Staff could be more helpful and friendly, particularly at the Nash restaurant. At Canary Market, the cash system prompts for a tip on every purchase, which felt a bit awkward—especially when buying something simple like a bottle of Coke and wanting to skip tipping. When I booked through Expedia, I wasn’t aware of the resort fee or what it covered at the destination. That came as a surprise, and having clearer information upfront would have helped with planning. Overall, I loved the room view. Cleanliness was solid (4/5). The coffee machines, however, could use a more thorough cleaning and maintenance. I have some feedback on the flight part of my package that I hope I get a chance to relay.

The hotel had poor order coming from the Bay Area inside the hotel, the double door was not fully functional working after hours they put signs to detour. Not all elevators had the key card reader available inside the elevator. And inside the restaurant it had smelled we died only there once and nothing after it smelled like a plumbing.

No real breakfast options as far as I could find. Coffee (Starbucks) was difficult to find and because of construction had to go to parking garage then down to find it. Late night options were not great (after event) . Because the Hilton is away from the center, you would think the understaffed eatery would be busy, but, they were not. The checkin host could barely speak english, and was otherwise distracted our entire exchange. for the price you expect at least a moderate to high level. The place is aging and needs upgrades too. We have stayed there many times over the years because of location to Shell and Baseball, but, perhaps it is time to search wider..

The bathtub in our room was extremely stained and the area across from the market appeared to be under construction. Also, it was a busy weekend and the front desk was a bit slow getting people checked in. We also found out as we were purchasing bottle of water from the market, that we were supposed to be provided “tokens” for complimentary waters upon check-in but we were not, so ended up spending an additional $30-ish for 4 waters. Other than that, everything was great. Our room was otherwise clean, the drinks and cheeseboard at the bar were delicious, valet was fast, and the staff were helpful and friendly. The on-site Starbucks and market were convenient and we appreciated being walking distance from restaurants, Petco Park, the convention center.

Cons: Wish parking had been included - we had to pay out of pocket so that was unexpected and very pricey. For the price, breakfast would have been nice. We got water cards for containers but those got taken away in a room cleanup for some reason. Pros: Room was perfect and roomy with a great view. Hotel is a great venue for conferences. Housekeepers were very sweet and always concerned abt whether we needed our rooms cleaned.
