Hampton Inn & Suites Swansboro Near Camp Lejeune

Swansboro

10/10 Excellent

After spending several days at an old hotel on the beach, this hotel was a welcome change. Reasonably located to the beach, if you wanted to spend some time there. The hotel itself is very nice, in good condition, and quiet. The room was clean, and the beds very comfortable. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The free breakfast was good, the staff better; they kept the breakfast area well stocked. The hotel is conveniently located near historic Swansboro, and plenty of great food.

My husband and I spent two wonderful nights at the Hanna House. Owner, Camille was welcoming and fun. Staff were also very friendly and nice. Located close to restaurants and attractions, we walked everywhere. The Lincoln Room was cozy and very comfortable. Camille’s gourmet breakfasts were amazing. Breakfast menu was incredible. Lovely Victorian home , wonderful to relax in parlor with a glass of sherry or hot beverage and homemade cake that always was available. We would stay again.

Love that the room had extra living space. It had a living room/sitting area. Also had a table to eat on as well as a desk. Loved the step down into the sleeping area. The room had two tv’s and the couch was also a pull out bed. City view was amazing! Very clean hotel inside and out. Very affordable! Close to a lot of shops and restaurants! The walk to the beach wasn’t bad at all! 10/10! Will definitely be back!

This was my second time staying here. They are pet friendly, which was nice although we did not bring our dog this stay. We got there a few hours early and the lady at the desk was very nice and let us check in early even though our room was not ready yet, she said it would be ready in about an hour so we went to the beach and were able to pick up our room key when we got back. The pool is small but is nice when the beach is too windy. My friend is allergic to the down pillows, which seemed to...
