Hampton Inn & Suites Fort Mill

“A very nice, modern hotel in Fort Mill”

I decided to try out this hotel for a quick overnight getaway. It's in a retail development off exit 85, which is under heavy construction, so be aware.

I decided to try out this hotel for a quick overnight getaway. It's in a retail development off exit 85, which is under heavy construction, so be aware. It's tucked in behind a shopping plaza and a Lowe's and not really visible from Highway 160. It's a newer, 6 story hotel with interior corridors. My room for this trip was 315, with two queen beds. Typically, I book king bed rooms when traveling by myself, but (according to online photos) king rooms have walk-in showers while queen rooms have combination tub units. The hotel has fairly modern furniture that's generally in good condition. The room was clean and comfortable. The nightstand design wasn't really to my liking - a bit too small, with a little pull-out shelf underneath, and since it's attached to the wall and not freestanding, there's no drawers or open storage underneath it. In-room lighting wasn't great either, with low wattage bulbs (even by hotel standards) and a small desk light that's short and would be completely blocked out with a laptop on the desk. There's no seating in the room aside from the desk chair (though king rooms do have an extra chair) Breakfast is a definite highlight of the hotel, with a wide variety of offerings including breakfast potatoes, and ham slices (which I much prefer over the more common sausage.) Staff service was friendly for my entire visit. The hotel has a fairly big outdoor pool and a nice patio area with fireplace and grill. The Hampton Inn & Suite Fort Mill is a clean, modern hotel with several resturants nearby. That modern vibe works against it in a few ways, in relation to the some of the lighting and furniture design decisions in the rooms. Regardless, it's a good choice if you're needing a hotel between Rock Hill and Charlotte, or as a base for Carowinds visits.
