The charge for parking was unexpected and unnecessary since many spaces are available. The clerk at the front desk was not able to justify why this surprise charge existed.

Breakfast was supposed to be open at 6 and the two mornings we had early commitments it was not open until I had to leave or after 6:10! This was unacceptable and very upsetting..

it was clean and easy to get to.
I didn’t like the long black hair my the bed when I pulled the sheets down. called the front desk and they great about giving me a new room. The girl working the front desk was so sweet. showed me to my 2nd that also had a long black hair in the sheets when I pulled them down. :( finally the 3rd room was fine.

There was a strong smell in the lobby. Couldn't tell if it was some kind of chemical or mildew or both

Clean, very friendly staff, wonderful free breakfast, spacious room, 10/10 Will stay again.
If I HAD to be nit-picky about it, the shower is a bit narrow.

Hotel was close to final destination
Hotel was a little bit expensive for where and what it is. $230 per night for a hampton inn is a little troubling.

Good range of food at breakfast...nothing exceptional though. A good location if you want to be in North County and close to beaches and restaurants.
I thought a parking charge and the assumption you came by car was a little pernickety.

We stayed overnight in Encinitas because my husband was in a surfing contest at Cardiff-By-The-Sea that weekend. Hampton by Hilton was close to the contest and convenient. The hotel is lovely and seems updated. The bed was extremely comfortable and when you see bright white sheets, blankets and a solid white bedspread, you know it's CLEAN. My name was on the TV screen, welcoming me when we arrived & that really tickled me! Breakfast was great and so was the coffee.
We were on the first floor and it was actually kind of noisy through the night. We could hear banging on walls and every time a door opened or shut, we did hear it. I had taken a sleeping pill, so I didn't notice it as much. All in all, it's a lovely little hotel with friendly staff and a full hot breakfast, if a little noisy.
