The hotel itself is very dated and the elevators had a mind of their own and didn’t work properly. The staff were pleasant enough and the bed was comfy, however, the best thing going for this hotel is the walkable location.

Subject: Escalated Complaint – Hampton Inn San Diego Dear Hilton Corporate Guest Relations, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding my recent stay at the Hampton Inn San Diego. The experience was extremely disappointing and failed to meet the basic standards I expect from Hilton properties. The following issues made my stay unacceptable:     •    Elevator delays: Guests were subjected to up to 40-minute waits due to only one elevator being in service during a busy weekend.     •    No stair access: Guests were left with no alternative, as stairwells were not accessible with key cards. The only route to rooms and the parking area was through the overwhelmed elevator system.     •    Room key malfunctions: My magnetic key card demagnetized on multiple occasions, requiring repeated trips to the front desk for reprogramming.     •    Stagnant, poor-quality air: Hallways, lobbies, and elevators were uncomfortably stuffy, with stagnant air that made the long waits even more unbearable.     •    Indifferent staff response: When raising these concerns, staff displayed little concern or urgency, leaving guests feeling dismissed in already uncomfortable and stressful situations.     •    Misleading “renovation”: Despite being described as remodeled, the property felt outdated and poorly maintained — more like a superficial facelift than a true renovation. Is not into a Hilton standard, I will like a refund.
