6.0 Okay
It's a mediocre hotel in a great location. Beds and pillows were not that comfortable. Air conditioning is noisy, walls are thin. Breakfast was neither great nor terrible, but it's free so can't complain about that. There is no hotel shuttle despite it showing a shuttle listed in the amenities. It's in a great location, easy walk to the Waterfront and Little Italy. And it's cheaper than most other hotels in the area.
A
8.0 Very good
Pros:Breakfast was ample and varied.
Cons:Some of the staff was not as helpful as they could be. We got conflicting and insufficient information from various staff members regarding shuttles, etc. Seemed eager to say “can’t help you” rather than “how can I help”. Not all, but some staff.
A
10.0 Wonderful
Pros:Everything was clean, many amenities, attentive staff. Recommended!
A
10.0 Wonderful
Cons:Visibility is very limited in both directions when exiting the parking garage. Pedestrians can't see cars approaching the exit and vice versa. I almost collided with a group of pedestrians. Maybe some signs or flashing lights to alert drivers and pedestrians? You just can't see oncoming traffic on the highway without almost putting your bumper at the edge of the street.
A
6.8 Okay
Pros:Positives are the location, location, location & accessibility to Gaslamp district. Staff was courteous (enough). Breakfast was decent.
Cons:10 years ago, the Hampton was worthy of being in the Hilton family. The staff person didn't bother to tell me about the amenities or location of anything, but noted that he did that for another customer. My smoke free room reeked of smoke and the only thing they had available (they said) was the handicapped access room on the 2nd floor. The elevators are stuff and hot. Parking is cramped and nightly fee is a tad high. I needed to iron my clothes for a party and the iron was broken. When I returned the iron, the staff person was snippy and acted like I was incoveniencing her. I did not feel I was demanding and was very polite. another cust. complained that the AC was not adequate.
A
8.8 Very good
Pros:The location was perfect for gas lamp district and petco park, just a quick trolley ride away. Walking distance to the trolley and to little Italy. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was comfy and had an enjoyable trip.
Cons:The beds were too soft for my liking. My fiancé prefers cool showers and the water only came out warm/hot.
A
9.1 Wonderful
Pros:Great location, friendly staff and nice breakfast.
Cons:I specifically picked this hotel because it was the best deal and had an airport shuttle. I was bummed when my flight arrived at 1030pm to find out the shuttle stops at 10pm. It would have been nice to know that beforehand.

Cons:Nothing!
H
4.5 Mediocre
Pros:The location was great. But that's about it.
Cons:Shower head broken! Tile cracked and falling apart. And most of all the bed was uncomfortable. The main reason why we love to stay at the hamptons is because we love the beds! Unfortunalty this was not the case.
