    I chose the Hampton Inn Mission Valley for my family to stay at for a 4 day trip to San Diego at the end of October for a wedding. My first impression on arrival was a welcoming lobby and friendly staff. When we arrived in our room, I found that our bathroom door looked like it had a years worth of toddler fingerprints all over it, the light switches had makeup on them, the lotion bottle in the bathroom was empty, and the bed coverlets were frayed and unravelling. I requested someone come fill the lotion and clean the door, but no one ever did (lotion got filled right before we checked out). The beds were the worst beds I have ever slept on... like someone threw a sheet over the springs. By day 3 of our trip we had to cancel our plans to the zoo because we were so exhausted from being up all night with those beds the 2 previous nights, we didn't have the energy to go. I was so disappointed and will definitely NOT be staying there again. Hampton used to have the best mattresses. It's why I chose them. Clearly their priorities have shifted. I will say that the breakfast was really good.

    Hotel was clean. Staff were good. The breakfast they offer is disgustingly unhealthy. Their coffee is the very worst coffee u will ever drink. Nothing on the breakfast table is even close to natural. It is literally not for human consumption

    When you are a Diamond VIP, paying for parking at a non-premium location isn't a good value

    This hotel was a great spot in terms of convenience, location, and price. It was clean, comfortable and well maintained. There was a nice pool area with fire pits and free breakfast was served in the morning. There was plenty of free parking.

    Mission Valley and Hotel Circle itself is sketchy, so expect seeing some sketchy people walking around at night. The hotel itself is nice, and there is free breakfast! The staff are great except Brianna, who was extremely rude and giving my mother attitude when she asked front desk about why our rooms were NOT cleaned by housekeeping yet, when our rooms wete promised to be cleaned either every day or every other day due to having dogs. I'm sorry if you had a terrible day, but even I don't act like that to customers at my own job! Maybe teach your staff how to be kind and understanding to your guests? Another guest at the hotel even told us their problems with front desk staff as well during our stay, so this is already something on-going with their rude staff at front desk. Breakfast staff and housekeeping are all very kind and lovely though!
