Hampton Inn Bartow

This is the third Hampton Inn we have stayed in in Florida in the last 10 days. I have to say that I have been disappointed in all three. Hampton Inn used to be a reliably decent hotel. Two of the rooms smelled dirty (Tarpon Springs and Lake Wales). In this particular hotel, the room looked clean but it was not. My shoes stuck to the floor in the bathroom so I had to wash the floor. When I got in bed the pillow smelled like greasy dirty hair--obvious not changed from the last guest. I had to clean the bedside table. The dirty pillowcase was my last straw with Hampton Inns. I know it is hard to find help but Hilton needs some quality control. At least the front desk staff was very nice.

I have just made a reservation to stay for a week at the Hampton Bartow. (this will be the week following the big aviation convention called "SUN & FUN". I was quite surprised to see, in looking at the review summary, it got only two stars. I find it hard to understand that - going thru other guests reviews confirms they shared my experience; simply an outstanding place in every respect.Certainly not the cheapest in the area. But in this part of Florida, it is certainly true "you get what you pay for".

Updated hotel located just off the main hwy 98 in Bartow. Several fast food restraunts next to the hotel (mcD, Kentucky fc, smoothy), great seafood restraunt across the road from the hotel - Charm City Seafood. Parking is to the front and sides of the hotel, elevators just off the lobby. Quiet area, but nothing much within walking distance, small ***** mall behind the hotel with $ General. Publix shopping center about .5 miles south on hwy 98. Four floors, room typical layout, air conditioners worked well, but rooms were stuffy at first. Rooms are a 60/40 carpet and vinyl plank although furnishings have minor wear. Pool at rear is nice and mixture of chairs and cushion bebches, towels available at pool exit door. Staff were exceptional and welcoming, some of the nicest i have experienced. Gretchen, the breakfast hostess was wonderful and super attentive. She provided a delicious selection for breakfast and was always there to help. Overall, a nice hotel if you're in the area.

Hotel was very clean and all the staff members including, Liah is very professional. The room, pool & lounge area was good. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It was & is worth every dime. Book ASAP.

This is my third stay here. All three stays have been fantastic. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms, great quiet location and great price. I only had breakfast here on my last visit which was last week and it was perfect. No complaints here. Gym was convenient and clean.

Very nice property, we enjoyed our stay, very clean! Rooms are nice, Very close to shops and stores! Family wasn't far away, it was easy to visit, perfect location. Breakfast was wholesome and hot, Thank You!

I've stayed at this location several times for soccer tournaments. It's below par for Hampton but still decent. Compared to other hotels in town its Luxury! A bit worn it could use a remodel/refresh.

I always choose to stay here because it's always clean. Staff is friendly and restaurants are close by. One of their exit door lock was broken and appeared to have been broken for a while. Please fix your door lock so guests don't need to walk around the building to enter. I'll be back soon!
