Hampton by Hilton, formerly known as Hampton Inn, is a brand of hotels trademarked by Hilton Worldwide.[2] The Hampton hotel brand is a chain of moderately priced, upper midscale hotels with limited food and beverage facilities. Most Hampton hotels are independently owned and operated by franchisees, though a few are managed by Hilton. Hampton by Hilton is one of the largest hotel franchises in the U.S. As of December 31, 2018, the Hampton franchise includes 2,433 hotels throughout the United States and in nearly 20 other countries with 250,310 rooms.[1][3][4]
In 1999, the Promus Hotel Corporation was bought by Hilton Worldwide for $3.7 billion. In 2004, as part of the $100 million Make it Hampton initiative,[9] Hampton began upgrading its hotels including the production of an alarm clock which featured an easy-to-set alarm and an mp3 player hook-up.[10] Other changes made during the upgrade were the switch to white bedding,[11] adding hot food items to continental breakfast options and free high-speed internet to rooms.[9] In 2012, under the Perfect Mix initiative, the company completed upgrades to the lobbies of its hotels adding more social space. Hampton continued to renovate its spaces with a campaign introduced in 2013, directed towards younger clientele that included in-room mini-fridges, new bedside tables with power access, updated bathrooms, and updated hotel exteriors.[11] Hampton by Hilton has been ranked in the top 5 in Entrepreneur's Franchise 500 from 2010-2015.[6]
Today Hampton is in the upper midscale lodging segment, designed to compete against Fairfield Inn by Marriott, Holiday Inn Express, and Comfort Inn/Comfort Suites.

BENT'S OLD FORT - LA JUNTA, COLORADO
Bent's Old Fort is an 1833 fort located in Otero County in southeastern Colorado, United States. A company owned by Charles and William Bent and Ceran St. Vrain built the fort to trade with Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho Plains Indians and trappers for buffalo robes. For much of its 16-year history, the fort was the only major white American permanent settlement on the Santa Fe Trail between Missouri and the Mexican settlements. It was destroyed under mysterious circumstances in 1849.
The area of the fort was designated a National Historic Site under the National Park Service on June 3, 1960. It was further designated a National Historic Landmark later that year on December 19, 1960. The fort was reconstructed and is open to the public.

2003 - Kit Carson Hotel and Elks Lodge
The Kit Carson Hotel and Elks Lodge comprise an important commercial block in La Junta that was once the focal point for social, business and civic activities in the Arkansas Valley. It featured the largest ballroom in the region and is listed on the State Register of Historic Properties and has been determined eligible for the National Registers of Historic Places. In 1931, the Elks Lodge began remodeling the early 20th century building into the Kit Carson Hotel to help relieve the effects of the Great Depression by using local unemployed artisans, carpenters, and laborers. The remodeling added a third story, which became hotel rooms. The remaining third of the huge dance hall was retained as a ballroom. The building was refaced with a light colored brick facade. The new hotel immediately became the focal point of La Junta for social, business, and civic activities for more than fifty years before it closed its doors in the mid-1990s.
Upon listing on the Most Endangered Places, a family member of the architect that redesigned the property in 1932/33, purchased the property with the hope of reopening it as La Junta’s premier lodging. A feasibility study was undertaken through a State Historical Fund grant that determined that the structure could once again be profitable as a hotel. Unfortunately, the building’s owners could not find an investor to help finance any revitalization project and in 2012 the Urban Renewal Board and La Junta’s City Council voted to demolish the building for public safety.
