I dreaded staying at that property when I first passed by it as it did not look appealing from the outside, but the room I was in was actually quite nice and comfortable. It was clean, well-appointed with a microwave oven and a mini-refrigerator, a nice bed, and everything else one would expect to find in a newly-renovated Hampton Inn property — yet the room rate was inexpensive. I believe it was US$63.00 per night, not including tax. The staff was friendly, also.
I would recommend this property.

Hampton has motels?
Wow, I registered for a Hampton Inn in Clarksville sight unseen, I think the webpage image showed the facade front and the breakfast area? Imagine my surprise when I pulled up to a Motor Inn/Motel. The doors open to the parking lot and no central lobby entrance.
I didnt know these were in their inventory, I gotta pay closer attention.

I think one of the Hampton locations in San Diego (near the Sports Arena) is a motel-style building.

Perhaps you should ask for a 100% Hampton Satisfaction Guarantee refund.

Not all of them, but the poster upstream is correct; Hilton is slowly getting rid of them.
(Although one of my favorite stays -- the Hampton at the ABQ airport -- is outside corridors)

I actually just stayed at the Hampton Inn Phoenix/Tempe. It's not a motor inn....it's an actual converted apartment complex, with hallways opening to the parking lot. It was decent, but very odd.

Hampton Inn Chattanooga I-75 has an old building that is exterior access and a (slightly) newer building that is interior access. Even if all rooms were interior access, this would be about the worst HI I've ever stayed at. Needs to be de-franchised with a quickness.

There was a time when all Hamptons were Motels. Now they only build Hotels. Mississippi is full of them and if the address is in the mid-west, the probability is high. Really it is not a problem though if the service and cleanliness is there. Actually there is a benefit to backing up to your door.
Not like they are Motor Inns in the Hilton brand.
