We stay in San Diego frequently & had yet to stay at this property. Loved the location as I used to jog on the bay often when living in SD. Having a patio straight out to the bay was beautiful & lovely with the oversized chaise lounges. My only couple complaints were the size of the room was mediocre &... More

We ended our California trip with a 4 day stay at this resort, on arrival we were not impressed with the drabness of the place and the dirty paths and hallways leading to our room, particularly unpleasant is the birds mess everywhere, advise a lot of jet cleaning needed. Our upgraded room was average and our bay view was obliterated... More

The Hilton Resort & Spa was a terrific choice to celebrate our wedding anniversary at. Whitney Peters (Concierge) was nothing short of fantastic. She arranged an upgraded room, champagne and strawberries in our room, and an ocean-side window seat at the Steakhouse at Azul in La Jolla. It all began with a personalized email from Whitney before we checked in,... More

As a Hilton HHonors member, I was excited to try this hotel. The hotel is a good family location just minutes from Sea World and the San Diego Zoo. The hotel is also on a small bay with lots of beach area, playgrounds, bike and jogging trails, and very good pool area. The rooms, while large, were just ok. Ours... More

Even though this resort has a few years under its belt, it is still an appealing hotel. We visited for business/vacation and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The grounds are spacious and picturesque. The service was excellent and the front desk was very helpful in arranging tours and giving restaurant suggestions. Our room was clean and comfortable with a step down... More

I've stayed here twice now with very different results. Front desk staff has been very friendly both times. But the difference in the rooms is amazing. The first time I was upgraded into a waterfront room (villa?) - it had a nice stepdown living area space and huge patio. Was very private and quiet. The next trip i was on... More

We stayed in the villas which was very nice - had a view of the villa. The room was clean and generous in size. Now for the downers: -Parking is over $30USD -No wifi (only available in towers and lobby) -Toilet was finicky Considering the room was over $300, I would have expected more.

Glad to see that you enjoyed your stay! Our villas do offer great views. My personal favorites are the villas overlooking the bay with the private fire pits! I’m also happy to announce that we’ve recently completed a project allowing for all rooms to have wi-fi capabilities, as well as high definition flat screen televisions. Hopefully maintenance was able to... More

Ths hotel is not anything you expect from it's website and perceived staus. First thing you arrive and there is no valet parking..Really? A hotel that charges over $300 a night for a room and you don't have anyone available to park a car. How do they even qualify as a AAA 4 diamond hotel? Isn't that a minimum requirement... More

Thank you for the review. We appreciate the feedback as your thoughts are an integral part of our continued improvement. I apologize for the negative experiences you may have had on our resort. We don’t offer valet services simply because we like to give our guests freedom to park where they wish, without limiting their choices due to reserved valet... More

The location and grounds are superb. Well manicured lawns, nice pool and lounge areas. The rooms are dark and still have acoustic ceilings. The staff are scarce and NEVER answer the phone.

After we got into our rooms, they were very nice and had a good view - we did have trouble with our reservation and one room not being ready for 2 hours after promised. But, the manager did offer a resort credit which we used at the restaurant. We had nice rooms with a view of the bay, and enjoyed... More

Thank you for the review and your patience! Though we strive to get each guest room ready for the arrival of our valued guest, it often times depends on the previous occupant’s checkout. I’m happy to read that you enjoyed your room and the view. The best part about being steps away from the sands of Mission Bay is the... More
