My spouse and I stayed at the Hampton Inn Front Royal over the Memorial Day weekend in
late May 2011. We booked a one-bedroom suite, which wasn't quite a suite
(number 103). There are only two of this room configuration in the
hotel. There was a separate bedroom and separate living room, but the
spaces were open to each other; it wasn’t possible to close the door to
the bedroom. The furnishings were typical Hampton Inn, but we felt that
the bathroom was nicely modernized with a wooden furniture-type piece
that housed the sink and held the towels. The bedroom area was sort of
interior to the hotel (without a window, making it dark), with the
living room area towards the exterior (with a window). My spouse left an
item of clothing in the closet, but we never got a call that it was
left behind, despite the fact that it was a tailored item unlikely to be
usable to someone else. As with most Hampton Inns, the free breakfast
buffet was included. Even as Diamond Hhonors members, we did not get our
complimentary bottled water and snack items). The hotel has a pantry
area where guests can purchase drinks, snacks, and toiletries (the price
was reasonable for the one personal care item that we forgot). The
hotel is located in the same parking lot as a McDonald’s and a health
club; there is also a convenience store with Dunkin' Donuts and Subway
areas inside (the Subway wasn't yet open in late May 2011). There isn’t
much to do in Front Royal; we stayed there so that we could dine at the
Inn at Little Washington (IALW), which was about 60 miles away (staying
at the IALW in addition to dining there, would have absolutely blown our
budget!). The Hampton Inn has plenty of parking and is well-located to
major highways. This hotel was nothing to write home about, but nothing
to complain about either; the suite only cost $10 more than the regular
room, which was a bargain in my opinion.
