“The Hampton Inn San Diego Downtown is family-friendly and eco-conscious, placing it steps away from the waterfront and minutes from the airport. I found the rooftop pool and complimentary breakfast appealing, even though some rooms may catch noise from the nearby railway; I would recommend a room away from Beech Street to avoid the noise. Overall, it's a strategically placed option for exploring San Diego.”
