Bottom Line
This 113-room property on the bay covers all the chain hotel basics: Clean, comfy, modern furnishings; free Wi-Fi and breakfast; and sunny, attractive indoor and outdoor pools. The location is great for convention-goers—right near the convention center—but across a busy six-lane highway from the beach, and a 20-block walk to the boardwalk. Rooms are big and contemporary, if generic.

Scene
A modern mid-range chain that appeals to convention-goers
Laminate floors, vivid blue carpets, and contemporary design give the hotel a sleek feel. Compared to some weary-looking nearby hotels, the exterior looks fresh and new. Inside, the lobby and public spaces are tasteful, with ocean-inspired decor in blues, whites, and dark woods. The pool deck, fitness center, and lounge are sunny, pretty, nicely furnished, and not insanely busy.
The hotel has a hushed, grown-up feel, and a generally older and business-like crowd to match. This is not a place to head for a party, although beach-goers looking for a low-key vibe away from the partiers and loud families found farther downtown may appreciate the more elegant atmosphere.
Location
A bayside location right near the Roland E. Powell Convention Center
Located on the main six-lane highway that runs through the heart of Ocean City, The Hampton Inn is directly on the Isle of Wight Bay, and surrounded by hotels. It's besides a Bank of America, a bus stop, a seafood restaurant, and the convention center, but there is little else within walking distance.
The location is ideal for business travelers who need to be close to the convention center. About a two-minute walk across the street from the beach, it’s not a bad spot for beachgoers, but there are similarly priced properties located directly on the beach. A free shuttle takes guests to the boardwalk.
Rooms
Spacious rooms with contemporary decor
Rooms are clean, fresh, and modern. They have ocean-inspired artwork and contemporary furnishings that are a touch more sleek than those found in most mid-range hotels (think oversized wooden headboards, modern lamps, and chairs upholstered in blue fabric with funky patterns). Amenities include coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. Suites include sleeper sofas, bar sinks, refrigerators, and microwaves. Bayfront rooms have beautiful views. Great lighting and large windows make already-spacious rooms feel expansive. Some rooms have private balconies overlooking the pool.
Features
Great free breakfast, pretty pools, and free Wi-Fi
Hampton Inn has one of the best free breakfasts in the area: Waffles, bacon, eggs, and daily specials are a great start to the day. Breakfast bags are also available at the front desk for guests who prefer to take their food to go.
The indoor and outdoor pools and their adjacent whirlpools are up-to-date and pleasant, though some guests have complained that the water temperature of the whirlpools is too cold. The view of the bay is beautiful at the outdoor pool and tiki bar. The fitness center offers free weights and modern cardio machines. Free Wi-Fi and a free shuttle to the boardwalk are welcome touches. A small convenience store in the lobby sells ice cream, laundry detergent, sunscreen, and other useful items.
