Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect stay — highly recommend. A near-new hotel with spotless, modern rooms in a very convenient location. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and unwind. The breakfast buffet was a real highlight — especially the Hampton waffles, which were absolutely delicious. The facilities were well maintained and enjoyable, with a warm pool and hot tub that we loved using. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. A massive shout-out to Malarie, who went above and beyond to make our experience truly superb and accommodating. Thank you so much 🤗🙏"
