Hampton Inn San Diego-Kearny Mesa

“We Would Stay Here Again”

We stayed in this hotel for only one night, but we could have stayed longer. The hotel is clean, quiet, and the staff is friendly. It's nothing fancy, obviously, but we were very happy with it.

We stayed in this hotel for only one night, but we could have stayed longer. The hotel is clean, quiet, and the staff is friendly. It's nothing fancy, obviously, but we were very happy with it. Breakfast was good and had plenty of options. Our king room was very roomy. The bathrooms are large enough for 2 people to spread out and leave their toiletries on the counter. BUT the 2 things that get the most points from me personally: 1. They have a soap dish. It drives me crazy to use a hotel soap to wash your hands, and then have no where to place it but directly on the counter. Only one other hotel has impressed me with such a small but very much appreciated detail. 2. The bathroom mirror. They actually have lighting around the mirror/built into the mirror so that you can see to put on makeup. Most hotels have the absolute worst bathroom mirror lighting, this hotel does not. There were 2 reasons that they lost 1 star: 1. We were told coffee was available 24 hours a day, but when we went in the late afternoon to grab a coffee, there was no coffee. 2. There is absolutely no reason they need to charge $18 for parking at this Kearny Mesa location. That is simply Hilton taking advantage of their guests. Their parkling lot is large, and this isn't a "parking is a premium/luxury to have" location.

“Nice experience”

We were happy with this hotel for the most part. We were able to check in early, and front desk staff were so helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was pretty good.

We were happy with this hotel for the most part. We were able to check in early, and front desk staff were so helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was pretty good. The only problem was the walls were pretty thin. We were awoken by the person next door having a coughing fit which felt like the neighbor was in our room. Other than that, we heard neighbors only a little. Overall decent facility… A little further from downtown than I probably wanted but probably good to avoid comic con congestion.

“Decent Option”

Clean hotel, to include rooms. Quiet and good light-blocking curtains on window. Breakfast is standard Hampton Inn fare with some kinds of eggs, sausage, and potatoes, plus waffle maker, etc. Mini-fridge is oddly in the closet. Never seen that before. Parking is $15 a night, to pay for the overni… more

Clean hotel, to include rooms. Quiet and good light-blocking curtains on window. Breakfast is standard Hampton Inn fare with some kinds of eggs, sausage, and potatoes, plus waffle maker, etc. Mini-fridge is oddly in the closet. Never seen that before. Parking is $15 a night, to pay for the overnight parking lot security guard they employ. I've never had to pay for parking at a Hampton outside a downtown area before. A/C works well. I would stay again due to the hotel rooms being clean (a big plus in my book), but might look around at other properties in the area, too. I paid $230 per night plus taxes and parking, which felt slightly high for being so far out of downtown area.

“Nice, but some draw backs”

The location was great. New hotel, nice decor. The problems were with parking and breakfast. When you park in the back it’s hard to find access to the hotel, not convenient. Breakfast was chaos.

The location was great. New hotel, nice decor. The problems were with parking and breakfast. When you park in the back it’s hard to find access to the hotel, not convenient. Breakfast was chaos. The food is in one room with dining space across the hall. With one access and exit point, it was almost impossible to move and get any food. I tried two different times. I walked away the first time. Second time I had to brave it as breakfast was almost over. I saw others look in the room and walk away also. I would recommend going as soon as it opens. Might be better. The elevators are also slow. Everything else was nice. Heads up, the fridge is in the closet.
