Hampton Inn Moss Point

My HH account had a few points left, I cashed in and stayed at the Moss Point, MS Hampton Inn. I arrived after midnight and hit the deck immediately and slept like a baby.
The Hampton Inn is an affordable alternative to HGI. The Hilton brand is reliable. My experience includes consistently CLEAN rooms, professional staff, TASTY breakfast, free parking, all in convenient locations.
Hilton Garden Inn is my first choice when in need of over-​nite accommodations. Hampton Inn provided a relaxing, comfortable stay… I’ll add them to my list for future stays.

We stayed here during the Summer when we were headed to Florida. This is a newer hotel and well worth paying a little more for a night’s stay. The room was very clean and the shower/​tub was really big. Other than that the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. Breakfast is included and is excellent. We’d definitely stay here again.

With this (a) being a Hampton Inn and (b) being in Moss Point I had pretty low expectations when I found out I had to stay here for a night passing through town on business. However those fears were quite unfounded as this turned out to be a great hotel stay at a mighty fine hotel, even if it doesn’t have an exclusive zip code.
Immediately upon walking into the hotel you are struck with the tremendously pleasing smell of cookies. This awakes the mythological Cookie Monster inside of you and just puts you into a good mood. As the Earth starts to shake around you, you notice nothing but the cookies. All of the glorious cookies. The smell permeates the lobby as you later need to peel yourself away from the lobby and actually go up to your room eventually. But the smell slowly fades out the further you get from the lobby and a little piece of your Cookie Monster dies inside — not an important part like the nose or the tongue, more like an appendix or possibly back hair.
The woman at the front desk was incredibly nice and helpful and just all around awesome. She got us quickly checked in, let us know where everything was, the info about breakfast and the fitness center, and then we were off to the rooms. She even gave a follow-​up call a few minutes after I got into the room just to make sure that everything was fine.
Everything was fine. They provided coffee for the coffeemaker, unlike certain Hiltons where you need to call back down to the desk because they forgot to replace the packages. There was a microwave and a refrigerator. This is damn fancy, at this point it is almost nicer than my apartment that I never get to see since I travel so much.
I like this place chiefly for the free cookie the woman behind the desk let me have, And the wafting smells of other cookies to be had,
COOKIE TIME
But now that we have addressed the good let us discuss the bad.
1. Breakfast buffet — the oatmeal smelled like wet dog and tasted like it was prison-​grade food. Just horrendous. Good thing it is a buffet to save the day with those «bagel topper» breakfast pizza kind of things they set out. Greasy as hell but edible and sometimes that matters. It is a free breakfast though, can only expect so much here.
2. The real reason why I struck a star from their rating is the soaps in the bathroom. Their soaps are the «suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked» in the parlance of Homer Simpson. The soap literally stuck to your body, both the face bar and the body bar were basically like getting coated in corn syrup and whatever else disgusting you might say. The shampoo left my hair waxy, like a prison-​grade shampoo. However the severe low point was in the conditioner because it smelled so bad I literally thought I was chloroforming myself. It affected my chest and I got light headed like I had roofied myself, it was just a bad experience. If you stay here do not use the conditioner unless you want to chloroform yourself — that is about the only purpose of it besides chloroforming other people, which is mostly against the law I hear. If you stay here bring your own soaps and shampoos and whatever else — you do not want to use this unless you have served a nickel or two in the pen and this is your first night out in the free world, the soaps and shower experience will make you feel right at home there, sport.
Had there been additional cookies upon checkout I might have given them back the star I struck for that awful shower experience.

Our family typically stays at Hampton Inns. No matter where you go, you can expect the same friendly staff. They are especially helpful with…
A cup of milk for the little one just before bed.
Delicious continental breakfast in the morning that varies each day. Yesterday day they served delicious egg, meat, cheese on a bagel slice. Today they had omelets. Also each day there are donuts, danish, cold/​hot cereal, apple/​cranberry/​orange juices.
