This HI, adjacent to Business Route 80, has convenient (~10 minute drive) access to downtown Sacramento, a very friendly staff, and a standard nice HI breakfast in the morning in a spacious breakfast area that is well-maintained during breakfast by attentive staff.

I stayed in two rooms; each was very clean and had all the basic amenities one would expect in HI.

My only complaint is that the interior soundproofing in the hotel is poor. Thus, the slamming doors when the early risers get up at 6 am woke me up; and I suspect I would have been able to share my noisy neighbor's tv habits if I had had one.

One side of the hotel looks out towards the Sands Motel, and a block or two away is the Surf Motel (both motels of the 40s-60s park in front of your room style). Yet those motels are in Sacramento, far away from both sand and surf. Odd.

For a one night stopover this was perfect! We had two kids under three years of age in tow and arrived around midnight. The front desk person was so pleasant and accomodating. We stayed in a very large suite. It may have been how tired I was but the bed was fantastic! The next morning breakfast was more than we could have hoped for. Perfect for two youngsters and two very hungry adults. I would say the neighborhood may not have been great for leaving anything valuble in the car, but there was a security person keeping an eye on things while we slept.

This was my first stay here at this Hampton Inn. Being a Hilton Honors member I usually stay at Hampton Inns and this was is typical of their brand. It is a clean hotel with professional staff. The rooms are spacious bedding is comfortable [I like Hampton's new bedding, nice comforters] room has a coffee maker, ironing board, coffee maker, mini fridge, and microwave. The high speed internet connection worked fine.

I needed to print some documents for work and for some reason the computer in the lobby would not print a PDF file of mine. I asked for help from the front desk and they allowed me to use their computer in their office. I was very grateful for their hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile for a guest.

Hamptons are becoming a favorite hotel of mine when traveling for some business -- good prices, comfortable rooms. This seems to be an older property, but well maintained and recently upgraded. The rooms and bathrooms are good sized, the bed comfortable, internet access is free, and the free breakfast quite good.
Friendly staff, clean, good value.
