Subject: Escalated Complaint – Hampton Inn San Diego Dear Hilton Corporate Guest Relations, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding my recent stay at the Hampton Inn San Diego. The experience was extremely disappointing and failed to meet the basic standards I expect from Hilton properties. The following issues made my stay unacceptable:     •    Elevator delays: Guests were subjected to up to 40-minute waits due to only one elevator being in service during a busy weekend.     •    No stair access: Guests were left with no alternative, as stairwells were not accessible with key cards. The only route to rooms and the parking area was through the overwhelmed elevator system.     •    Room key malfunctions: My magnetic key card demagnetized on multiple occasions, requiring repeated trips to the front desk for reprogramming.     •    Stagnant, poor-quality air: Hallways, lobbies, and elevators were uncomfortably stuffy, with stagnant air that made the long waits even more unbearable.     •    Indifferent staff response: When raising these concerns, staff displayed little concern or urgency, leaving guests feeling dismissed in already uncomfortable and stressful situations.     •    Misleading “renovation”: Despite being described as remodeled, the property felt outdated and poorly maintained — more like a superficial facelift than a true renovation. Is not into a Hilton standard, I will like a refund.

Elevators were being worked on and stair access is a little strange where you have to walk through the back offices every time. They were doing their best but just a bit awkward.

No stairs that were convenient to and from the lobby. Only one working elevator which was sketchy. Bed sheets had too much plastic. Also there were a few termites in our room.

The location is amazing! The parking is expensive we paid for a parking garage in close walking distance through a third party app. The elevators took a bit since one was down, but it was fine. Free breakfast was average, there were hot options which was nice. This is a place you stay for location for sure!!

I was very dissatisfied that when I booked the property it advertised free shuttle to airport but it did not so I was forced to take a taxi at a cost of $20 plus tip.
