Hampton Inn has vastly improved in the past 5 years to the point where I am actually impressed lately. This one is not impressive. Room was newer than my colleagues had on floors 1-2.Staff - super super friendly. Unfortunately missed my diamond status and talked me down from an upgrade on day 1, although I had a higher class room for days 2-3. I am sure it was because they missed my status. They apologized on day 2 when I said I wanted to keep my room…Not clean. Very dusty above 5’4”. Floors wet when I several hours after I arrived.Front counter pantry out of stock of everything frozen except burritos.Air conditioning couldn’t keep up at all during the 75-85F days. Then super cold by morningNumber of Stays: oneRoom: King Suite, first floor, 334June 2022As a frequent business & leisure traveler, I’ve decided to go back through the years and review the properties I stay at most. Hilton (Diamond) Marriott (Titanium Elite). This is my first in this effort.

The General Manager was amazing. Very sweet, friendly and helpful. Even when all her staff called in she worked a 12 + hr day and was still very kind. the room was nice, my only complaint is i had a small old TV in the room. I was told that the rooms on the 3rd and 4th floors have updated TVs. so i recommend those rooms. The spa and pool have an AMAZING view specially at sunset!

Could hear traffic all night long. The beds are not great if youre sleeping with someone else, they transfer movement like the old springs do. Breakfast was good. Cleaning was okay. They missed detail things, like there was bit of old bar soap on the shower tray and an ear plug next to the bed, but it looked nice in the room.

Great location 10- 12 min scenic drive to the beaches! Nearby Grocery Outlet for errands. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful. Advice re noise: Located right next to 101 so call a few days ahead to ask for a room away from 101. Hot water heater replaced long time ago so we had NO issues with hot water as others complained. Clean, simple room, bed average (a little older for Hilton). All rooms have fridge and microwave. Breakfast is terrible we’ve stayed at other Hampton Inns and there were better options including bacon and boiled eggs. (Honestly, we stayed with points and the overall quality was worth the low number of points required. We’ve stayed at the Hampton in Paso Robles on points and that one was 5 stars very new, quiet, bed and rooms new and breakfast had bacon but it was full and required more points and further drive from beaches where we spend majority of time) I really with they had nightlights in the room like most Hiltons… it’s safer for all ages… bathrooms are dark and I don’t like having to turn on the overhead bright light at night as it wakes me up and affects my sleep.

The most unprofessional and rude experience from front desk clerk Christina Silva. I recorded some of what happened and you can find it on YouTube by typing in her name. We are Hilton diamond members and booked a room VIA the honors app. Upon arriving she informed us that the entire hotel was booked out. We were baffled as the online app still said there was 2 rooms available. After bringing this to her attention she she confirmed that this was correct but had decided not to offer them to us because they were more expensive. The expense was marginal and not an issue with us, especially because it was 11pm and we had our two children with us. She than proceeded to say that our our honors points do not show up on her computer because we are not at a Hilton hotel, that Hampton is different from a Hilton. She said if you want to use your points you can go down the road to the Hilton. My wife responded “ it doesn’t matter what your screen shows, I can see my points on my phone” and either way we are willing to pay what ever price is necessary for the room. She then denied us the room and said we would have to wait for some else to arrive and check us in. She proceeded to complain about my family to other guest that were approaching the front desk, she made phone calls and was talking about us on her cell phone. She made fun that a room is available and that we cannot have it. The person had horrible customer service skills and is a bad representation of what any customer should experience at the Hilton, especially if you are in the honors diamond member program. This lady should not be working any job where she must deal with people. If this was my business I wouldn’t want her as an employee.About 30-40min later Phillip had arrived and confirmed that he can in fact see our points in the system as he checked us in with no issues.This entire experience could have been avoided if this location had a person who can maintain a professional demeanor, instead we had to deal with Cristina Silva who acted like a child. Please search her on YouTube.On another note she did not have her name tag on she provided us with the name Christina Silva.

Absolutely disgusting evening attendant named Christina Silva.Checked in with my family at 11pm.She advised me there was no room. My Hilton honors points were redeemed through the app and booking and check in both confirmed.Im there with my family having driven tons of hours to get to Pismo.She sees me then says she is going to check me in- wait huh? You now have a room available.She proceeds to tell me that the room available is more than what I paid. I explain to her that I used my Hilton Honors points. She says she cant see it on her computer I tell her that I dont care what she sees on her end because shes already established that her computer is flawed.For example, me booking a room through the app and her not wanting to honor it and her also saying that there is no room when my app shows there is.She ends up telling me she doesnt like my attitude so she is not going to book a room to me.This has never ever happened at a Hilton and Im sorry that this person is a staff member.Philip, another evening staff saved the day by graciously performing his job and giving our family of four a room.

I recently stayed at one of your Hampton Inn locations in Arroyo Grande, California. To say that I was dissatisfied would be a gross understatement. My check in was confirmed for 1500, and when I arrived at 1515, I was told that the room was not ready. I then had to change my room and when I arrived in the room, I was disgusted by a sticky carpet floor, stained bed sheets, dried fluid on the wall above the bed, the musky smell of marijuana, and stains on the wall of the shower. This was the most unpleasant stay i have ever experienced, so much so that my wife and I cancelled our entire 4 day vacation and drove 300 miles back home after driving in that day. The staff at the front desk provided no help or even an apology. Hilton is supposed to be better than this (room was booked through Hilton honors)Update: Hilton reached out to me and “apologized” via email…. No phone call, no attempt to make things right. A promising vacation ruined by incompetence and ambivalence. Thanks Hilton, your customer service is really outdoing itself 👎

I always stay here for my stacations, usually in the king suite. Its clean, spacious, and comfortable. Only issue I have is when I stayed last weekend my refrigerator wasnt getting cold and melted a whole box of my kids popsicles. They sent someone up who turned the fridge up (which I had already tried), and said theyd be back in 30 mins. I never saw him again. Also the last night I was there I barely had hot water in the shower. Other nights were fine, it was just one night that it didnt get hot. Other than that, staff is friendly and accommodating, breakfast is delicious, and I love having warm cocoa in the evenings in the lobby.

Very Bad experience from the frontdesk. We could not travel to this property as our kid fell sick and i had called up to see if they can reschedule the booking . The lady on the phone was so rude and the moment she heard the kid was sick she went ahead and cancelled my reservation and charged my complete stay..She did not even spend time to answer my questions and was so bad to tell me that this was a busy season and that she can sell my room at a higher price and she hung up the phone .!!! I had to then call up Hilton honors and spend a whole lot of time to revert those charges.PLEASE LISTEN TO THE CUSTOMERS FIRST!!!!
