Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean and spacious. The only problem was operating the controls on the heating/cooling unit in the room. Ultimately, just turned it off.

Pet odors both times I stayed here....
I stayed at this hotel 2 times this month and both rooms had the scent of "dog" - I asked the front desk if they had rooms designated for pets. She replied no - all the rooms are allowed to have pets. This is unfortunate for those who of us who have allergies to pet dander. Also for people who have reactive airway disease -- scents can trigger respiratory distress reaction. I know many hotels have designated floors or rooms for pets and I get that. I was very disappointed to hear that this Hampton Inn in Palatka allows pets in ALL rooms. Disappointing! Otherwise the stay was good. This hotel is starting to show wear and tear but it's still the nicest hotel in Palatka.

You want to check in? Just wait…
I never leave negative reviews, but having to wait 20 minutes to just have a chance to check in, particularly during early evening, is ridiculous.

Beautiful hotel in front of the water. Nice rooms, excellent bathroom, very clean. Breakfast was included; I need to eat gluten free and there were not carbs gluten free, it will be my only suggestion, to add gluten free muffins or similar upon request. Very recommended 👌

A Hidden Gem
We are happy to have selected the Hampton Inn in Palatka. We booked 3 rooms for our family to go to the Palatka Craft Beer Festival, which was happening right next to the hotel. We were able to check-in early and not miss a minute of the festival. The staff were very pleasant and the hotel in very nice condition. We will book there again. BJ

East Palatka Hampton
This Hampton property was wonderful. Although, they could not take my AAA card for the discount because it was booked through a 3rd party. Next time I will book directly with the property. The staff were wonderful, accommodating, friendly, and went beyond duty to make sure our stay was great! The bathroom is equipped with all the soap, shampoo, condition, hand soap, and body lotion you need. They are health conscious products that are clean and natural. Love that! Will stay here again for sure. They have a nice full breakfast as well. The only thing I can say, is the toilet seat was loose. We only stayed one night and told the front desk. They sent someone to fix it right away. I do have maybe one complaint about the property, they only have two luggage carriers to bring the bags to and from the car to the room. So, when I went to check out, I had to wait 15 minutes to get a cart to load our “stuff”. Other than that a five star rating for sure! Love the Hampton.

The staff themselves was amazing! But the hotel was not upto Hampton standards! I was executive housekeeper for Hampton in Tenn for 5 years and was very disappointed in this hotel. The duvet cover was stained, bath tub had no water pressure and could not use the tub because water would constantly drain. There was no microwave in our room and every hotel i have ever stayed at even the run down ones at least had microwave but I was informed that only the suites had them and at 180$ a night for a basic room I would at least expect a microwave.

Newer on the river. Staff was great. Thermostat didn’t work. Had to unplug unit to control the temp. Was told that all rooms were this way. Not sure that I believe that. TV is in the middle of the room not facing the bed or couch and not on a swivel. We were in a handicapped accessible room but the switches in the toilet/shower room were inside and behind the door. Not sure who designed or approved this. But almost unable to reach if you had disability or in a wheelchair. Great view of the river.

Nice staff and close to the river. We came out for the Blue Crab festival so it was super convenient and a nice to have a place to cool down. It was a little challenging to get to the hotel since so many roads were closed for the vendors. I'm sure when the festival is not happening it is really easy to get too. We might come down another weekend to visit the state park near by and explore the river walk and town a little more.

Never to return
Room floors are filthy, water was in the bathroom floor, used bath mat to wipe up, absolutely filthy. These floors haven’t been moped forever. After room service we weren’t given a replacement bath mat. The breakfast room ran out of coffee at 8am, seriously??. The woman at checkout was not friendly and mentioned it was the end of her shift, very apparent. No water available in the room, nor in the lobby except for purchase. The breakfast attendant on 4/6/22 was very friendly and conscientious.

Lost reservation
Went to checkin and our reservation was lost. The front desk staff was unable to help. They said the hotels.com confirmation number does nothing in their system, it would have to be a Hampton confirmation number. She suggested we call hotels.com but said they were sold out anyways so it would not secure us a room. We went elsewhere for the night. I do feel like the front desk staff tried to help, she looked through all the reservations and apologized. It seemed to be a system failure between hotels.com and Hampton.

The bed was extremely comfortable & as well as the lounge chair that was by the window. There were more then enough outlets around the room so I always had somewhere to charge my phone & laptop. Check out was just as pleasant as check in! The only thing I hated was leaving!
