There are two hiltons in the area (walkably close) so make sure it's the "gaslamp" one if you want to be admist the gaslamp quarter. My hubby & I had a king room with a wonderful comfy bed. We requested a street side room, so that we could people watch the party crowd. It could be noisy with the windows... More

There are two buildings, the main hotel and the Lofts. The latter is adjacent to the main building and is accessed via an outdoor passage. We stayed in the Lofts. The room was fine, spacious and clean, no problems there. The unusual feature is the air conditioning. There is no central air conditioning. Instead there is a large portable unit,... More

I stayed here last week and the location is great. It is right in the gaslamp south area near the restaurants, clubs, bars, and convention center. The room is nice with big bathroom, but the balcony is very small. I had the view to Hard Rock hotel and it was a nice view. I think the strength of this hotel... More

Recenlty I've visited San Diego for a conference held on a nearby hotel and some friends recommended the Hilton Gaslamp Quarter as the best located hotel in the neighborhood. I took the chance and I do not regret. The hotel has a great location and is within walking distance from very good restaurants, shops, and attractions, just as the Petco... More

Went for a couple of nights to San Diego. This hotel is wonderfully located in the Gaslamp Quarter of SD. However, there are tracks for railway and cablecars nearby. Therefore, I woke up numerous times at night when I heard the horns of the railways. This not very pleasant if you want a restful sleep. Also, the furniture and the... More

Day 1: I checked into this hotel (my visit visit to San Diego) and was given a room in the 7th floor. The toilet had stains and the tub had stains as well. The towels were a shade yellow NOT white. Since the room was big, I was like just two days I can manage. Then I opened a draw... More

We got a really terrific deal (on one of the deal sites) for a five night stay over spring break. Pros: Excellent service, from the bellhop and front desk to the concierge and housekeeping, everyone was friendly and responsive. We requested a quiet room so our toddler could sleep better (we had heard about the train whistles, etc.) They gave... More

Great location in the Gaslamp District. Walk to shopping, restaurants, bars, dessert, and the Padres stadium. Nice, friendly employees who will remember you on a return visit.

At almost $400 a night, I was not all that impressed with this hotel. Admittedly, it is in a great location, direct across from the Convention Center, but I feel for this price, the hotel should be better updated, The shower was terrible, low water pressure and confusing on/off... The parking, though "Standard" for the area, was $40 a night... More

I went with my wife to a meeting in San Diego and we chose the Hilton Gaslamp Quarter, just in front of the Convention Center, across the street. Location is one of the advantages to stay there. You are only steps from Four and Five Street, with cents of bars and restaurants and a shopping mall. The reception was polite... More
