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

I stayed at the Hampton Inn (Downtown) San Diego, CA for two nights last week while traveling on business. The hotel is under renovation but it's really not too much of an inconvenience. I stayed in one of the recently upgraded rooms on the top floor (6th) which was very nice. The hotel (along with all other hotels in the... more

Maybe, JUST MAYBE, our judgement was tainted by the terrible 5 hour drive from Los Angeles in the pouring rain. (Americans cannot drive in anything but sunshine). The hotel was below average in room and well belopw par on its breakfast. Although the location is good for harbour and Little Italy - THE TRAINS OH the trains.........NOISY just is not... more

I stayed at the Hampton and enjoyed the location! The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. They recommeded great restaurants in Little Italy. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable. The trains run near the hotel and are loud but tolerable. The breakfast was good and the hotel sits 2 blocks from the harbor. The price seemed to be great... more

Other trip advisor reviews warned that trains passed directly behind the hotel and were noisy. This is true, but it was not as bad as I suspected and in fact never woke us up, or disturbed us in hotel sleeping, intenet acess etc. The staff and the hotel shuttle service was great . Staff always willing to provide advice and... more
