I don’t often do hotel reviews, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t tell you about my experience at the Hampton Inn in beautiful Corbin, Whitley County, Kentucky. I was there for the Corbin Powerlifting Championships and needed a room for the night. Corbin is about 150 miles from Louisville and rather than do the 2hr drive each way on the same day, I opted to get a room the night before the event. The last time I was Corbin was for an ExploringKentucky.com trip back in 2022. For that visit, I stayed at the Comfort Inn, just a rock’s throw from the Hampton. The Comfort Inn wasn’t bad. I’d describe it as a little better than a Red Roof Inn, with an ok breakfast, and good location proximate to the highway. It’s also next door to the very interesting-looking and much-talked-about Corbin Inn.
The Hampton Inn is a whole different world. As I’ve come to expect from HI’s, the room was much nicer, with a comfortable king size bed, a nice bathroom, and a good work desk. The shower pressure was excellent, though the water could have been a tad bit hotter. It was pretty hot, nonetheless, but a tad bit hotter would’ve been nice. The location is pretty good and there’s a Cracker Barrell just a few steps away.
Even though you can see the Comfort Inn from the Hampton (as it sits on a hill), the location is a lot more quiet, being that’s removed from the interstate, gas stations, and the nonstop traffic. There’s plenty of parking and the property is very well maintained. Check-in and check-out was also very straightforward and stress-free. But what sold me on this hotel was the BREAKFAST!! What a spread!! And the breakfast staff members were absolutely amazing!!
If you’re in the Corbin/Whitley County, KY area, I highly recommend the Hampton Inn – Corbin, KY, for your stay. Please be sure to watch my video (above) for more.
