Hampton Village Inn

Hampton Village Inn

8/10 Good
"Not a bad place. A little expensive for the location and how old it is, but I would stay there again. It is in town away from the beach area, which is good or bad depending on what you like, but an easy drive to the beach area and to Interstate 95. Plenty of restaurants and a supermarket within walking distance."
