Hampton Inn & Suites Southport

Hampton Inn & Suites Southport

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel definitely meets the Hampton Inn standard I expected. There was plenty of parking space available even late in the evening. I liked the hot breakfast items such as roasted potatoes and mini omelets. Quick and easy drives to Southport and Oak Island beaches. I also saw an alligator in the pond near the parking lot. There are warning signs posted about the alligator so just watch them from a safe distance."
