I would recommend this hotel for a short get away and like the personal touch of staff going above and beyond to make it special for our anniversary. It has beautiful views of bay and downtown. it is walking distance to boat house and have shuttles to downtown. I liked the gym which was clean and had several elliptical machines with TV on each machine. The lounge was nice and good place to read during the day. The room was well decorated and clean. Some of TV stations weren't clear. I wouldn't recommend the buffet but menu items looked good.

Positives: Service was excellent. They made our anniversary special with beautiful room on top floor. Front desk and transport staff got to know us.

Negatives: We had breakfast buffet at end of time and some of food was cold but when asked for more bacon they brought fresh extra plate.

We found this hotel outstanding. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were very clean and a good size. The restaurant had a very good breakfast buffet with a very nice view of the marina. Even though it was located close to the airport, we never had an airplane disturb us. What a view! Loved our stay!

Positives: Friendly staff, GREAT views, great value for the price.

Negatives: No refrigerator, $17.00 a day parking was way too much.

Positives: Clean and nice views.

Negatives: Location. Too far away from downtown.

It's in a great location for airport travelers, beautiful location nice pool and views from the room, but if you have space issues don't stay at this hotel! Find another one! It's a really a 2.5 star moderate.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Standard beds are 2 Full beds instead of 2 queen size bed or one queen bed not enough king beds in the hotel.

For the Hilton I expected more. When we got there we were stuck with a single bed. Now I have 2 young kids 5 and 7. We drove all night and got to the hotel at 1:30am Saturday, they wanted to send us to another hotel so we would have 2 beds then come back in the morning to see if a double room is open. This was silly to say the least. Not only was I not going to travel around 1:30am but I was not going spend time jumping back and forth between hotels. We stayed at the hotel, got a role away bed that was rock solid. I woke up at 6:45am went back to the front desk requesting the room. They did finally move us into a double room at around 10:00am. Then we could start our vacation.

Positives: The food was good.

Negatives: The lady working in the night shift was very rude.

Easy check in, but no help with our luggage when we arrived. Assigned a room without a great view, directly over the restaurant AC unit. A strange hum could be heard periodically through the walls. We weren't bothered enough by it to try to be relocated after settling in with my infant daughter and her crib that we had already set up. We couldn't figure out if it was hotel equipment or something from a room from a group of college students staying there for an engineering competition. Other than the view and hum, the rest was very good. Had breakfast in the restaurant that was good.

Positives: Great views if you have the right room.

Negatives: Annoying hum that persisted on and off throughout the day. It generally stopped after 9:00 pm.

Comfortable and clean a little older facility but very nice and staff was nice and let us stay in the pool yard an hour over the time limit.

Positives: On the water and nice bedding.

Negatives: Staff was late letting us have our room.

They could do better.

Positives: Front desk was helpful.

Negatives: Some of the rooms only views were of the air units.

The housekeeping could have been better. Each day they forgot to either clean up something or didn't leave coffee, soap, etc. Location was pretty but far from everything touristy. Overall, probably wouldn't stay again except for business.

Positives: The beds were comfortable.

Negatives: Housekeeping wasn't the greatest.

Asked for a king size bed and they gave us a queen. The door to the outside of the building (I believe) could be heard slamming all night, so could barely sleep. There was a party up to 2 am in the next room and no one came to shut them up. Would have expected better from a Hilton.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Bed, comfort.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 23 Jul 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

The hotel was clean but out of the way.

Positives: The location was idea if you wanted to be near the bay and boats.

Negatives: Very hard to find for a person who didn't know the area.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 23 Jul 2008 rated 5 out of 10.

I wasn't impressed by the superior floor and turn down service and yet only get a mediocre or even sub-par quality for the room. I really hated the bathroom since it's nothing you'd expect of a hotel type. Every time someone takes a shower in the next room's), I could also hear the sound of water pipe rattling. The only nice thing I liked about it is the view and location - since it's not that close to the downtown area, it gives a nice calm scenery. The staffs is also friendly, but I didn't even get any complementary dessert. Don't know if it's something you have to pay extra for, but since the customer in front of me got it, I don't see why I shouldn't.

Positives: The location's are pretty neat. I liked the view of the city at night and the harbor in the morning.

Negatives: Room's are pretty tiny. The bathroom's the smallest I've ever seen for the price.

The hotel is very comfortable, clean and quiet. The location is ideal. Right by the airport, near Downtown San Diego, on a strip of land between the harbor and a bay with boats docks. You get a panoramic view of the city skyline from your balcony. Very safe to walk around at night. No noise from the airport. Downside, you need to be prepared to pay $17.00 a night to park and $11.00 per 24 hours of internet usage. I was really irritated with the internet charge being that most cheap motels give you free wireless. It isn't even wireless.

Positives: Right on the water, beautiful views and quiet.

Negatives: Parking is $17.00 a day and the internet is $11.00 a day, that's a lot of unexpected charges.

The hotel staff would not allow us to move even though the air vent in our room was making noise so loud that it woke us up from a sound sleep. Very difficult to sleep and staff was not accommodating at all. The shuttle service was the only saving grace - the drivers were very polite and helpful.

Positives: Shuttle service to wherever we wanted to go.

Negatives: The air vent was so noisy that it woke up several times at night. We asked to be moved but they would not move us. Too noisy to sleep.

I loved the hotel, I just felt like we had a bad room location. It was very noisy, first floor and near the lobby. The pool was right outside our window. Already have told others!

Positives: Location was wonderful with friendly staff.

Negatives: Bad room location, near pool and lobby, noisy.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 16 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Positives: The location was perfect for our requirements.

Negatives: We do not have any negative comments.
