I'm one of the few who liked it, but I miss the old Hampton Inn at the ABQ airport. Nice folks, nice property, almost always got upgraded.

Hampton Inn Atlanta Marietta has two buildings, the main building is inside entrances, the second building is outside. They list both on the web site, outside entrance rooms are usually a little cheaper. Have stayed here, inside rooms, decent hotel. Usually pretty busy.

What was that hotel originally? I don't think it was built as a Hampton... but no idea what it was... one of few non-original build Hamptons I believe. It was actually okay, but the neighborhood did not feel so safe, like much of that part of Albuquerque. I think it was actually fine though.

Now if memory serves, the front staff mentioned it was one of the first Hampton Inns to open, but I could be mistaken.
OT, but for those that stay near the airport, give Cervantes a try, especially around the Halloween time frame.
Fantastic food with owners that go crazy with decorations for the holiday.

I stayed there (HI Fayetteville, NC) for 1 night about 2 years ago while on a road trip and it resembled more a Days Inn than a Hampton Inn.

I think I stayed there about 14 or 15 years ago. Weird. I remember almost nothing about that one and only night I ever spent in ABQ other than the fact that I stayed in a HI with outside doors.

Interesting from reading tripadvisor reviews, this comment stuck out to me.
"This is one of the last Hampton Inns with outside entrances. The manager told me that this has led to the loss of their franchise at the end of January 2017."
Could Hilton be enforcing brand standards with Hampton now and thus all exterior Hampton's will be de-flagged?
