“Beautiful location and surroundings”
My wife and I took a quick one night trip and loved it! We wished we would have had more time to stay longer. We spent the evening in the jacuzzi and then hoped out and sat by the poolside fireplace. It was a very nice evening. The only negative we had was the surpise of finding out there was a $28.00 parking charge. It would have been nice if Expedia published this information. That aside, it is an awesome property.
“Will certianly go back”
We have stayed in just about every 5 star resport in California and this one has been our absolute best experience. With 2 small children they catered to our every needs, the room servce was excellent THE FOOD ACTUALLY CAME HOT!!!
“An excellent place we'll return to again”
The hotel was perfect in almost every respect - it was clean very comfortable and the room was great. A perfect last minute vacation trip for us. We will surely return to this hotel - with hopes of getting the same room again and again. The only things that were less than perfect were the towels - as they were kind of odd, not plush and very stiff/rough. Sounds trivial but that is about all I could complain about.
“Will return again soon!”
This was my first time in California, me and my husband were celebrating our 8yr anniversary. My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The staff were extremely courteous and friendly. We arrived a few hours earlier than check in and they up graded our room and allowed us to check in early, no extra charge. The room was simply beautiful. The view was amazing and I just truly enjoyed my stay. The only complain I had was the food was over priced but we found a cab driver to take us to nearest store because we decided to not rent a car. Over all this was best trip I have ever been on and we plan to return and stay at The Hilton again.
“I will go back!”
The service and the food were top notch. The staff was there to serve your needs and they did it very well. The spa was no different. Excellent service from the front desk to the housekeeping staff.
“Excellent place to relax”
Hotel has the resort feel without being too spread out. The pool is excellent with a good kiddie pool. The jacuzzis are a little small and were way too hot during our stay. The room was very comfortable with a nice private balcony. The beach on the bay is also excellent with great water activities for a price. It seemed that room service was over worked and under staffed as we attempted to call and were transferred to the restaurant and were then transferred to room service and placed on "terminal hold". The service at the restaurant was good and the food was excellent. Would definately stay here again.
“great experience”
The Hilton was convenient and efficient. Great for family getaway or business use. Nice ambience and beach amenities considering freeway close exposure. Friendly service, good food, superb coffee! bravo!
“Very nice place to relax”
After reading some of the reviews of this hotel on this site and others, I was very nervous. We had a Garden View room and it was great! They have recently remodeled and everything was nice and fresh. The bathrooms were huge and towels galore! That was a very nice surprise, especially when traveling with 2 teen girls. If you are visiting to hang on the beach, this isn't the beach you want - but I knew that already. The water in Mission Bay is a little bit suspect for swimming in my opinion. However, you are within minutes of a couple of very nice beaches...Pacific Beach my favorite. On the flip side they have a very nice pool to hang out at. The hotel grounds are beautiful and there is a walking/bike path that goes around most of the island. You can rent bikes at the hotel for a fee. My only negative comment would be that for the price you pay, you should not have to pay for parking! Despite that I would go back again....
“Would highly recommend”
Overall this is a very good hotel. The only bad things are: -- No hair dryer in bathroom. -- Non stocked minibar fridge. -- Overpriced room service and Restaurant. But there are more pros than cons.
“Very impressive”
Room was beautiful, people very nice and lots to do...
