Great stay, good price. But again, you are paying extra costs (Parking, other servives) at a higher price..either because of the name of the place or the going rates in that area.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful Mission Bay"
There is lots to do in the surrounding area, especially if you are traveling with kids.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very happy"
This was awesome!! We had 2 little kids and the pool area was so perfect! It had a kids pool and an adult pool, 2 jacuzzis, cabanas, ping pong, large sized chess set, and more. The room was very nice, comfortable and clean with a great view. There is a coffee shop and quite a large gift shop. There are tons of restaurants about a mile away. Check in […] was super fast and easy. It is not far from Sea World but we didn't leave except to go get food. (hotel food was SUPER expensive) Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Location, location, location"
We rented bikes and cruised around Mission Bay. Perfect location to quickly get to the Zoo, Balboa Park, Gas Lamp, and Old Town districts! Great restaurants and night life around. All around very good hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"To spread out"
My room and the kids rooms were to far apart and the only place to eat was not cheap and not that great!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"False Advertising"
I booked a room in a tower as per the reservation. My tower consisted of 2 floors with us on the first floor. They were having an event when we arrived, so there was no parking for the hotel. At breakfast, there was a maggot in our food. Would not recommend this hotel. I am a Hilton Honors member and this is not Hilton quality.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great place to stay"
The Hilton did not disapoint. Got a great rate on Hotels.com. Close to everything we wanted, tons of stuff to do on the property, pool, hot tub, quiet space and it was right on Mission Bay. Staff was friendly and helpful, and the food in the resturaunt was very good. My only complaint was no wifi in the rooms only dial up. I think that is a Hilton thing […] because we ran into the same issue in San Francisco a month ago. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good value for family vacationers"
We had a very relaxing time by the pool and beach the entire week. The main improvement I would suggest would be the menu selection t the restaurant. The food was very good but since we ate there for nearly every meal our 4 year-old quickly tired of the choices. It would be nice to see a broader selection of menu items for both adults and kids in the […] future. Other than that, the Hilton name speaks for itself. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Poorly maintained hotel!"
My room smelt like mold and mildew. The smell was so strong, I could not breath and decided to check out earlier. My children, 7 & 8 years old, felt sick from the smell. The hotel clerk offered to have the room cleaned but it didnt do any good. They offered me another room but it was much, much smaller. This hotel is not clean. I felt like i could not […] take my shoes off in the room because the carpeting was so smelly. If you walk by the rooms in the evening, there are still breakfast trays out in front of the doors. Its in a great location and has great amernities like a nice pool etc, but the rooms are terible. Definitely not 4 star like they claim. I checked into the Disneyland hotel right after and the rooms were beautiful, clean and cheaper! Both are 4 star hotels but what a difference! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great Hotel / Watch for Hidden Fees"
My girlfriend and I stayed at this hotel for an extended weekend. The hotel room was great and very clean. The amenities were very nice and added to the overall satisfaction of our stay. The location was central to all destinations including downtown and the coast beach communities. The only issue was the hidden parking fees charged by the hotel. I […] live in the Bay Area and accustom to parking fees. However, this hotel added a $39 a day parking fee. Obviously that adds up quickly. The parking fee was more than our rental car! The guest services at the hotel were able to drop the price to $32 a night and gave us one day free. It was still a large cost that was not disclosed at the time of booking which I believe to be unacceptable. Unfortunately, due to the additional charge our stay was not as great as we would have liked. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Would have loved to be able to have free internet access in the room and more food choices pool side. Refrigerator did freeze some drinks. Overall a very relaxing vacation and bed very comfortable. Thanks!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Close to sights to see"
Room was what we expected for what we paid. Bay view was blocked by tree. We're able to change rooms, but balcony was dirty.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Place to Stay!"
I would definitely recommend staying at this Hilton Resort. We experienced superior customer service throughout our stay and was assisted greatly by Marlon, one of the Bellmen. He gave us great suggestions of places to visit and very helpful directions, as it was our first time in San Diego. As far as the room goes, everything was very comfortable as […] we had the Garden Villa Room #620. The patio overlooked a common area that was convenient to the parking lot (which is great when you have 5 people and 9 pieces of luggage). We will definitely stay here again on our return visit as everything was so close and convenient. Also loved the great access to the I-5 as it took us everywhere we needed to go!

"Disappointed for the value I expect from Hilton"
WOW, this place has taken a dramatic turn for the worse since we last stayed here 2 years ago. Positives - (1) Hotel is placed a great location and it is truly a beautiful and spacious property. (2) Pool area still offers a fun environment for the kids. Negatives - (1) Parking fees were atrociously high. (2) Staff were non-responsive in many different […] areas of the hotel (restaurant, pool and front desk). (3) Our room was missing the smoke detector, there was black mold on the ceiling above the shower and our sliding door to the lanai was nearly off the tracks. (4) The tower area we stayed in was run down and it looks like there hasn't been any improvements done to the property in two years. (5) Now you have to rent the poolside cabanas at a ridiculous price when they use to be first come, first serve. We were very disappointed to say the least, especially for the quality we expect from Hilton. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Scenic waterfront layout"
Overall quite satisfied. Everything one could need was convenient. Many locations and ways to relax within the complex. We were upgraded a bit when our standard room wasn't ready when we arrived--no hassle. Wish that the wireless could reach into the rooms, for those times when sitting in a public area is not convenient. Found the rooms relatively soundproof, […] compared to other hotels. Given its location and cost of transport from the hotel, might be more economical to rent a car if you plan to sightsee very much. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hilton Mission Bay, San Diego, CA"

