Hampton Inn & Suites Staten Island

Next door to the Garden Inn is sibling property Hampton Inn & Suites. As with the former, you know what to expect from the reputation of the chain, and what you get is straightforward, but decent. Like its neighbor, Hampton Inn is set within the 415 acres of preserved woodland of Staten Island's Corporate Park, a few minutes from Interstate 278. This traditional West Shores Stable building has a rich equestrian theme. Each of its 107 rooms is equipped with a custom-designed bed, flat-screen TV, and free WiFi. There is also both a full desk and a lap desk for working on the bed (don’t go falling asleep mid-report!). You also get a microwave, a mini fridge and a coffeemaker. In addition, the suites boast whirlpool tubs and/or pull-out sofas. There’s a fitness center and indoor pool for working off the free hot breakfast they serve daily. And you can dine at neighboring Lorenzo’s in the evening, which offers live cabaret acts at certain times. The hotel also offers a complimentary shuttle service to Newark Airport and Staten Island Ferry.
