Great Staff, Great Breakfast and convenient location
We love Hampton Hotels for family outings and this one served us well. The front desk staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. When we arrived it was late in the evening and they offered our family complimentary snacks and water/sodas. Whenever we returned to the hotel from a full day of outings the front desk always offered a cookie or some other snack. The kids loved this. 
The morning breakfast spread was wonderful. The food was always hot and plentiful, the area clean and the staff was on their toes! Our son is a big eater and he was filled up - waffles, eggs, breakfast meat, cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, pastries, toast/bagels. They had everything and we started each day with a full stomach courtesy of the Hampton. This also helped with our food budget as we spent $0 for breakfast every day. 
The location was convenient for all of our outings throughout San Diego. When we first arrived I was concerned as the area appeared diverse with some adult entertainment and other questionable venues nearby. However, we did find a Noodles, a Walgreens and a Michaels nearby when we needed them.
The front desk was friendly and helpful. They helped with Sea World tickets and a renting a van from a nearby car rental agency. HANAH was great in helping at the hotel and after we returned home. She tried to help us track down a gps case that we had left behind somewhere in our travels. 
We were able to obtain an AAA rate at the hotel despite it being Spring Break. The rate was reasonable and the parking was free unlike many of the other hotels I researched in San Diego. 
We will definitely use this hotel again!
