This Hampton Inn was excellent place to stay while visiting friends in the area. The rooms are very clean and up to date. Nice flat screen TV. Gym was small with only had 3 machines but the equipment was new and clean. Breakfast was OK, not great. The scrambled eggs were weird (probably powdered eggs) but everything else was good.... More

Clean, comfortable, and quiet. Easy access to the highway, restaurants, and grocery stores. More of a secluded location that the other options embedded in the city. Large and spacious. Excellent and helpful staff More

I wouldn't normally review a Hampton. I stay at Hamptons a lot for business and they are all pretty much the same. I stayed at this property for 2 weeks this past summer and I feel that I can address some of the issues in previous reviews. 1. Management: David and Lauren were efficient and responsive. The hotel was full... More

Like other Hampton Inns, this is a reliable, no frills hotel. The lower end of the Hilton line, it offers a convenient place to stay for business or pleasure and is not meant to be a destination but a place to hang your hat while you're on the road. It is reasonably priced and a good value. More

We stayed here for 9 days here for 10 days at the end of July. Very good value for our $$. Service was very good...staff Provided milk for our little one on the first night as we forgot to buy some. We had a fridge in our room which was great! Although quite small, our kids really enjoyed the pool... More

I have stayed at this hotel twice. I have family in Escondido, but the Escondido hotels (Best Western, Comfort Suites), are marginal. The Hampton Inn San Marcos is 3 exits west of I-15 off the 78. 7 minutes to downtown Escondido. 20 minutes from Carlsbad. Just down the street from UC San Marcos. This is standard Hampton Inn. Nice and... More

The hotel has seen better days. Everything down to the towels is old and tired. The walls are thin and you will hear your neighbors breath. Add to this the freeway is across the parking lot. This hotel is not worth the money. Spend it elsewhere. More

We needed a hotel just for one night and this ended up being the closest to where we needed to be. Check in was quick and efficient, the room clean and comfortable (even the sofa bed was good) and it more than served its purpose of a good place to spend the night. We didn't have much noise in the... More

Stayed here on recent trip to Legoland. Hotels in Carlsbad all sold out for the holiday. Paid $140/n with AAA discount. This is probably the worst hotel we have stayed in the past 3 years. The good: 1. clean room/bathroom 2. nice breakfast 3. coffee in the lobby 4. good shower pressure with warm water 5. check in/check out was... More

Stayed for leisure, close to my brother for a family event and not enough room at his house for overnight stay. Stayed at Hampton Inn for 3 days. The nice young lady at front desk allowed us to check in 1.5 hours before normal checkin hours and she was extremely pleasant, leading to a good start. Stayed in the room... More
