Mandatory $10 Parking Fee Destroys Excellent Value Rating: \star I am giving this Hampton Inn just one star because an outrageous mandatory fee completely negated what should have been a very pleasant stay. Let me be clear: The facility itself is great. The hotel is well-maintained, clean, and modern, and the location in Pompano Beach is fantastic, offering easy access to the area. If the rating were purely based on the physical property, it would be much higher. However, all of that goodwill vanishes because of the non-negotiable $10 per night parking charge. This is the definition of being nickel-and-dimed. For a mid-range brand like Hampton Inn, which typically includes parking in the room rate, this mandatory fee is unacceptable. It feels like a deceptive practice used to hide the true cost of the room. I believe essential amenities like parking should be included in the price I pay upfront, especially in a non-major metropolitan area like this. The addition of an unexpected, daily $10 fee significantly impacts the overall cost, transforming the stay from "good value" to "poor value." This mandatory charge is a huge disappointment and the sole reason I cannot recommend this specific location.
