Anyone ever stay/visit there during SB? I'm lookin at hotels and this one is fairly cheap lol. Just wonderin if a lot of students go there or if anythin goes on in that area. Is the service/quality good?

I google mapped it and it's like a quick walk from the Hampton to the Boardwalk.

I think Google maps is getting it wrong. All of the Hampton Inn's on this link are the same and it's on the backside of Thomas Drive. There isn't one across from the Boardwalk (there's nothing on that side of the street, Letter C doesn't exist). Letter A is the correct location:

hampton inn, panama city beach florida - Google Maps

I stayed there last year...or at least had resv. there ( I ended up staying there only two nights) its a nice hotel, of course you have the crowd there but not as good as the boardwalk or seahaven etc.
