Hampton Inn & Suites Orlando North/ Altamonte Springs

I came across this Hampton Inn after reading negative reviews from a nearby Residence Inn and a post that recommended this as an alternative. So glad. This place is GREAT. Even though it’s a couple of years old it still looks and feels brand new. Everything is clean and in good shape and best of all every staff member I encountered from the front desk to the cleaning staff was very nice. There is a little store where you can buy snacks and frozen microwave entrees. Plenty of nearby restaurants.

Very clean. Nice staff. Comfy beds. Great free breakfast. I don’t have one negative thing to at about this hotel!

Great place to stay if in the Altamonte Springs area (right outside Orlando)!
It is walking distance to so, so, so many food places — both locals (yay!) as well as chains. There is also a pretty decent sized mall in about a 10 minute walk, and an outdoor plaza with a few outlet stores and yes, Whole Foods, on the way to the mall.
The hotel itself is pretty much like any other Hampton Inn, but considering this time the stay was a bit longer, it feels more accurate to see their positives and not so positives.
Breakfast (from 6am to 10am) wasn’t too extensive, but had the essentials. The chocolate chips were a nice little touch to put next to their waffle maker :)
There is also an outdoor pool that was open ²⁴⁄₇ (or at least there was always someone there, day or night). The water was chilly but I thought perfect considering the heat outside — it made it bearable to stand in the sun for over 10 minutes at a time. Towels are available right outside the pool area and they had a couple tables, a gazebo and plenty of sun loungers!
I noticed there was a gym, but surprise surprise, I didn’t even take the time to check it out. Hah!
The service was the cherry on top of the cake though! All the cleaning ladies were always smiling at the fact that I would (TRY TO) speak Spanish with them, since they all spoke it fluently (it is Florida after all). And I loved, loved, loved the fact that they kept me all stocked up on bathroom goodies — every day, they added an extra shampoo and conditioner on top of the regular stock. Sounds silly but it was a great deal to me, haha. I really appreciated it.
Very enjoyable experience.

On the surface, this hotel is great. Hot breakfast in the morning; clean, updated rooms; generally friendly staff. However, my experience here was unfortunately marred by an incident that was partially the fault of the hotel and also partially the fault of the company I work for. It’s still unresolved, though, which is seemingly how the hotel management would like to leave it.
I stayed here last month for a week on my company’s dime to assist with a new store opening up in the area. I was slated to share a room with an unknown coworker from another part of the state who was scheduled to leave the premises two days before me. However, when that day came he accidentally checked out, and upon his departure the hotel turned around and booked the room with a different guest instead of double-​checking and realizing that something was wrong («Hey! This room is booked by a major corporation for another two days!»). I had left for the day as I had to drive to another part of the state and back. Naturally, though, I did not check out, as I had planned on having the room for the next 2 days. I did not return until 2am to find out that this all had happened upon my roomate checking out. I’m lucky that I took most of my stuff with me because none of my remaining belongings were to be found. After talking in circles with a pretty unsympathetic night desk clerk, I was finally given another room and got less than 4 hours of sleep before returning to work the next day.
All of this could have been forgiven if I was not missing my external hard drive, and still am. I’m not worried about the money that it costs; I’m concerned about the 10+ years of important and priceless documents that it holds. Those are memories or pieces of work that I will unfortunately never get back. What saddens me is the lack of concern from the hotel staff or their inability to make it right. They swear up and down that they never had it, and the manager went to «check both of my rooms personally» a few days after I had left. Here’s why I feel that this is a cop-​out move. A) The items I had left in the first room were obviously not saved by any of the hotel staff, regardless of how minuscule they seemed (items in the fridge, toiletries, etc), so what makes everyone so sure that this electronic object had not been in the room and discarded, taken, etc. either? B) Manager checks rooms personally, and with housekeeping too. Great. How about the guests that stayed in the rooms after me? If the first room had not been thoroughly cleaned and inspected when my roommate «checked out», then isn’t it possible that the subsequent occupiers had stumbled upon it and never been questioned about it?
The shadiness regarding the lack of investigation and follow-​up is extremely disappointing. No one thought to contact either my roommate or myself about items left behind in the first room the day he accidentally checked out, nor did they bother to save anything (I don’t even want to think about what would have happened if I had decided to leave even more behind). So I have little hope that there was a thorough search for my priceless personal belonging days later. I complained to my company and I hope that they will refrain from using this chain in the future at all costs. I know I will. If the hard drive miraculously reappears I will naturally retract this review, but unfortunately I don’t see that happening, considering the incident took place almost a month ago. Thanks, Hampton Inn, for your lack of attention to detail, which has cost a potentially happy customer 10+ years of memories.

My boyfriend and I travel here 3x a month for his work and since we found this hotel I insist upon staying here. It’s brand new, looks brand new, feels brand new, i.e. The king bed is new and comfortable, the pillows are comfy. The bathroom is stainless. The king room layout is great and VERY spacious. I don’t work right now so having a spacious room for during the day and at night for when we are both there was very important to me. We used to stay at the Sheraton, which has some great amenities like roomservice and a restaurant on site, neither of which the Hampton have, but the beds are so old I couldn’t get comfortable. Not to mention the room layout it dated and cramped. They are only 1 exit away from one another but I chose to give up room service for a more comfortable night sleep. Plus I like this Alramonte Soribgs exit, lots of shopping and good food off this road. Cheers!

Very impressed with this hotel. I got lucky and got one of their suites, and loved how spacious it was. It appeared like there were updates made to the hotel recently too — looked very modern. What I loved about it most, and what almost matters to me the most, is how CLEAN it was! I was truly impressed, and trust me — it is very hard to impress me when it comes to cleanliness. A big shoutout to the cleaning crew — they did an amazing job. The breakfast is your typical Hampton Inn breakfast — has the basics you may need, nothing very impressive. If you want something else, there is a Waffle House and a McDonald’s very close, so you have some options. There is also a Walgreens at a walkable distance, which can be very convenient for travelers! All in all, highly recommend!
PS — If you’re sensitive to sound, you may want to pack some ear plugs. My room was at the end of the hallway, and I think it was the closest to the highway. The noise was not bad, but if you’re sensitive about noise, better be safe than sorry!

I’m loving my suite. Extremely spacious, clean and feels like brand it’s brand new. Great location as well. I think this room is better than the Hilton across the street… just saying. and I’m a Hotel snob.

I’m staying here quite a bit lately. Friendly staff and fair price. Close to downtown. Easy to get on I4. Breakfast isn’t my favorite but it’s included and they do the to go bags which is nice. Clean. Safe.

We stayed here for a wedding that was in Orlando – the venue was only a couple exits away so it was very convenient. We found the hotel was very easy to find and we felt safe on Douglas Ave. While the hotel doesn’t have a restaurant, it is right across the street from a couple restaurants so it’s no problem. The kids loved the pool and my mom and I loved the workout room. The equipment is new and they offer towels and disposable headphones. We spent about an hour on the treadmills and had a great workout. We enjoyed the continental breakfast in the morning, which wasn’t excellent but we never expect much from a hotel breakfast.
My only complaint would be the wi-​fi. I hoped to watch some Netflix when we returned from the wedding, but the wi-​fi wasn’t strong enough.

This is a new Hampton built a mere 30 feet away from the old Down & Out Hampton Inn, which is now a Quality Inn. This is a great location, right off I-​4 and close to many popular restaurants. The pantry area is fully stocked, from licorice to beer they sell it. The workout area is especially nice, complete with dumbbells and a weight machine. They upgraded me to a suite, which was huge by Hampton Inn standards.
