Guest rating: 4.5 / 5
Hampton Inn & Suites Imperial Beach San Diego is a casual, 3-star hotel in Imperial Beach at 771 Palm Ave, set on a retail park just off State Highway 75. It’s about a mile from the Imperial Beach Pier and roughly 8 miles from Border Field State Park, making it a convenient base for the South Bay coast. Rooms are straightforward and equipped with sofabeds, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi, microwaves, and coffeemakers; some units add minifridges. On-site amenities include an indoor pool, a gym, a snack shop, and a meeting room, with breakfast and parking available. From here, popular San Diego-area sights such as Coronado Beach and Hotel del Coronado, the USS Midway Museum, Petco Park, and Balboa Park (including the San Diego Zoo and major museums) are within driving distance. Silver Strand State Beach is also nearby for beach time outside the city core.
Best for
Well-suited to travelers who want a reliable, midrange hotel with practical in-room conveniences (microwave, Wi‑Fi, sofabed) and easy road access for exploring Imperial Beach, Coronado, and central San Diego attractions. It also fits guests who value on-site basics—indoor pool, gym, snack shop, and breakfast—over a resort-style setting.
Travel tips
Because the hotel sits just off State Highway 75, light sleepers may want to request a quieter room location and plan for road noise at night. Use the property as a jumping-off point for coastal stops like Imperial Beach Pier and Silver Strand State Beach, then drive north for Coronado Beach, Seaport Village, Petco Park, and the USS Midway Museum. If you’re visiting Balboa Park (including the San Diego Zoo and major museums), plan extra time for city traffic and parking, especially on weekends.
