Description: If you’re not particularly interested in going to the beach, the Hampton Inn might be for you. This two-story, 115-room motel just off US 278 at mile marker 5 caters to business travelers and people visiting the island for the golf of it. And if you do desire to take a dip in the ocean, the Atlantic is only a little more than a mile away at the Folly Field Beach access. There’s an outdoor pool for those who want to stay close by to do their swimming, an indoor putting green, and a small but well-equipped exercise room for the fitness minded. The Hampton Inn, like all other Hampton Inns, offers deluxe, complimentary continental breakfasts from 6 to 10 a.m. and free copies of USA Today. Some of the rooms have kitchenettes with microwave ovens and small refrigerators, and some have whirlpool baths. Ask for the family suite where a special children’s room is connected to a king suite. A special feature of the Hampton is the “afternoon snack” of fresh-baked cookies.
