Everything was great. I do recommend maybe opening the bar at an earlier time rather than 4pm. We arrived early and we had our belongings and while we waited until a room was available it would've been nice to sit at the bar and have a drink.

Absolutely amazing!!!! Pool was amazing! Staff around the pool are very attentive and I never had to look around for someone to orders drinks or food. Maybe a slight disadvantage is that there are not enough pool chairs for all of the guests so you may want to arrive early to the pool if you need a chair. There are multiple convenient stores on property too incase you need anything as well as a gift shop. Very close to Gaslamp district as well as Petco Park. Many restaurants and bars nearby as well. I also arrived a few hours earlier than check in and they were able to give me a room even on a Saturday. Nothing but great things to say about this property.

One night stay in San Diego

We had a great stay. Very easy check in and check out. Hotel was really nice and location was perfect. Walking distance to pretty much anything you would want to do in San Diego. Would definitely stay here again. We went the Padre game and then had a great steak dinner at Lou and Mickeys
View walk from the Hilton to Petco Park
Our neighbors at the game.  San Diego is always fun.

First and foremost, I don’t ever write reviews so it really takes alot for me to do so. I booked a 1 night 2 bed hotel with the additional charge of parking. I was unable to add the other 3 vehicles online so after booking I called. I was on the phone with a representative who informed me that additional vehicles were going to be charged at the front desk at the same price online. Day of check-in I was informed that the additional vehicles were going to be $50 dollars each, while online i payed $6 for the one truck. I was hugely upset and will no longer be booking future stays at this Hilton.

I was not happy with the help we needed and we did not get it. All we ask was to park on the side of the hotel for one night due to coming back from an event and we was not able to meet the garage height, and the hotel customer service said NO we are sorry.
