Hampton Inn renovations include new suites, conference space, saltwater pool
The newly renovated Hampton Inn Stafford/Quantico Conference Center hotel is open in North Stafford.
New additions to the hotel allowed for larger suites, a dining hotel area, conference space, and a saltwater pool. Known as the Hampton Stafford / Quantico and Conference Center, the 17-year-old hotel sits in what has become an increasing crowded market of hotels nearby catering to business travelers.
“Over the years, the quality of our hotels has been going up and you have been a leader in Stafford in building a quality product which matters when you live here. There was a time when you couldn’t find a decent hotel in Stafford,” said Stafford County Aquia District Supervisor Paul Milde.
Four new hotels have opened along the Route 1 corridor in North Stafford in just the past two years. Milde says hotels last year generated $1.2 million in tax revenue for the county.
The Hampton hotel is valued at $7 million, according to tax records, and is unlike any other in the chain. The 2,600 square foot conference space and meetings rooms inside the hotel will provide much-needed meeting space for the county.
Milde said his county government had few options when it came to meeting outside the county government center to conduct business. He will petition Stafford County Administrator Anthony Romanello to hold some business meetings at the newly renovated Hampton, he said.
The renovation will also allow hotel owner Dhiren C. Patel to carry the Hampton branding on his hotel for another 17 years. He involved his family in the remodel and put his wife in charge of the overall aesthetics over the interior makeover.
“I want to thank the staff that has been working and kept the lights on during construction over the last 16 months, even during construction we kept our occupancies very high and this allowed us to pay our bills,” said Patel.
The Hampton is located at 2925 Jefferson Davis Highway near the intersection of Garrisonville Road, at the interchange for Interstate 95 in North Stafford. For more information, call 540-657-0999.
