Hampton by Hilton Hotels in Rehoboth Beach

The overall property seems clean and the staff helpful (at least during the day). My issue is within the room. We stay in alot of chain hotels so when we got to our room we both immediately knew this room was smaller then a standard hotel room, unfortunately our price for the room not small. It reminded us more along the size of a Microtel (a little larger). So because of the size they can only fit 1 chair in the room and the only nightstand is 1 between the two beds and it's not very big (no compartments or drawers). The real pain is the closet door that doubles as a bathroom door. This is not the way to save a buck Hilton! Pony up and get 2 separate doors. First of all the door is quite heavy and if you're in the bathroom trying to get out you have to get a good grip and it's almost impossible for small children. Another is a privacy issue, the door has no lock so if someone goes to close the closet door they are opening the bathroom door! The other problem with this set up is safety, I had opened the bathroom door and just as I was exiting the bathroom my husband was opening the closet door and got my hand caught in the door. It's a really stupid idea on so many levels! The last issue is a very serious safety issue, at around 4 am all the smoke alarms went off on our entire floor (and I believe throughout the building. To say they were loud is an understatement. But piercing loud is what you want if there is a fire but what you also want is some instructions as what we should do. The alarms were going off for at least 20 minutes. We tried multiple times to call the front desk and no one answered! No instructions, no guidance no nothing! Thankfully it wasn't an active fire (but we didn't know that) but if it was we would have been out of luck. Because of this I would not return to this hotel.
