Questions:
1). Every room at Hampton so far has had bathroom door that slides horizontally with gaps on the sides wide enough to be able to peak through. My younger child has had a field day with this, while the rest of the family is a bit nervous to use the bathroom. Is every Hampton (or newer Hampton?) bathroom designed this way?
2). When you check in and they offer a free choice amongst different snacks (coffee chocolate bar, cookie, water, etc), are you only allowed 1 item for your party? Or can a family of 4 take 4 things? Really love that coffee chocolate and wish we could take more than 1, but I didn't know the policy and didn't want to ask. I asked for the coffee chocolate, was given just 1 which was promptly gobbled up by my kids.
1. I'd say newer Hampton's are 50/50 with the "barn door". Traveling alone, I couldn't care less. Traveling with kids, its a huge pinch hazard. If yours had gaps on all sides, it's probably installed incorrectly. I haven't seen one hung that poorly, but there is typically a 1" gap at the floor to allow for supply air for the exhaust.

2. Just ask for more. What's the worst they could say?
