Bottom Line

The mid-range Hampton Inn & Suites Orange Beach is a modern, beachfront hotel that offers an unbeatable location in Orange Beach, with restaurants and shops nearby and the Wharf in Orange Beach within a 10-minute drive. Its 160 rooms are spacious and clean, with microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, though noise can be an issue due to thin walls. The heated indoor/outdoor pool and hot tub overlook the beach, and there’s a tiki bar serving drinks in warmer months. A free hot breakfast with eggs is served daily, but there's no on-site restaurant. It’s a solid value for beach-loving families and couples, but rates typically spike on weekends, so it’s wise to shop around. The Holiday Inn Express Orange Beach is also on the beach and offers cheaper rates over most dates.

Oyster Hotel Review

Hampton Inn & Suites Orange Beach

Scene

Modern chain hotel that showcases its beachfront views

This handsome, nine-story hotel situated directly on the beach is a bright and modern property that opened in 2011. The hotel naturally (and smartly) showcases its beachfront location as much as possible, with banks of floor-to-ceiling windows that allow guests dining and relaxing in the lobby’s breakfast area to enjoy Gulf views. An outdoor patio enables guests to eat outside listening to the crashing ocean waves. The lobby is bright and airy, with beige wood floors that match wood paneling on columns and ceilings. The same color appears on upholstered furniture, some of which have bright orange accents. The vibrant tangerine hue is also used on some walls, as well as rugs and ottomans. Even the hotel’s exterior is a beige/orange creamsicle combination. A paved pathway leads to the beach behind this contemporary, family-friendly hotel.

Location

Directly on the beach, 10 minutes from The Wharf at Orange Beach

The Hampton is situated directly on the white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico along Orange Beach’s main thoroughfare, Perdido Beach Boulevard. Several restaurants are only a few minutes’ walk away, as are a pharmacy and grocery store. Several other hotels, resorts, and vacation condo complexes are nearby as well. Adventure Island amusement park is a two-minute drive away, while Gulf State Park can be reached in seven minutes by car. The amphitheater and many shops, restaurants, and cinemas at The Wharf in Orange Beach are a 10-minute drive, while the stores at Tanger Outlet are about 20 minutes away by car. Pensacola International Airport and the Mobile Regional Airport are approximately 50- and 90-minute drives, respectively.

Rooms

Modern, clean, and spacious rooms with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers

Guest rooms use tropical pastel colors to push a beachy vibe. Bright turquoise blue dots the decor throughout, appearing on drapes, chairs, ottomans, and providing a contrast to neutral beiges and browns. Suites also have light green sleeper sofas in living room areas. But white tile floors, granite countertops, stucco walls, and brown wall-to-wall carpeting betray a bland, chain-hotel blueprint. Reddish brown wood furniture includes headboards, nightstands, and desks, while beds are topped with crisp, white linens. Spacious wood vanities are placed outside the bathrooms, which feature beige tile floors and walls framing the shower/tub combos. Bright green-and-blue striped wallpaper elevates the bathroom's overall look from basic.

Standard room options include King and Double Queen with inland, beachfront, and side (partial) beach views. Studio Suites have private balconies, as do some standard rooms. All rooms have 32-inch flat-screen TVs, microwaves, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, laptop desks, and free Wi-Fi, plus suites have wet bars. Guests should note that there have been some complaints of noise issues due to thin walls.
