Certifications

ISO 14001

ISO 14001 is an internationally accepted standard that outlines how to put an effective environmental management system in place. It is designed to help businesses remain commercially successful without overlooking environmental responsibilities, such as:

• Improve their environmental performance constantly
• Comply with local and national regulations and other requirements subscribed
• Prevent water, air and ground pollution hazards
• Control and optimise water and energy consumption
• Promote waste recycling and recovery
• Raise environmental awareness among employees and train them to adopt good practices in their activity
• Use eco-label housekeeping products

ISO 50001

ISO 50001 is based on the management system model of continual improvement also used for other well-known standards such as ISO 9001 or ISO 14001. This makes it easier for organizations to integrate energy management into their overall efforts to improve quality and environmental management.

ISO 50001 provides a framework of requirements for organizations to:
- Develop a policy for more efficient use of energy
- Fix targets and objectives to meet the policy
- Use data to better understand and make decisions about energy use
- Measure the results
- Review how well the policy works, and
- Continually improve energy management.

The location is great. They have vending machines to accommodate the absence of the mini store that's signature of Hampton. Plus, the staff (women at front desk) were very friendly.

This hotel is in serious need of a thorough cleaning and renovation! Had to call housekeeping to remake our bed with sheets that fit the bed, as the original fitted sheet was only about an inch from the top of the mattress. It would’ve come totally lose if anyone had sat on the bed, much less slept in it. The wallpaper was peeling in the bathroom, there was mildew on the ceiling in the bathroom, and the shower leaked on the floor. Our second day there, the bathroom sink stopped draining, so we had to have someone come in to repair that. The only reason I am giving this three stars is because the staff were helpful and courteous, and we love the area.

Clean room, comfortable bed, quiet, complementary popcorn & cookies in the lobby each afternoon. We extended our stay by 2 nights once we arrived. Loved being in the midst of downtown Fairhope!

This was our third trip to Fairhope. We've always stayed in this hotel and we've always had a good stay. The breakfast is one of the best I've had in a hotel. The hotel is smack in downtown and an easy walk to anywhere downtown including the pier and the beach.

The staff at this Hampton Inn was exemplary . They made the stay worthwhile. The facility itself was substandard. Don’t let the curb appeal fool you. Hampton Inn corporate did not deem the charming city of Fairhope worthy of an “A “ facility. I know they have them because I live in a city with a lovely Hampton Inn . The lobby was so generic and drab with the worst of interior design and colors that showed very little attention to detail. Our carpet in our room was uniformly sticky , not because it wasn’t clean but because it was so cheap. Nothing but the people that worked there and the Christmas decoration expressed the creative energy and warmth that is Fairhope Hampton Inn corporate should be ashamed of themselves .

Beautiful hotel. Blends in with the businesses around it. Extremely helpful and polite staff. Clean lobby and rooms. You can spend an entire day wandering around, enjoying the food and never have to drive anywhere because hotel is located in heart of downtown.

Outstanding hotel. Nice staff, very clean, and excellent location. I also thought is was awesome that they have Luke 2:11 written on the wall by the elevators. I will always stay here for now on when working in the area. I am a Hilton Diamond member, and out of the literal hundreds of hotels I have stayed at this one is now my favorite!!!

The Hampton Inn of Fairhope is widely known as a very clean and professional Inn that is highly recommended for friends and family visiting from out of town. We have heard only positive comments about the Hampton Inn of Fairhope! Many people don't know that the site that the Hampton Inn sits on was once the Historic Jordan Clinic where hundreds of babies were born, prior to the establishment of Thomas Hospital. I was born there on March 31, 1957. The Director of the Fairhope History Museum, Donnie Barrett and his twin brother, Ronnie, were born there, also. So, this place is very special to many people in our area!

Great location on Section St. The room was large and had two queen sized beds. Stay away from the hotel coffee and instead visit one of the many coffee shops within walking distance.

FYI: I normally do not write reviews. This place stood out enough to us, to take the time to let everyone know how great it is.
My husband I decided to do getaway for a night. A friend recommended this hotel. I called the hotel and asked questions about location etc. The lady I spoke with was very helpful. I do not remember her name. (Sorry) When we arrived at the hotel we were treated wonderfully by Patti. (I did remember her name) We decided to get a balcony room facing the beautiful downtown. The room was very nice. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. You will not be disappointed.
We ate at Danny's Chicken , and papas pizza. They were both wonderful. Papas pizza is right behind the parking garage of the hotel. Danny's Chicken is on the main road in Fairhope.
To the beer drinkers ... the grocery store downtown about a block from the hotel has several beers on tap. If you have a growler take it, they will fill it up or you can purchase one there.
To Cigar Smokers.... my husband was so impressed when we walked in. There is a Cigar Shop called Bouch's beside the grocery store. It is a Cigar smoker's dream. It has anything you would want.
I hope this review helps somebody have a wonderful little getaway like we did.

We recently stayed at this hotel for four nights. The hotel was fine - staff was kind and the room was as expected. What wasn't as expected was the addition of a large (3'x3') Bible verse to the wall immediately on exit from the elevators in the lobby. Many people probably disagree with me, but don't think this kind of decor has any place in a national chain hotel. I expect the decor to be more secular and welcoming if all faiths in a national chain, and I certainly didn't feel welcomed. I understand that the intent in hanging the Bible verse was probably positive during the time of Easter, but it made me uncomfortable enough to question staying there again. Maybe that's the goal. Regardless, I thought I'd share my two cents for those who might feel similarly and want to avoid the situation.

There's a lot to like about this hotel, as well as the town it's in. The rooms all have a different picture outside to help you remember where your room is. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the ventilation in the rooms is decent

Booked for a wknd stay for a wedding. Very cute hotel in the middle of downtown close to all the local shops. Staff was very unprofessional though - mistakenly gave us hospitality wedding bags and called to ask for them back. Room was opened and was "airing" out from being cleaned. Never heard of that one before...

Hotel was clean and the employees were very friendly. Breakfast was superb for a Hampton. The pool was closed for maintenance but it did not affect out stay. We will stay again if we are in or around Fairhope.

Everyone at the Hampton Inn were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the cocktail hour and breakfast. The only issue we had was the pool was closed due to a problem, but didn't affect our stay. We will definitely be returning.

Overall, this Hampton was a very pleasant experience with nice amenities and friendly customer service. Located in the quaint Fairhope area, the hotel architecture does not disturb the neighborhood style, and therefore it felt more welcoming then your average chain hotel. The surrounding neighborhood is really interesting as well, with intriguing restaurants and art vendors.

The rooms were very welcoming and outfitted with clean and comfortable furniture. As with most hotels, water pressure in the shower was a little lacking and the beside clock was all out of sorts.

I would definitely recommend this hotel for individuals seeking a comfortable, accommodating, and affordable hotel in lower Alabama.

Old hotel, small rooms, smelly carpet, and very loud a/c. The front desk clerk who checked us in was extremely rude but the other clerks were ok. It's in a great downtown location but that is all it has going for it.We would not stay here again.
