"We stayed at this Hampton Inn due to its proximity to Scripps Encinitas Hospital for outpatient surgery. This worked quite well for our 5:30 am check-in. The hotel itself is clean, modern and has excellent outdoor parking The complimentary breakfast was good and the staff accommodated our request for late check-out as the surgery and recovery for a family member was longer than expected. We could not have asked for more and will return when the need arises again."
