Hyatt Regency La Jolla

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Hampton Inn San Diego-Kearny Mesa

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good time staying at Hampton Inn San Diego-Kearny Mesa as a family of three. Things that stood out for me was breakfast, courteous staff & cleanliness. Location is just 15-20 min drives to most of the attractions including airport & old town train stations. We haven't used pool & gym facilities but they look good. They have a good lobby & dinning area. Breakfast is better than typical cheap hotels as they include one egg dish & maintain good hygine. "
