Overall, I did like the hotel. The room was nice, clean, and what I would have expected from a Hilton. The person who checked me in was very friendly. The one thing I did not like is that I had to pay $15 to park my car in their outdoors parking lot. If I had parked in their garage, the charge would have been somewhat acceptable but the outdoors parking lot that is shared by other businesses??? It didn't seem reasonable.

Well, I chose this place because it had a hot tub and I have a busted knee and I needed it after all that walking at the Safari Park. And the people who worked there told me where the hot tub was. Nobody mentioned it was empty with caution, tape around it.

This was a good hotel in Rancho Bernardo, in a good quiet location. Property was clean. Staff friendly. Basic services. Four o’clock check-in is a bit late, with 12 o’clock check out. A day’s reservation should be 24 hours. Not sure how US hotel industry is allowed to do this to its consumers. Aside from late check in time, nice hotel.

3 Star but great value!

Room next to main hallway was incredibly noisy and very hard to sleep! The pillows were the absolute worst. The mini fridge did not have the typical small freezer top to put small items. The coffee machine was broken. The room had a musty smell almost like someone had previously smoked in it. Pool was not heated either. Definitely the lowest quality Hilton I have ever stayed at.

For the most part this hotel is not bad but Hilton has an overall problem in general. They charge for every extra amenity they offer. From the $3 bottled water in the rooms to a breakfast that is expensive, really really limited and just disappointing. I can stay at a Fairfield Inn (Marriott International) for the same price, the hotels are usually nicer, have more free to lower priced amenities and a breakfast that is outstanding and comes with the stay. We recently stayed at an Embassy Suite which is also owned by Hilton and it was horrible (major maintenance issues). Frankly, in my humble opinion, Hilton truly needs to wake up, step up their game and put more focus into their customers and property needs.

The people at the front desk are always so rude - like we’re bothering them when we get there. Info provided was wrong about their own property. And the ceiling was falling part In the breakfast room we had for our group - embarrassing. Not going to stay here moving forward. This property has been on the decline over the years. I’ve been coming for 7 years for an event and it was just terrible this last time.
