Hampton Inn Jacksonville Beach/Oceanfront

I am a frequent Hampton Inn loyal customer, so I have stayed in a few beachfront Hampton Inns. If I compare the Hampton Inns in Pensacola Beach and Jacksonville Beach, this hotel wins with the best pool. Actually, this hotel had the best pool I have seen in any Hampton Inn...But Pensacola Beach wins for tone. This hotel has you sign towels in and out, the breakfast was not desirable and there was a tone that you were going to steal something. At the same time, many of the guests were gobbling down all the free cookies and coffee they could get their hands on. You can tell they were dealing with guest that were not accustomed to such a nice hotel. One young girl rubbed the tongs for the free cookies across her shirt before taking several cookies. Even the alarm clock, when I unplugged it to charge my devices, had a safety on it to prevent people from stealing the plug. Otherwise, this was a GREAT hotel and the beach was AWESOME!!! We will go back again, but the breakfast has much to be desired and the staff was extremely nice, but I was not given that royal Hilton Honors member treatment. Maybe they will earn a five star on my next visit...
