York, PA
1 Adult
$124 King Study NS
$114 2 Doubles NS
2 Adults
$134 King Study NS
$124 2 Doubles NS
Pittsburgh-University Center, PA
1 Adult
$119 King Study NS
$119 Double Queen NS
2 Adults
$129 King Study NS
$129 Double Queen NS
Disclosure: In searching I found several hotels with the same rate for one or two adults. IMO it appears that Hampton may be moving more toward the same rate for one or two than in the past.

I'm not a big breakfast person but I still try to grab something on the way to the airport. OTOH, I have seen some people REALLY load up on their plates and reload again, so to them it may be worth the extra $10 per person.

Now lets say I check in at 7PM and then head out to dinner at 8PM. I get "lucky" at the restaurant and bring the hostess back. Do I have to pay the Hampton $10 if she stays over. How do you approach the desk clerk to give the $10 over.

And I've been in hotels during a fire alarm, more times than I'd care to count, and NEVER did anyone from the hotel call roll or count noses.

[QUOTE=SkeptiCallie]There's also (1) the take-out package that they offer you at checkout, consisting of a brown bag containing bottled water, a granola bar of some sort, and an apple or so. [QUOTE]
I've never seen this. Is this supposed to be chainwide?
Thanks,
Sheila
