Business travelers and Internet junkies will be at home at Hampton Inn. Each room comes with a portable wooden laptop desk, so you can work or surf the Web from the comfort of your bed. If you have to burn the midnight oil to get that big report done, the hotel offers free coffee 24 hours a day at a beverage station and you’ll have a gratis hot breakfast waiting for you in the morning. Traveling for pleasure? Wolf down a porterhouse at Ruth’s Chris Steak House, lounge at nightspot Ballo, laze out on the sundeck or check out the Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired lobby. The hotel brags that the rooms also are influenced by the architect’s signature style, but really, Wright probably would have shrugged at the standard tan-and-creamhued suites.
