Keep looking ...
The property was not very well maintained, and the corridors smelled bad. The room AC did not work well, but the room was comfortable. The front desk folks were nice. The location seemed a bit iffy from the safety perspective.

Just an okay Hampton
We would have given a better rating but…
the toilet was literally 12” off the ground!!!
they charged an additional $15.00 per day parking which we were not informed of and the property is already overpriced!
No indoor pool!
The breakfast was okay.
The staff was very nice!
The location for our needs was good

Very convenient for us in regard to the distance from Del Mar racetrack as we were there for the Breeders’ Cup. It was very clean & well kept. The beds were very comfortable! The daily breakfast was excellent. The staff was helpful & friendly.
The only thing they should do away with is a parking fee. I think they include it as part of the room price & give a permit for the duration of the stay as $15 daily is a bit excessive…
Other than that it was great! It’s a very nice place. I recommend it!

I have never had an unpleasant stay at a hotel, but the room we got was the nosiest room I have ever experienced in my life. Not only did we hear every room open and close, it SHOOK the room like an earthquake. We were woken up multiple times past midnight due to the noise. Points for being dog friendly, but dogs didn’t sleep a wink due to it sounding like someone was barging into our room every 20 minutes or so.
Water in the shower wouldn’t go any hotter, so felt like I was showering in lukewarm water.
Eyelash was found in the continental breakfast eggs.
The filtered fountain to refill your water tasted worse than normal tap water.
No towels to use in the pool area, so bring the towels from your room to use.
Pretty disappointed, but hotel served its purpose. I wouldn’t stay here again though
