Roughly 8 miles from Tallahassee Airport and close to several attractions such as the 22-story Capitol Building, this Hampton Inn makes for an inviting home base in Florida’s capital. Among the amenities are an outdoor swimming pool, fitness center and a bicycle rental service onsite for families who wish to explore the city’s many nearby attractions by bike. The free hot breakfast starts your morning off right with waffles, cereal and all the other things kids eat without complaining. And although the hotel does not have an onsite restaurant, there is an onsite snack shop for quick pick-me-ups and plenty of family-friendly restaurants nearby, including an Italian Grill and Waffle House.

Guestrooms and suites all have 32-inch LCD TVs, a coffeemaker and ironing facilities. Upgrade to the suites if you want the added benefits of a kitchenette with a refrigerator and a microwave, making it fairly easy to prepare simple meals in.
