Had a great stay at the Hampton Inn in Waycross! Although the digital key option decided to take the day off (technology, right?), the staff more than made up for it. Super friendly, helpful, and welcoming—Southern hospitality at its finest! The room was spotless, the bed was crazy comfortable, and everything felt fresh and well-kept. Honestly, it was the perfect place to crash after a long day. Would definitely stay again—just hoping the digital key gets it together next time!

While it was slightly inconvenient to have to detour around the hotel because of construction, everything else was perfect. We had a clean, renovated room, cold beer that wasn't ridiculously expensive, a nice pool to swim laps in and get rid of motorcycle-riding fatigue, a decent breakfast, and a pleasant welcome and goodbye from the front desk staff. I love the bathroom products in large, pump bottles, better for the environment and easy to use. A Door-Dasher delivered a good Bar-B-Q meal to our room, too. Thanks for making our road trip even more pleasant.

Very nice hotel room. The clerks were friendly and professional. Beds were comfortable. The wife was there to go to a interview and I hung out in the comfortable lobby until she was done.

This place was fantastic! From the time we walked in the staff was super friendly and helpful. The clerk was singing and dancing and even gave us each a cookie. Our room was spacious and clean with a large bathroom equipped with quality soaps and shampoo and lotions. The bed was very warm and comfortable. I got a really good workout at the fitness center that came equipped with a full dumbell rack. The pool was clean and warm. The parkinglot is well lit and safe I would definitely stay here again!

Clean, comfortable rooms. The only thing were the many trains that go by. Luckily, they don't seem to travel over night
