I stayed at the Hampton Inn because of its great location near the cruise port and free breakfast. The location is very convenient, but the breakfast was just okay, as they don’t provide any fruit. It can also get a bit noisy at night due to the nearby trolley station.

Clean and comfortable hotel with excellent location and good breakfast. But there some things that I didn’t like:
1. There are just 2 elevators for the whole building, so you will probably have to wait 5-10 minutes to use it.
2. Parking is $40 per night, which is a too expensive (private parking near hotel is cheaper)
3. Breakfast area is not huge, sometimes you need to wait for free spot.
Otherwise everything was pretty good.

Location is perfect.
The location is perfect if you are hanging around in the downtown (USS midway museum, the Kiss, Maritime museum), little Italy and Bilbao Park. It’s also located just beside the Amtrak San Diego Santa Fe Depot Station as well as the Metro Little Italy station, around 5-8 mins walking distance.
Pillow smells bad
One of the pillow smells really bad.
Breakfast is buffet and it’s good I think. Got waffle maker, toast, bagel, fried eggs, sausages, milk, juice, coffee & tea.
No slipper, no toothbrush/toothpaste
I was shocked when found there is NO Slipper, NO toothbrush nor toothpaste provided. This is the first hotel I ever know that these basic supplies are not provided. Please do remember to bring your own.
Coffee maker, hair drier, hangers, towels, shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion are provided.

Convenience location at downtown, close to airport and gaslamp quarter.
Well maintained room and nice to us.
Provided free breakfast, more options than expected
But not helpful customer service. We asked if they have worldcup from TV at the room or at the restaurant. they said no resulted we explored other options. And finally, we saw everyone at the breakfast restaurant were watching worldcup.

When we checked into our room they did not mention there was a $40 charged for parking they just asked if we were parking there and we said yes but they failed to tell us about the charge, the supervisor later said there was a sign stating the charge for the parking which we did not see. We got into our room number 303 on the third floor and we're getting ready to settle in when we see a big roach on the curtain.My fiancé called the front desk and we got moved to another room . We forgot an item on the last room where the roach was at so we had to go back and it was like 30 min later they had checked in a guest already so no fumigation or anything they just straight out put someone in that room. Overall bad experience I called the supervisor and was not apologetic or seemed to care.

The hotel is clean and the interior environment is good. I like the big sofa. But that's all the advantages.
It's next to the light rail, Little Italy. It's convenient, but it's next to the railway crossing. The trains are really noisy in the middle of the night. There are not only passenger trains like Coaster and Pacific Surfliner on that track, but also large freight trains. The smell of the street when you turn right out of the hotel is really a bit explosive.
There are no slippers, toothbrushes and water. They are sold downstairs, 💲4 a bottle. But the lobby guy is nice and gave me a bottle.
Breakfast is a disaster. There are so many people, and the hot food is scrambled eggs, bacon and potatoes. The rest is to make your own bread and queue up to make waffles. The apple juice machine produces clear water...

It's near downtown, close to the beach, and the train station nearby is a bit messy! There are a lot of homeless people!

The room was clean and the breakfast was OK. It was just a little close to the railway and tram tracks, so you might hear the traffic lights. I slept so soundly that I didn't hear it, but my friend did.

The room was very cozy, although not big, but very clean. The transportation was convenient, there was a tram right outside, it was a 4-minute walk to Little Italy, and across the road it was an 8-minute walk to the Midway Museum.

The room is old, the toilet door is stuck when opening and closing, and it is not repaired. The elevator is also old and shakes every time it stops! My room is close to the road. Due to the poor sealing of the window, the car noise is loud all night, and the occasional train passing by is also quite noisy. The only advantage is that it is close to Little Italy and the Victory Kiss near the aircraft carrier!

Everything was good, except that the elevator was under repair when we checked in, so it was not very convenient.

The location is excellent, 2 blocks away from the seaside and Little Itally. Trolly station is just behind the hotel, and you may be disturbed by the sound of trains passing by at night and early morning.
