    great location
    adequate breakfast
    convenient amenities
    unreliable elevators
    noise issues
    room maintenance

    The location is great, close to the docks and downtown, making it easy to explore. The breakfast options were adequate and convenient. However, the elevators seemed unreliable, and I encountered some noise issues due to nearby transportation. Overall, it was a decent stay, but a few improvements could enhance the experience.

    great location
    whale-watching tours
    fun dining options
    noisy traffic

    Perfect location near the beach and Little Italy. We loved exploring the area, especially the whale-watching tours and great dining options. Just a heads up, the elevator can take some time, so plan accordingly. Overall, a solid spot for group trips.

    The only downside was the noisy traffic, especially on the front side of the hotel. It made it hard to get a good night’s sleep.

    friendly staff
    great location
    clean room
    elevator congestion
    noisy train

    I had a good experience at the Hampton Inn in San Diego but it wasn't without its hiccups. The check-in process was smooth and the staff was very helpful, which I appreciated. The location is definitely a major plus. It's just a short walk from Little Italy and the waterfront, making it perfect for evening strolls and dining options. The complimentary breakfast was decent, though I wish the scrambled eggs had been more appetizing. One downside was the noise from the nearby train, especially at night. it made sleeping a bit challenging. The elevators were also a hassle. Only one seemed to be working, prompting many guests to wait long stretches or take the stairs. I found that frustrating, especially on higher floors. My room was spacious and clean, but I felt the mattress could use an upgrade for better comfort. Still, I'd consider returning for the location and friendly service.

    It was just a balanced option for an overnight stop in San Diego with exceptional value. The location was great, and the breakfast had some nice options. Bring your own toilet paper for a more comfortable stay.

    Family with children friendly

    The hotel was very clean and the staff were super friendly. We had 10 of us there, and it was great they got us rooms together so we could be close, plus easy check-in with the Honors app.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but still acceptable.

    diverse selection
    cramped area
    lack of extras
    room assignment issue

    The staff provided excellent service, promptly arranging adjoining rooms for our family after the initial assignment was incorrect. The location was perfect for exploring various neighborhoods and the Embarcadero. Breakfast featured a diverse selection, with attentive staff ensuring everything was well-stocked. However, the parking area could be a bit cramped during busy times and additional amenities would have enhanced our stay.

    Loved the freshly baked croissants each morning! The location was perfect, just a short stroll to Little Italy. However, the noise from the nearby train tracks was a bit disruptive at night. 🌙

    The stay was mostly enjoyable with a comfortable room and fantastic breakfast. However, the parking situation was frustrating and the elevator was out of order for days. The staff was friendly, which made up for some of the inconveniences. Overall, a decent experience with room for improvement.

    Perfect for couples looking to unwind

    The location was prime, just a quick stroll to Little Italy where we had an very nice dinner at Nonnas. The complementary breakfast was decent, really helped fuel us before a long day, I appreciate a good hotel breakfast.

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, but overall acceptable for the experience we had.

    I truly appreciated the attentive staff, especially Miguel, who ensured I had early check-in and helped with my luggage. The hotel is conveniently located near attractions, making it easy for me to explore San Diego.

    Improved elevator access for seniors would be great.
