It really is like visiting a sister, very discreet, and warm. Anne's cookies are outstanding and everything helps the lone traveler, as i was, feeling confortably at home Mirko

We spent four Coranado Room/two in the Balboa Room and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were visiting San Diego on our honeymoon and could not have stumbled upon a more perfect getaway. To be completely honest, Hillcrest B&B became a "home-away-from-home" providing both immaculate facilities and warm staff. Ann was fantastic. We woke up every morning to a delicious, portion-perfect... More

We spent 4 nights in the Balboa Room and enjoyed our time. Ann is a delightful hostess with a wealth of knowledge about the area and will help with directions and insights into the attractions. The bed was the most comfortble we have splept on during our trip. The location is great, close to the airport, zoo, freeways, etc. The... More

My wife and I look forward to celebrating our Wedding Anniversary every year in San Diego. And what better way to spend the weekend there is to stay at the Hillcrest House Bed & Breakfast. The house is immaculate, rooms are very very clean and beautiful and Ann is just the best, she's like an old friend you haven't seen... More

We particularly loved the neighborhood, ease of getting around and wonderful restaurants nearby. Our hostess, Ann, was gracious and provided some well-appreciated restaurant suggestions. Our room was small but adequate for two people, very clean, with lots of character befitting a craftsman style bungalow. We'd definitely return.

The place is outstanding. Ann makes whatever is possible as the guest can feel like home. Is an unsual experience to be hosted like you're really a guess in a friend's house. The accomodations are good, and the breakfast, awesome. Is a place to feel home, even away from home.

OMG found Hillcrest Bed and Breakfast on line, but after talking with Ann knew we wanted to stay there. It was our first time in San Diego and she made us feel so welcome. the place is beautiful and warm and inviting, my only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. Next visit we will be staying a few days..

we had a wonderful time . Our time in San Diego was short but Ann lead us in the right direction when it came to dinning out. She also suggested a trolley tour that we took. That was well worth our time. We plan to come back and Stay with Ann again.

We had a lovely time returning to Hillcrest House, enjoyed the HIllcrest and Mission Hills neighborhoods, and of course wonderful conversations with Ann and other guests from near and far. The elegant and straightforward Mission style decoration was inspiring and comfortable, and once again I wish we'd had more time to enjoy the lovely porches, living rooms and gardens. The... More

We returned to Hillcrest House B&B once again. Ann is always so warm and friendly and does such a great job making you feel comfortable and at home. Breakfasts are terrific with her homemade baked goods and the fresh made cookies available all day long are a real treat. Can't wait to go back again. And oh, by the way,... More
