    About Hampton Inn/Hampton Inn & Suites

    The first Hampton Inn opened in Memphis, Tennessee in 1984. Hampton Inn was the first mid-price national hotel chain to begin offering a free continental breakfast and free local phone calls. In 1995, the Hampton brand introduced Hampton Inn & Suites, which consisted of two-room suite hotel rooms with living rooms and kitchen areas.     In 1999, Hampton Inn was acquired by Hilton Worldwide, which has hotels in more than 90 countries.
    Hampton hotels offer a 100% guarantee. If guests are not completely happy with the clean rooms and friendly service, Hampton Hotels vows to refund the cost of the stay. Franchisees of Hampton Hotels will not only be aligning with a leading, emerging brand in the hotel industry, but also the parent company of Hilton Worldwide, which has a proven, dominant track record in the hotel industry. Franchisees have the peace of mind that many successful people will be behind them to support their business endeavors.
