Our room was very clean and comfortable. The cleaning staff started pretty early and were a bit noisy. Also, the $20 parking fee is just a money grab and I would consider staying somewhere else next time if I have to pay for parking at a Hampton Inn.

This place has a fantastic location, just a short drive to the 5 freeway and only about 4 minutes from to the beach. Plus, their breakfast is truly impressive, a lovely spread that really adds to the experience.

Staff very friendly. Free breakfast fairly good. A/C insufficient. Worst was the lack of lighting in the room PLUS the lights in the room turn off by themselves and you have to take action of some kind to get them back on. Terrible!
