On March 21, 2004 we stayed at the Hampton Inn in Ellenton. The hotel had a great location and was easy to find. An Outlet Mall was located directly across the parking lot and the Pittsburgh Pirates Spring Training facility is about a 15 minute drive away. There were good restaurants within walking distance and others a short drive away. This Hampton location met the usual Hampton standard (we travel a lot and often stay at Hampton hotels). It was very clean, room was sufficient in size, interior entrances to all rooms, great breakfast buffet, friendly staff, and good room prices. I would stay at this location again.