"Great location"
Beautiful hotel. Great location. Great room service. Clean, safe, quiet and beautiful. This was a great location for our San Diego vacay. It's only a few minute drive to Old Town and it's within walking distance (about a mile) to Sea World. It was was central to everything we did including the airport (15 minutes with traffic), harbor whale watching […] tour (15 minute drive) and close to Mission beach (Minute Drive). It's located on Mission Bay and there are miles and miles of walking paths along the bay. There are two different children's play areas within a 5 minute walk from hotel. We stayed 9 days at this hotel and it was a great hub for all of the many things we did in the area. Be aware that the hotel charges a daily parking fee (ours was $28/day). It's just something to be aware of. Also, we did not have wireless in our room. There was a cable to plug in for internet, but we only brought an iPad which requires wireless. Again, just something to be aware of. However, there was wireless in the lobby area. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Relaxing and great hotel to bring the family."
We were looking for a hotel to get away from everyday life and were extremely pleased upon arrival. The hotel is situated right on Mission Bay where you have access to lots of water activities or long walks around the bay. The hotel staff is very pleasant and helpfull. Our room was in the one of the villas- we upgraded our room after booking it on Hotels.com […] upon arrival when we found out that there was no view in our original view. The room was facing the bay however it was a bit chilly. The cold air was coming through the sliding glass doors. We just kept the heater on at a decent temperature and dealt with it. The massage was excellent- I highly recommend their Hot Stone Massage. The pools were heated which made it very enjoyable for everyone on Christmas Day. No major complaints- oh except for the parking fees. $32 dollars per night is a bit ridiculous. Hotels really shouldn't charge for parking unless it's a congested city like NYC. All in all, I would come back again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great Location very Kid Friendly!"
Great locations for: SeaWorld, Mission Bay and Belmont Park all just minutes away. Hotel grounds are very werll maintained and the pool area is very kid friendly. We were so happy with the overall value - not too expensive. When we checked in, they even gave us a breakfast voucher! Very happy and would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hilton Resort and Spa in San Diego"
I stayed in this hotel for two nights. I booked a king bed and unfortunately got two queens. To be fair, this is according to the hotels.com policy, that the room type, beds are not guaranteed. After some discussions and declining any additional fees, they gave me another room with a king bed. I was told, that it will take one hour, to clean the room […] and they will call me, when the room is ready. After two and a half our I returned to the hotel and the room was ready, but I never received a call. However, the first impression of the room was good, but the second view offered several lacks of cleaniness. A chewing gum at the bed table, dirt in the shower and also a lot of dust in the towel shelves. It was late and I was just happy to sleep. The next day in San Diego was great, but upon my return, I had to notice, that there was no room service at all that day. It was late already and I decided to not ask for room service, instead I planned to write a complain. At this time, I am still waiting for any response. The location is good, but be aware of an additional $30 for parking at the hotel. There is no other parking possibility. Food and dinner locations are not in any walking distance or close by.

"Hilton San Diego"
We were very happy with our stay here. We had put a do not disturb sign on our door for housekeeping but they called at the end of the day to make sure we did not need anything replaced in our room. Decor of the room was nice as well. The only downside to the hotel was the $28.00 parking fee each day. Even though most hotels charge these fees now, I […] felt like the fee was a bit high. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"key issues"
Our disk keys did not work on two separate occasions during a 24 hour stay. The staff did correct the issue, but late at night with young kids waiting outside for 20 minutes, was not ideal. We got a great deal on the room, but price was bumped up to 5 times the first night rate per room the next night and we left. Very dated rooms. Would not recommend […] this hotel at all.

"Quick Stay"
We arrived at 10pm for a quick night sleep because our vacation rental wasn't available until the next day. Seeing it was a Hilton we thought it would be a decent hotel. We were wrong. We were placed right outside the elevator on the 4th floor. There were very inconsiderate hotel guests who checked in after us and they were very loud getting to their […] rooms and getting ice. I would have asked to move but it was 10pm, I was traveling with a 3 & 6 year old and we had been on the road all day. This isn't the hotels fault but the tissue paper thin walls are. I can tell you verbatim their conversations. Both my girls had colds and there was not any tissues in the room. My 3 year old could not reach the toilet paper from the toilet and our TV was not plugged in. They charged us $28 to self park our car which were weren't told about, it just showed up on our bill- they later removed the charge. And they claim to be a non smoking hotel but not even 2 feet from the door is ash trays. We walked out of our building into a sea of smokers. Just what I wanted my children to breathe! All I really need at a hotel is a good night sleep. This is obviously not a good choice for that! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa"
Nice hotel and property, although it was starting to show its age on the outside. The rooms were updated and pretty decent. The pool area was great, but the beach was more of a sandy stretch along a river and jogging path. It's proximity to I-5 made it really convenient, but you could hear trucks on the highway at night.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hilton San Diego Resort & Spa"
No elevator or escaltor - heavy luggage had to be carried up steps to the second floor. Parking was horrendous - very small, tight, and limited spaces in addition to a hefty parking charge per day ...not at all close to the building we were assigned; very inconvenient when dealing with several large, heavy, luggage bags and children. Patio was dirty; […] windows in hallways were filthy; the rubber stripping around our room-door was loose and hanging halfway down the door. We were very disappointed in this hotel and would never stay there again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
