I've never had a bad experience at a Hampton and this stay was no exception…read more A great location at a busy intersection so it's easy to find but this place is very popular, it seemed to be at capacity on a Wednesday. I learned that E-City is home to the single largest US Coast Guard Station in the US so...it made sense when I saw all the service people in their unis. The staff here is exceptional, very friendly, professional and motivated to make you feel welcome and comfortable. The breakfast was good as usual and they have 24 X 7 coffee service which was great.

My wife and I were in town on a business trip and had our dog with us, so we typically choose…read moreHampton Inn because the brand is usually very consistent, clean, and well maintained. Unfortunately, this is probably the roughest Hampton Inn we've ever stayed in. I want to be fair because the staff were all friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. We have absolutely no complaints about the people working here. The property itself, however, is in desperate need of a refresh. The carpets were stained, the bathroom felt dirty and worn, the soap dispenser wasn't even full, the walls were scratched and scuffed throughout the room, and the overall condition made the hotel feel tired and neglected. It simply doesn't reflect the standard we've come to expect from Hampton Inn. To make matters worse, the room rate was nearly $200 for a Sunday night including taxes and fees, and that didn't even include the additional pet fee. This was just for a basic king room. We regularly stay at a comparable Hampton Inn in Virginia Beach for about the same price, and that property is in an entirely different league. Based on the condition of this hotel, the value just isn't there. I sincerely hope the owners invest in renovating this property because the staff deserve a hotel that matches the quality of the service they provide. With some updates and better upkeep, this could once again be the kind of Hampton Inn travelers expect and appreciate.

The options for overnight stays in Elizabeth City are minimal. I chose the Fairfield Inn and Suites…read moreas I typically stay at Marriott hotels. Some Fairfields are nice and some are not so it is always a risk of what you will get. The hotel was pricier than other Fairfields. One of the elevators was out of service. From other guests, I was told that was typical here. The room I was assigned was on the road end of the hotel and next to the stairwell. While there will always be some level of noise in a shared living space like a hotel, there are better room options. I figured a way to minimize the road noise with keeping the room fan on. My first night, a group of high schoolers were at the hotel and kept changing rooms and slamming the doors. The second night, a group of little leaguers and their families were there and they decided to race up the stairs on both ends of the hotel and run the halls. Then these same kids were holding the elevator button so that it would not operate properly for other guests to use. I had hoped the hotel would have dealt with the unsupervised kids but they didn't. Housekeeping was also loud in the hallway. I thought it was the high schoolers the first morning but it was a group from housekeeping complaining about stuff rather than working. There was a group of at least 4 on the end of the hall near my room. The walls are very thin here. The cable lineup is on the smaller side so don't expect too many options. The water pressure was ok at first then would go low then ok for a bit then low again so no steady water pressure. I did not have much interaction with the staff besides the breakfast attendant. She was friendly and kept the food well stocked. The front desk was to be staffed 24 hours a day but it was rare to see anyone there. I would look for another option when I am in that part of the state again.

I usually at least wait to check out before leaving a review but I had to get this in while fresh…read moreon my mind. So many issues...I think this is an older hotel & if not, they should claim that. The room's a just plain hotel room, no special bells or whistles but updates are needed & doesn't really meet the Marriott standard. I am in a 2 queen standard room & was glad I got a 2nd bed option - check pictures of Bed #1. Not sure who could sleep on that. Then I went to sit down to do some paperwork & the desk chair went almost to the ground & will not come back up - broke. The tub stopper is broke off - glad I only take showers. And then I was in the bathroom & the light kept blinking like a strobe light - I think when the guest in the room above walks around, the light flickers (possible elec issues). Positives - There is a hot breakfast (haven't tried yet) and this location is conveniently located to tons of dining & corp chain shopping (Walmart, TJMaxx, etc)
