2 reviews for Hampton Inn Bennington, VT
my husband travels a lot and he gains reward points from hilton chains, that said weget some free stays at Hampton Inns....so Ive stayed at a few to say the least.
this one in particular is pretty nice. I like the floor in the front desk area and the dark oak like wood in the bathrooms.
all in all my hampton inn reviews will be based on other hampton inns, not hotels in general.
The Hampton Inn is the newest place to stay in Bennington. All of the (much lovelier) local bed & breakfasts and sleepy inns are in awe of the Hampton's indoor pool & sauna, but if you're going to "leaf-peep" your way across VT (or tend to come to town for business, like me) you should experience some real VT charm and stay at a small, family owned place.
That said, the Hampton does its best to be personable. One morning during free breakfast the manager strolled around and said hello to every guest. I found it kind of uncomfortable but the grandparents and middle-aged biz men seemed pleased. The breakfast servers were very sweet, as was housekeeping.
The rooms are standard Hampton fare, though they do feature Hampton's new improved beds & bedding. If you want a king sized bed, though, you have to sacrifice a tub and have just a shower. This makes no sense to me, but if you book two doubles/queens, you get a tub. What?
Also, this Hampton (perhaps because it is so new) does not qualify for Hilton Honors point when you stay there. What is the point of enduring Fox News during free breakfast for five workdays in a row if I don't at least rack up some points to use at nicer hotels??
(Worth noting that there is a grocery store & Chilis within walking distance of this hotel. But stay at a B&B, really.)
