"Good Locaton, Good Price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
The hotel was adequate and the location convenient for the event I attended. The price was reasonable. I appreciated the free continental breakfast. The breakfast room--an interior room without windows--is small and was crowded both days I was there. Alternate seating is in the more pleasant lobby with windows! Also at this Best Western, unlike at other BWs where I've stayed, the towels noticeably scratchy, not soft, are either old or require different laundering.
"Good food around the hotel"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
They were very friendly and close to everthing, walked all weekend, loved it
"The Best Hotel on Ocean Beach"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
This might be the nicest hotel based right on the ocean at Ocean Beach. The staff was very helpful, the room immaculate, and the location second to none. I've stayed at a number of hotels in the area, but I won't stay anywhere but here in the future. You can't go wrong with an ocean front suite!
"Design savy with great service!"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012

San Diego’s waterfront airport lies northwest of downtown, which is home to the San Diego Convention Center, PetCo Park stadium, and the Gaslamp Quarter’s. That historic neighborhood’s restaurants and bars are the hub of the city’s nightlife. Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo form a green swath in this urban jungle. Offshore, Coronado Island offers postcard views of the city skyline.
see all hotels in San DiegoThe railway noises right next to the hotel are outrageous unfortunatey.

"Excellent Stay"
Excellent stay! In a great location and great customer service. The train is loud all night, but it's loud all along the downtown area. But they are good about getting people away from the train and it's pretty quiet once you are. Great stay
"Great except for the train whistles!"
The hotel itself was great, but it was close to the train and trolley tracks which made for an early (5am) morning.
"Good for access to Water Front"
Elevators need Repair
"Ignore the train and this is paradise."
We really enjoyed our stay once we got used to the train blowing out our ears. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly, and the best "continental" breakfast ever, no kidding. Pretty good location too. We walked everywhere we went. I would definetly stay here again.
"Hampton Inn, San Diego"
Everything was fine except for the noise, all day and all night from the passing trolley line, light rail trains, Amtrak, and worst of all.... the freight trains that seemed to run all night long! I don't know if the rooms can be sound proofed, but as it is, I never before stayed in such a noisy hotel room, and barely got any sleep before being awaken […] again by the horn of another passing train.

"Great view of the harbor"
Staff was very helpful and friendly. Hotel location was in a great spot to make use of the local transportation (ie, trolley). Complimentary breakfast offered a good variety and was tasty.
It was nice. Only draw back is near the train tracks. However, lots of locations in San Diego are.
Noisy spot in spite of ear plugs but location is a plum. Trains keep one awake but after 3 or 4 nights, you get used to it.
"Beware of the night train"
I like hampton inn but the location of this hotel stinks. The train tracks behind the hotel and next to my room is a route for a trains that passed by 3 times. Woke me up every time. If you a looking to get a good nights rest I would recommend going to the hampton inn by sea world
"Very noicy"
VERY NOICY
"LOUD TRAIN"
Everyone rates this hotel high - because it truly is clean and well cared for - but they must be very forgiving for the horrible train noise. Trains every 10-30 minutes at night and blowing the horn all through the night. The city needs to move to a horn-free zone at night for tourism. The hotel knows the train is a problem so they provide a sound […] machine, ear plugs and seem to be accomodating for room changes. It is nice to see that. Bottom line: horrible spot for a hotel if you want quiet time to sleep. Read more
"Hampton Inn San Diego"
Great Hotel! Great location, great people. They picked us up from the airport in about five minutes time and returned us when we left (probably a six minute drive). They put us in a larger room because we had a small child. They were attentive and even furnished us with a wine bottle opener when we bought a bottle of wine. The only thing that could […] be improved is the breakfast. I felt like it was a little on the "common" side... nothing healthy for sure. I always ended up going somewhere else for breakfast. Overall, A++ Read more
"Trains"
Great location, great staff, but VERY loud train horns.
"Hapmton Inn in Downtown San Diego"
I really like this hotel. It's very convienient and near the train station. Just the thing that I believe in my opinion, the breakfast can use a bit of improvement, especially the scrambled eggs. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay. Would come back there in a jiffy.
"Hampton Inn, San Diego, CA Downtown"
Loved the convenience to Harbor Drive, Little Italy, Gaslamp district, however, the train came by at all hours of the night, loud and distracting.
"Hampton Inn- San Diego"
Great room for the price. Convenient location…able to walk to most gas lamp attractions or take a short cab ride.

very nice hotel, needed it only for sleeping purposes, but the AMTRAK train travels directly behind building. ask for a room in front of building. Very nice hotel otherwise
"Hampton Inn downtown San Diego"
Location was great. We loved the full breakfast every day. All fresh and excellent food. Also the 24hr coffee/tea and hot chocolate bar. They went out of their way to accomodate us. Transporation also complimentary locally most times we needed it. Free security lockbox easily accessible. And the best thing was the very comfortable bed with clean "every […] day" duvet cover over soft comforter--all white. Nice! The only downside was that it was next to a train depot. They do provide earplugs or will move you to quieter room if able. Read more

