My husband and I have been coming here for the past 3 or 4 years, but wow is it going downhill lately. This last visit, we decided to bring our 2 cats with us. We checked in through the app and was able to get to into our room with the mobile key option. We chose room 131. Once we got everything inside(a ton when traveling with animals) we realized how hot and muggy the room was. You can only put the a/c down to 64, but at 66, the room was stifling and wet. at 68, the heat turned on. We did not want to move everything to another room(if there was one available, this was a holiday week), so we went out and bought a small dehumidifier and kept the room at 64 the entire time. 64 about froze us out of the room, but anything higher was too hot. Our bathroom was pretty dirty, so I bought cleaning supplies and cleaned it myself. Dirt in the corners, mildew(that easily scraped off) and long dark hair in the shower. We saw housekeeping every day, but they must only be allowed a few minutes on each room, because it would have been easy to clean everything that was wrong with our room, if they had a little more time. The pillows were much better this time, but the mattresses are super super firm, almost painfully firm. We didn't eat breakfast at the hotel, so I cannot comment on the breakfast. We always enjoy the pool area, but the prices are becoming outrageous, and the bar is only open from 4pm-10pm, so you cannot purchase lunch at the pool. I will say every time we called or went to the front desk, the agents were all very, very friendly and did what they could to resolve any issues. I really hope management does something about the decline. I'm a travel agent and always send my budget-minded clients here, but I will have to be honest about this most recent stay. Read less

Average to poor quality of the hotel structure, cleanliness and upkeep. Free breakfast is moderately okay. Breakfast area did not have Air Conditioning working - too hot and muggy. Happy Hour beer drink costs are much higher than neighboring happy hour bars. Not worth the cost to stay here. I would not recommend to stay at this place. In future, I… Read more

The Hampton in Marathon,Fl., is just an ok hotel. Quality of the room is ok, air condition worked intermittently, and just when you thought it was working, it was only blowing the fan, no air condition. Room was ok, not the most modern, more like something from a Super 8. Breakfast was ok, not big selection, toasted did not work both days we… Read more
The Hampton in Marathon,Fl., is just an ok hotel. Quality of the room is ok, air condition worked intermittently, and just when you thought it was working, it was only blowing the fan, no air condition. Room was ok, not the most modern, more like something from a Super 8. Breakfast was ok, not big selection, toasted did not work both days we were there. They could go out to Walmart and buy a cheap toaster, but obviously they were concerned about whether you wanted toast or not. Had looked at the Hampton in Key Largo and it was a little less money and offered Free Parking. But wanted to travel a little further south. Our mistake was not checking the Parking fee at the Hampton in Marathon. They charged us $10.00 per day for self parking which is all they offered. So ended paying an additional $21.00 for self parking. Looked up Hampton Inn Corporate and they say the majority of their Hotels are free parking, just a small percentage charge. Since there is no other place to park, not sure why they just don't charge $10.00 more per room per night instead of trying to nickel and dime you over parking. I guess I would understand better if it were 5 star hotel, but this is Definity not! Read less

i have been coming to this property for many years and have loved it. This trip was not so good. At the breakfast bar , while the food was ok, the AC didn't work for the first 2 days, the toaster didn't work for the 4 days we were there. Now they charge you an additional $10 for parking per day.

I feel this is a ripoff. Most other Hilton properties will waive the parking charges if you have a handicapped hanger. Not this location. Again a ripoff. the Fairfield next door has no such parking fee. Read less

Well located on Overseas Highway & easily accessible to water/shoreline. Property is clean & well maintained. Maria at front desk has phenomenal customer service skills. Breakfast area one of the nicest we’ve experienced. Hotel room was everything I’ve come to appreciate about most Hilton properties. Nice pool area with tiki bar. We went out of our way to have a cocktail at the tiki bar upon returning to Hampton that evening , but to do it all over again, we would have remained at our dinner restaurant for our nightcap. My favorite area outdoors at this Hampton was a small deck seating area along the water where fish food is available. We did not get a chance to feed the fish, as an iguana appeared to munch on previously dropped fish food. Highly entertaining ! Room price was higher than I would have wanted to pay but I did have to consider location, Saturday night & spring break week. Read less
