Good stay in downtown San Diego with walking distance to many attractions. Friendly helpful staff. Terrific hot breakfast with lots of choices. Only draw backs were the loud train right behind hotel that ran all night and the $40 a day parking fee.

We arrived early, before the official check-in time, and the front desk staff member, Aurora, was super nice and helpful. She kindly allowed us to leave our luggage at the hotel so we could go out and explore, and she even provided us with coupons for nearby restaurants, which was a lovely bonus. When our room became ready, Aurora let us check in early, which made our first day in San Diego so much easier. She truly gave us a wonderful first impression of the hotel. The room itself was very spacious, bright, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was also great — the classic Hampton breakfast, exactly what you’d expect and enjoy. We will definitely come back and stay here again. Highly recommended!

I was traveling with my disabled sister and had reserved a room with an accessible shower because she is basically immobile. Upon arrival, I was told that the room I had reserved was no longer available because the people who had stayed in it the night before had extended their stay one more night. The hotel policy is that people who are already in a room have priority over those who have booked it. Consequently, there were no other accessible rooms available for three people so we stayed in one without an accessible shower. This is an unacceptable policy.

This hotel needs to be updated. The rooms are ok and clean but the bedding comforter came apart. The refrigerator had food from the previous people. Complimentary snacks were nice. The elevator needs to be fixed. Its under construction and while the sign said they're "working on it" given the graffiti on the foam board its been like that a long time. You can hear airplanes rev their engines and trains through the windows. The staff was very friendly.