"Hampton Inn San Diego - Ear Plugs"
Train passing but every 15 mins. Train noise is soo loud that hotel is kind enough to leave two sets of ear plugs on the night stand.
Comfortable. The parking lot was confusing tho. Staff was very friendly. The rooms were nice and clean! :)
This is a nice hotel but it's located right next to the train tracks and all night long trains were running. I would not recommend this if you are a light sleeper. Worst night sleep in years!
"Hampton Inn San Diego Downtown"
This is a great location if you want to see all areas of San Diego, Little Italy, Seaworld, Waterfront, Seaport Village, Petco Field, Coronado Island, Gaslamp Town,Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo. The Public Transit System is one of the best in the country. The only negative is the Amtrak Train and the Trolly which run right behind the Hotel. Just turn the […] fan on high to try to drown them out. Other than that GREAT PLACE TO STAY! Read more

"Lovely Downtown Stay"
Always love staying at Hampton Inn's. Will always seek them out in a foreign city, because the company is reliable in quality. The location is always convenient, rooms are nice with all amenities, staff is nice, and they have an awesome continental breakfast!!! The only complaint I would have with this particular one is that I could hear every word […] of every neighbors conversation. Which can be quite annoying, but other than that it was a perfect place with a buzzing community around it. Read more
"Great hotel, minus the trains"
Wonderful hotel, excellent staff, very comfortable room. But if the clerk hadn't moved us to the front of the building (instead of the back where we were originally destined), it might have been very different. Five train tracks run right behind the building. Management tells us that in a month, the trains will no longer be blowing their horns. But […] until then, the building shakes when the bigger trains come through. Read more

"Hampton Inn is a great bargain"
A summary of my stay at Hampton Inn: Based on reading reviews of this hotel, I had sent a request to the hotel staff asking via my hotels.com reservation for a room away from the tracks. When I checked in and went up to my room I discovered that the room was literally as close to the tracks as possible. I think it would have been good of Jessica at […] the desk to have acknowledged the note from the reservation and mention that they wouldn't be able to accommodate that request. I was disappointed upon this discovery but thought I'd suck it up and give it a try. Well... unfortunately it was worse than I anticipated. Honestly, I was up all night because of the train whistle. It was truly a living nightmare. Next morning after walking in full zombie mode to the complimentary breakfast with my husband and 2 kids, I asked my husband to speak with the desk staff about a room change for the following 3 nights of our stay. I'm not sure who helped him but the nice young lady at the desk was very helpful and moved us to a room on the opposite end of the hall and was able to get us moved within 5 minutes of the request. What service!! Next 3 nights were fabulous as a result of the room change. Also, we called the desk immediately following the room change where we discovered no refrigerator/microwave was in that room. They had it taken care of immediately. Again, great service. It's unfortunate that the train noise is so problematic because everything else about this hotel is truly great and a remarkable rate for its Little Italy location. Nice breakfast, pool, staff and beds are very comfortable. Parking is quite strange with spaces built for compact cars but we made it work. Read more
hampton hotel is not bad only bad thing doesnt have refrigerator in the room and parking is not free
"Train horns all night"
The first hotel I've been so far that provides free ear plugs. The reason - train horns throughout the night.
"Trains!!!"
When we arrived at 10pm to check in we were offered ear plugs because our room was in the back. All night long we heard the train go by. We did not sleep at all. It was very loud- would not stay here again.
"Hampton Inn, Downtown San Diego"
Great hotel, good location, pleasant staff, very clean and the breakfast offerings were tasty and varied with healthy options.

"** Went Above and Beyond **"
The Manager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to extend every service of his hotel to us. No complaints at all, save that you will hear the train, but that was explained to us and we were given ear plugs. I recommend the hotel to anyone.

"Planes, Trains, and Automobiles."
The hotel is located near the airport and train tracks, so you can hear the planes arriving and departing as well as multiple trains going by in the morning. Not cohesive to a light sleeper. Additionally, I was unknowingly charged for overnight parking, which I thought was included in the hotel price. There is nothing special located around this hotel. […] You'll have a much more enjoyable time if you stay in a hotel in "La Jolla". Read more

"cool to be in downtown"
it was great to be in downtown but the noise of the train all night was no good. nice hotel but way to loud with the train
"Hampton Inn San Diego Downtown"
Pros: Convenient to Trolly Line, Shuttle to Airport, Good Breakfast, Fast Free Internet Cons: Freight train horns, train crossing noises The first night it was hard to sleep because of numerous loud train horns. By the second night I had become acustom to the horns and crossing bells. I would hesitate to recommend for a single night stay. But to be […] fair friends staying at a hotel near the convention center also had trouble sleeping because of train noise. Read more
"Great!"

"Airport Shuttle, internet & bkft, but loud train"
This is the second time we stayed at this location. It is very convenient with a free Airport shuttle, tram station behind the hotel that goes directly to downtown or Old Town, free wired internet and very good breakfast. The only downside is the train noise. The hotel smartly puts earplugs in every room. If you can sleep with earplugs (which I can), […] this is a great hotel. Nice rooms with good beds. The hotel staff was great and even gave us a shuttle ride to the Amtrak station so my parents did not have to carry their bags for the next leg of our vacation. Read more
"Great Hotel but..."
they charge $12 for parking not included in the price.
