This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hampton Hotels. All opinions are 100% mine.
Today I found out about the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. This is obviously a sponsored post, don’t worry, a normal Today I found out article will also be posted today. But, special thanks to Hampton for supporting Today I found out and helping keeping this site going.
In the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes, the Grand Prize winner will win, for one weekend (2 nights), an entire 100 room Hampton hotel for the winner and anyone the winner wants to invite to join them. With 100 rooms available, you’ll be able to rack up a lot of “I owe you one”‘s from your friends. 
They are also giving away daily prizes (over 100 prizes total) with this sweepstakes. These first place prizes will be for one weekend stay for the winner and three friends at any Hampton hotel.
In order to enter, simply follow this link Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. The entrance process is simple and quick and you’ll then be eligible for one of their daily prizes and for the Grand Prize. Alternatively, if you happen to be planning a trip somewhere at the moment, you can enter the sweepstakes by adding the promo code “FRIEND” when you make a reservation to a Hampton Inn.
Weekend vacations are a good way to inexpensively recharge your batteries for the coming work week and inviting friends tends to just make this whole thing a lot more fun. If you end up winning one of the daily first prizes or the Grand Prize, you won’t just get to recharge your batteries and have a good time with friends, but the hotel stay will be free, which always makes everything significantly more enjoyable.
There are, to date, over 1700 Hampton Inns in the United States, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, the United Kingdom, and Mexico, among other places. So there are loads of great spots to pick from. Personally, my wife and I and a few friends would go for a nice weekend stay in Beautiful British Columbia around Christmas and do a little snow boarding and skiing.
In any event, check out the Hampton Chain of Friends Sweepstakes. You’re not only entering for a great prize, but also supporting one of Today I found out‘s sponsors, which in turn helps keep the site going.
Bonus Factoids:
- As of 1989, Hampton Hotels became the first national hotel chain to have a 100% satisfaction guarantee policy. This policy is stated by Hampton Hotels as follows: “Friendly service, clean rooms and comfortable surroundings every time. If you’re not satisfied, we don’t expect you to pay. That’s our commitment & your guarantee. That’s 100% Hampton.”
- While some of the Hampton hotels are directly owned and managed by Hilton Hotels Corporation, quite a few of them are actually independently owned, being franchised out by Hilton.
- The first Hampton Inn opened in Memphis, Tennessee in the summer of 1984. This hotel was at 1585 Sycamore View Road and remained in operation until August of 2005.
- In 2004, Hampton spent 100 million dollars on renevations of its hotels. These renevations included upgraded continental breakfasts and upgraded beds to the much more luxurious “Cloud Nine Beds”, among other things.
- Because Hampton Hotels are part of the Hilton family of hotels, they qualify for Hilton HHonors hotel points and airline miles when you stay there. They also offer “On the House” hot breakfast, “On the Run Breakfast Bags” Monday-Friday, free high speed internet, and 24 hour coffee in the lobby, among other perks.
