Hampton Inn Owensboro

Review by hotel critic

During our recent stay at the Hampton Inn Owensboro, we found a charming blend of southern hospitality and practical amenities in this vibrant corner of Kentucky. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful surprise, welcoming fueled mornings with an impressive variety—ideal for a bustling family or a food critic secretly assessing the competently made eggs! While the dining area showed signs of youthful exuberance—with large groups of enthusiastic young athletes—my partner and I appreciated the effort made by the staff to keep everything organized and well-stocked. We opted to retreat to our room for meals instead, where we enjoyed the benefits of a well-lit work desk and a microwave—though I do wish there had been one in the dining area for quick reheats of some delicious BBQ we grabbed from Old Hickory, just a stone's throw away! The location is perfect for exploring local landmarks, and we took advantage of the late check-out to fit in a visit to the nearby Bluegrass Music Museum. Our experience was made all the more enjoyable by the friendly faces at the registration desk who treated us like family—reminding me of home in London while highlighting the warmth of American hospitality. A pleasant stay indeed!
