This was our second visit to the Hilton San Diego resort, this time for a full week in mid-November. The setting is beautiful, and the property is situated perfectly for those visiting anywhere in the greater San Diego area. While the outside of our building was a bit motel-like, inside, the room was clean and surprisingly large, with a full wall of windows (and sliding glass door) leading out onto a "lanai." (More like a simple balcony, actually.) Our only quibbles: Our second-floor room could only be reach by outside stairs, not by elevator. For those with heavy suitcases, this is an annoyance. And, two, be prepared for very spotty service in the Acqua restaurant. We ate almost every breakfast there (and one lunch) and, except for one day, had waits of 10-15 minutes merely to place an order (regardless of how busy the restuarant actually was). Getting the check can take another 15-20 minutes. We ended up scheduling an hour for breakfast. In addition to the wait, though, we ordered the same thing most mornings...and our plates were prepared differently most days; there seems to be no standards for which size glasses to use, or for what items typically accompany a given entree. This wasn't necessarily bad. But it did demonstrate a lack of consistency that I found curious. We are Hilton fans. And I don't believe we'd think twice about staying at this property again; its location and amenities are perfect for us (and it's always nice to go back to a known entity). We were literally seconds away from I-5, minutes from Old Town and Sea World, and a very easy drive to the airport, Seaport Village, Fashion Valley Mall, etc.

Room was small. The staff was not very friendly and information about hotel amenities, services or information about the surrounding was not readily available. The pool was nice. Food and drink very pricey. Babies with swim diapers not allowed in the main pool.

All I have to say is awsome. The staff was very helpful with everything. The hotel was close to most of what we wanted to do and within minutes of everything else. Every night when we came back from a busy day we could always count on the most comfortable bed in the world to rest and fall asleep on. The only thing I could complain about was the high prices at the hotel restaurant.

Parking is a rip-off. Take a cab or stay away!!!

Other than the parking fees and the Gym fees, it was fine. Why doesn't managment take a close look at these ridiculous fees. Why nickel and dime your guests during an economic time like this. Certainly people will choose to stay at a hotel that is a better value.

Great hotel but BEWARE OF FEES!

We loved this hotel, the pool was great our room was great and our view was great. We have three children and they had a wonderful time and would have been happy to stay at this hotel our entire vacation. When we checked out we were stunned when we were charged $22 a night to park our car in the parking lot. It was not valet parking or anything special - just to park our car in the regular lot! This is in addition to your nightly room fee and we were never told about this until check out! Also one night when we ate at the hotel restaurant our waiter asked us if we would like some water - after agreeing he brought us some bottled water and we were charged $15 for it! It is a great hotel, close to Sea World and the Zoo, but they really stick the fees to you when they can!
