220 Vaughan Ln, Pell City, AL 35125, Pell City, United States
3-star hotel
Guest rating: 4.1 / 5
Overview
The Hampton Inn Pell City is a straightforward, 3-star hotel located just off I-20 in Pell City, Alabama, making it a convenient stop for interstate travelers. It's set about 5 miles from Lakeside Park on Logan Martin Lake, giving it a low-key setting near both highway access and local recreation. With a 4.1 rating from 762 reviews, it functions as a dependable mid-range option rather than a destination resort.
Rooms
Guest rooms feature custom-designed beds, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers, along with both a full desk and a lap desk for guests who prefer to work from the bed. Free WiFi is standard throughout the hotel. Some rooms have been newly renovated, which reviewers have noted as a noticeable step up in quality and comfort compared to older, unrenovated rooms.
Dining
A hot breakfast is included with every stay, and on weekdays the hotel also provides complimentary grab-and-go breakfast bags for guests heading out early. Multiple sit-down and casual restaurants are within easy walking or short driving distance, including City Market Grill and Buffet just steps away, and LongHorn Steakhouse and Olive Garden both under half a mile out.
Amenities & Recreation
On-site facilities include an outdoor pool, an exercise room, a business center, and a meeting room, along with complimentary self-parking. These amenities support both leisure stays and short business trips without requiring guests to leave the property.
Location
The hotel sits close to several Pell City attractions, including the Museum of Pell City (about 3.3 km), Lakeside Park (about 6.8 km), and YMCA Camp Cosby (about 17.9 km). Motorsports fans will find both Talladega Superspeedway and the International Motorsports Hall of Fame roughly 19-20 km away, plus the Mustang Museum of America about 14 km out. A local bus station is essentially adjacent to the property, while Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is about 44 km away.
Best for
This hotel best suits interstate road-trippers and motorsports fans visiting Talladega Superspeedway or the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, given its I-20 location and proximity to both attractions. It also works well for budget-conscious business travelers thanks to the on-site business center, meeting room, and free WiFi, and for families wanting a pool and easy access to casual dining right off the highway.
Travel tips
Since the hotel is just off I-20, it's an easy overnight stop for drivers passing through the area, and a bus station is virtually next door for those without a car. Plan for roughly a 20 km drive to reach Talladega Superspeedway or the International Motorsports Hall of Fame, and note that Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport is about 44 km away, so allow sufficient transfer time. Weekday travelers can take advantage of the complimentary grab-and-go breakfast bags if departing early.
What guests say
Guest feedback is mixed but skews positive, with many reviewers praising the friendly staff, particularly breakfast service, along with a comfortable bed and convenient location. However, a notable share of negative feedback centers on room cleanliness, including reports of mold, dirty bathrooms, and musty odors in some rooms. A few reviewers also described disruptive on-site construction noise, temporary loss of WiFi, and an unstaffed front desk during renovation work, while others who were moved into newly renovated rooms reported a much more pleasant, high-quality experience.
