  I wish I was treated with this level of courtesy everywhere I went in life. The front desk staff was exceptional and treated me with respect. Would definitely return.

  This has been one of the best hotel experiences I’ve had in California. I travel to San Diego at least 2-3 times a year for sports tournaments. It’s so nice to have an included breakfast with a wide variety of food options that begins at 6am every day of the week (eggs, sausage patties, potatoes, oatmeal, cereal, regular and soy milk, bananas and other fruit, yogurt, bread/bagels/muffins, waffles- 2 flavors daily- the normal waffle batter and an additional fun flavor, this week I’ve had s’mores, churro, and pumpkin spice). They also have a super convenient water bottle filler that also dispenses ice, and they have coffee out in the lobby all day. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating, the woman who was maintaining the breakfast area greeted every single guest as they came in. As other reviewers have mentioned, there is a Mexican food spot right next to the hotel, and the fish tacos are such a cheap but delicious and filling meal. The rooms are relatively spacious, the water pressure in the shower is great, there’s a fridge and microwave in the room, thermostat is easy to adjust, plenty of outlets… basically everything I could ask for to make for a comfortable stay! The only thing that could’ve made this stay 100% perfect would be free parking, but I knew ahead of time that there was a daily fee to park my car because it’s posted on the website. I’ve stayed at other places that are much more expensive that don’t include breakfast, so paying for parking is still a good trade off given the value of everything else I’ve loved about this stay!

  Decent place. Breakfast was a little better than most Hampton inns I stay in. Good location and easy to get to. Seemed like a good deal until I saw they added $16.50 a day for self parking. They didn’t even bother to tell me. What a rip off. Generally I was one of the only cars parked in the back area. Just make the nightly include this because it’s misleading and bad for business. I know I won’t stay here again simply because I don’t trust this place.

  I can't say enough good things about the hotel. I had a huge quiet room in the back of the hotel with a pretty little view of someone's garden. The staff is super nice and the breakfast was delicious. It's very conveniently located. I stayed at a boutique hotel on the next leg of my trip and it was a huge disappointment compared to my Hampton Inn-Cardiff experience. I'm kind of a East Coast food snob and had a hard time believing the $1.39 fish taco at the gas station next door that I read about in other reviews was really worth having, but I tried it and it was awesome. Definitely make time for a meal there.
