The Hampton Inn Bluffton, full name Hampton Inn & Suites Bluffton-Sun City, is on the western side of Bluffton where US 278 meets the Sun City and Okatie area, in a cluster of hotels and restaurants just off the highway. It is a different hotel from the Hampton Inn on Hilton Head Island itself.
It suits people visiting family in Sun City Hilton Head, golfers playing the mainland courses (see our Bluffton golf guide) and anyone driving in on I-95 who would rather stop short of the island. For the rest of the town, see our Bluffton guide.
Rooms, Suites and Breakfast
Rooms come with a king bed or two queens, and the suites add a separate sitting area. Hampton’s free hot breakfast is served every morning in the lobby dining room, Wi-Fi is free, and the front desk puts out coffee through the day and cookies in the evening.
Pool, Fitness Room and Meeting Rooms
The outdoor pool sits behind the hotel with loungers and a view over the trees, and there is a small fitness room with cardio machines and weights. Three meeting rooms, set up for classes or banquets, make it useful for small business meetings and group events.
Hampton Inn Bluffton Reviews
Guests praise the breakfast (the grits get a mention), the friendly front desk, the quiet and the location for a short stay near Sun City and the highway. The complaints are about upkeep: thin walls between rooms, bathrooms without exhaust fans, slow drains and weak water pressure, a lack of hot water on one visit and a cramped parking lot shared with two restaurants.
Where the Hampton Inn Is
The hotel is at 29 William Pope Drive, off US 278 (Fording Island Road) beside Candlewood Suites, at the Sun City end of Bluffton. Old Town Bluffton and the Hilton Head bridges are both a drive east along US 278. For the other places to stay nearby, see our round-up of hotels in Bluffton.
