Hampton Inn & Suites Outer Banks/ Corolla

8/10 Good
"We stayed for a couple nights and it was very relaxing, a nice getaway. Being right on the beach was perfect. The only complaint I have is that check in time was 4pm and we didn’t get into our room until 5pm because they didn’t have any towels in the room yet. I expressed to them we had our own towels and didn’t need them but they wouldn’t let us in the room."

"The room was exactly as advertised, in fact, it looked even better than the pictures. The property is very well kept. Complementary breakfast probably has to be one of the best ones in a hotel that I’ve had various options to choose from which I was surprised by. The check-in process was smooth and easy. The tiki bar on site was also pretty cool. The staff also was helpful in giving suggestions and ideas on where to eat would definitely recommend for another short stay."
