“Nicely surprised”

A friend and I just needed a spot to crash for the night, since we were running through San Diego for a beer festival and also wanted to spend some time at a pub that had a good reputation but was well out of the center of the city. Our only criteria were to be within stumbling distance, and to have a decent place to sleep and shower.

We got significantly more than that with the Hampton. They'd obviously been through a recent remodel, and the results were very attractive: modern without being trendy, welcoming to both business and leisure travelers.

We had a bit of a problem getting into our room - both our keys triggered a blinking red light. I went back down to the desk and got new ones. I was also told that if that didn't work, to call down to the desk and they'd send someone up. That's what happened, and we never got into the room, but they quickly switched us to a new one.

And it was a very excellent room. Again, very modern, tasteful decor. I was pleasantly surprised by the granite in the bathroom, and we were both surprised to find the giant flat panel TV. Everything was very clean and spacious, and the beds were very comfortable. Despite being near the freeway, everything was qiet as well.

The location's not great; you're in the middle of deep, dark, cookie-cutter suburbia. It's not the part of town to stay in if you're on vacation. But if you've got business in the area or just need a place to stop off for the night, the hotel itself is a very attractive option.

We're winding up a very nice stay here. I've stayed at several locations in San Diego. This hotel is one of the best values I've had. San Diego is not an inexpnsive destination. For the price, the location and amenities are very nice. Location is conveniently just off the freeway. We had a room facing the freeway, but noise was never a factor. Rooms are not the largest, but decorated quite nicely. Free wireless internet and breakfast are very much welcomed. The pool is not too large, but serviceable. The exercise room is very well equipped. There is a very nicely appointed meeting room. I didn't use it, but it is very nice. The lobby is very nice with a very large fish tank.

There are plenty of restaurants within a short drive, though not much within walking distance.

Overall, I would stay here again in a heartbeat when my travels take me back to San Diego.

I stayed at this hotel before. Typical Hampton Inn quality near a not so great neighborhood (adult clubs about a block away), but closest Hilton family hotel near my customer. Neighborhood scared me but I was pleasantly surprised with the quality inside the hotel. I was willing to overlook the bad neighborhood. I was scheduled to return to the area for another customer visit and reserved this hotel again. Unfortunately the meeting got postponed. I called the hotel to let them know the day before my trip and was told there was a 48-hour notice not a 24-hour notice. Didn't matter that I am a regular Hilton Honors customer, Doesn't matter that I have stayed there before and that I would be back in the area when the meeting was rescheduled. I suppose management has not been taught the value of retaining frequent business travelers. And to think I've suggested this hotel to colleagues. I'm beginning to question my loyalty to the Hilton chain. My colleagues are recommending the Marriott because their cancellation policy is not this ridiculous. I think the Hilton family of hotels just lost a valued customer.

We stayed here for the Miramar Air Show. This was a perfect choice as
it is conviently located next to the highways used to get there and about a 10 minute drive.

Our room had two double beds so there is NO pull out sofa bed. The beds were comfy (pillow top) I was afraid it would be too soft as I have back problems but I woke up pain free. One bed had synthetic pillows and the other bed has feather pillows. We booked 5 in the room. They do NOT have roll away beds here. The little one slept in the chair with footrest as it was big enough for her. They were kind enough to bring extra blankets and sheets for it.

The 42" plasma TV in the room was GREAT! Although they do have wi-fi, they still provide a computer in the lobby for anyone to use which had the biggest monitor I have ever seen. It looked like our Plasma TV in the room.

There is a mini fridge in the room. I did miss the microwave as at another Hampton Inn they not only provided one but also popcorn! That was missed.

The lobby is beautiful with a very large aquarium that separates check-in from the breakfast area. There are about 7 tables to eat at. Also two sitting areas with sofas. One secluded area with sofas sported another Plasma TV .The food was great for a continental breakfast. It included cereal, fresh fruit (apples, bananas, mixed cut up fruit), yogurt, toast, muffins, eggs, ham, donuts, bagels, coffee, hot chocolate, fruit juices and milk in an all you can eat display. It was crowded on our morning but many seemed to be going to the Air Show like us and were on the same schedule. Some took it to their rooms instead since seating was sparce for a time being.

Coffee, tea and hot chocolate were available at night. I wish there had been some cookies to munch on. :)

It has a nice workout area. I counted 14 machines. It overlooks the pool and of course, sports another large Plasma TV. The pool was ordinary but it was steaming warm while raining outside.

Staff was very friendly. Parking convenient and free.

Yes, there are two nudie bars down the street. But far enough away that it didn't spill over into this area. Next door to the hotel is another hotel and on the other side, condos. Also on the same street
is a Souplantation, Cocos, Walmart, a grocery store, Starbucks, McDonalds, LA Fitness ( a very large and nice one) and several others
places to eat.

I was most impressed with the cleanliness. Super Clean! Everything seemed brand new. And, the owners of this hotel even sent a nice thank you card to our home afterwards. Impressive again.

I paid $138 with a AAA discount. I felt it was worth it. I would go back again- Absolutely!

Stayed here for 2 nights in late Aug. Check in was very quick and effeicent even though we arrived very early. The room was very clean, modern and comfortable and included a great 42 inch HD plasma TV. The pool area was very quiet and clean with fresh towels. Breakfast was well stocked witha good variety of food. Pretty much the same as the only other Hampton inn we have stayed in at Orlando.
We would be happy to stay here again as the hotel is only 10 mins drive from most of the must see things in San Deigo.
