Stayed here with a friend for just one night before beginning our drive up the Pacific Coast Highway. Good location, easy to get to the airport, and easy to get cabs to go out at night. You can also walk to the bay and see some of the ships docked there. A great place to run/exercise in the morning. The... more

This lovely hotel, perfectly located right near the main coastal highway in San Diego suffers from a very uncaring staff. Our room wasn't ready when we arrived, at 4:15pm, well past their "guaranteed" check-in time. They offered us nothing, not even a snack, and just told us to return in about an hour, maybe the room would be ready. We... more

Yes, it is right next to the train tracks and you can hear the trains, but you know what, for the location, price and ambience, you can't beat it. We could hear the trains and I thought it was kind of cool, there are regular passenger and freight trains and the local trolley. The back rooms are right on the... more

I found this property to have the typically nice quality and service I expect from a Hampton Inn. However, railroad and trolley tracks are directly behind the hotel. You constantly hear the crossing gate bells, the trains themselves, and worst of all, the train whistles. This was very distracting when trying to work and completely interfered with sleeping (I think... more

The beds were so comfortable! The staff was extremely helpful (getting us shuttles to Sea World and the Zoo)! And the breakfast was AWESOME! I can't tell you how much my boyfriend and I talk about the biscuits that were at the hotel. Plus we had free wireless internet! The location can't be beat either, we could walk downtown, to... more

Very pleasant stay; comfy bed, clean, great b-fast, yes, there is a train behind the hotel but it didn't really bother us (note: we have a sound conditioner); location very convenient for the trolley and Little Italy and last but not least very clean garage with elevators that take you directly to your floor. more

Just returned from a 4 night stay at the Hampton Inn in Downtown San Diego. I love San Diego, and this hotel is a perfect location. Walking distance to Gaslamp and Little Italy, and a short drive to the beach. This is my 3rd stay here in 3 years, and my only complaint this time was that our room was... more

My husband and I stayed here while he was in town for work. We got one of the newly renovated rooms on the 6th floor and it was fantastic...comfy bed, nice large bathroom with good amenities, a pull out sofa, tons of extra space, and kept very clean. The staff at this hotel is out of this world. I would... more

I was in town for the BIO 2008 conference and moved here from another hotel (Bristol-see review). I lucked out on them having a room as the city was full. Here is what is odd. I liked this hotel despite the trains and rather plebian decor (light white oak pressboard....with plastic chrome strip). It was the staff and their friendliness.... more
