So Hampton Inn Was Doing Suites Before 1995?

The Hampton Inn & Suites named was founded in 1995, yet there do exist Hampton Inn hotels built pre-1995 that also have suites in them.

For example, I live in Hendersonville, NC. The Hampton Inn in that town was born in 1987 (it's a four-story interior-corridor hotel, so it's still a Hampton), and it's on a bus route. Yes, you can get a suite at that hotel, and from what I saw online, it's a two-room suite because the bedroom has its own TV. Expect one king-size bed though.

All the way near the coast in Morehead City, there is a Hampton Inn from 1991, and it's also a four-story interior-corridor hotel, so it has an excuse to still have the name. It also has a suite, and online doesn't lie, it's a two-room suite because you can catch your favorite TV shows in bed. However, you can't get it with two queen-size beds.

I bet y'all are asking yourselves this question: how is this possible if the hotel doesn't have suites in the name?

To be fair, Hampton Inn doesn't build their hotels that way nowadays because if suites are included, they're studios and the two-room design for non-extended stay purposes are taken by Embassy Suites, Doubletree, and Hilton Garden Inn. A thread on that already exists, so I ain't repeating myself.
