to the front desk to report the problem and they placed us in a different room. We checked the new room and come to find out - the same result with a strong moldy oder. We tried again to report the problem and the manager stated that it was normal for hotels near the beach to have that smell and that all the rooms will have the same smell. To alleviate the oder, they sent housekeeping to spray "febreeze" into the room.

With all this being explained to us, we decided to try to stay one night there to see how things were going to be. By 8 pm that same night, the "febreeze" wore off and the moldy oder returned. It was very tough to rest that night. The next morning, my wife and I started to get sick. I immediately went down to the front desk and checked out. With the 100% Hampton guarantee, we were not forced to pay anything. Instead, we ended up staying in a Candlewood Suite near the beach for the remainder of our trip.

This Hampton Inn surely does not meet the standards of other Hilton chains. I am a business traveler and frequently stay at Hilton hotels, but this is not worth your money. For a rate of $165 per night, you and your family only deserve the best.

There was nothing that I disliked about this hotel and basically, everything was to my liking and my husband's as well.

This hotel made me feel pampered: I didn't know they had free breakfast, but they did. I love staying at hotels with free breakfasts.
