We had some really dirty sheets. I mean worse than an anything that I have seen before. I told the hotel about it and then really didn't give much. I don't think they took it seriously. I won't stay there ever again.

The rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

There was a strong urine smell outside the hotel right before the bay area walkway that we had to plug our noses to walk by each time. Its right on the corner of the outside dining area for the restaurant.

Also, outside the elevator there is s drop box for the room key, but if your parked in the garage you need it to get out. That would have been nice to know before we put our room key in the drop box as we had a difficult time trying to figure it out and find and attendant who said a lot of guests do it

Other than that, it was a very nice hotel in a nice area with alot to do

We paid $55 a night to park but the arms on the parking garage often didn't work so it was such a hassle to get in and out of the parking garage. Also the door to our hotel room didn't shut correctly so we had to pull it really hard to close it. Other than that it was nice. The hotel is in a good area and the front desk was very kind.

We stayed for one night. I don't travel much within the U.S., so I don't stay at hotels here very often. Because of that, I never really expected bed bugs.
However, I ended up with terrible bug bites on my arms and legs. Later, I realized they may have been bed bug bites, especially because I was wearing long pants and shoes during the day but still had bites on my legs and feet. The only time I can think of when my legs were exposed was when I slept wearing shorts and no socks.
Since that experience, I have been nervous about staying at hotels.

The staff were not very helpful (one exception was the late night gentlman), the bathrooms were dirty and toilet had flushing issues, they charged a \"resort fee\" when I checked in at 12:45 am and departed at 10:45 am. I stayed based on photos posted and got a trailer dump view. Shame of a hotel.

The room was clean. The view was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was there alone and didn't take part in breakfast. I did grab coffee at the market. It was good. The drinks by the pool were a little pricey because they automatically add in an 18% gratuity. They were decent drinks though. They do offer towels by the pool. In my opinion the music by the pool was terrible so bring your own. I will absolutely stay here again.

Room was overall clean enough for a germaphobe like me. Bed and pillows comfortable but my husband said the bed was too firm for him. The duvet needs to be changed out. They use two bed sheets to sandwich the duvet instead of a duvet cover so easy to see how old the duvet is and all the stains.

Was crowded during the July 4th weekend. Pool was packed with kids. Pool is also small for this size hotel.

I liked that the hotel is on the waterfront thus making it an ideal location to see fireworks. Within walking distance to convention center, Gas Lamp District and Petco Park.

Parking was $55 for self parking.

Many elevators so going up/down was fast.

Gym was small but was clean and well equipped with free weights and machines.

The hotel was nice and clean, and so was the room.
My complaint with the room is that there's no air flow.
The lowest you can set the room to is 68, can't even turn on the fan to circulate the air.
The window is a solid piece of glass, so there's no opening it to get air flow or to enjoy the evening fresh air.
The other complaint is with the front desk.
I had to ask them a couple of things and they just seemed annoyed that I would even ask them.
The hotel itself was greatly located, but I will pass on ever staying there again.
5 nights with a $625 incidental hold, then they kept $243 for their resort fee or whatever.
Plus, if you drive, they charge $75 per night to park your car there, even if you're staying at the hotel.

We stayed 2 nights here. Our first impression of the hotel was the beautiful lobby near the bayfront. Checkin took a long time as there was a long line so I do think they might need more staff in front. We were lucky to get a corner room on a high level so we had a room with vast, absolutely beautiful views looking out toward the water and across from Petco Park.
The bathroom was nice, lots of counter space, luxurious shower body wash, shampoo, and conditioner products from Crabtree and Evelyn. I used the coffee maker to make tea, wished there were a wider assortment of teabags. There was only 2 bags provided.
We used self-parking which was expensive, which would be our biggest complaint, but otherwise it was pretty easy to get in and out. The hotel gives you $15 worth of food and beverage credit each day to use in the hotel so we spent it at Starbucks that is on the promenade level of hotel. This hotel was my son's favorite out of the 3 that we stayed at that week. We will likely stay here again the next time we are in San Diego.

Location is great! However it’s really annoying that you pay this amount of money and have the soap dispenser run out in the middle of a shower and pillows that prop nothing up! I also realize that cleaning is necessary but knocking on the door at 8:30 to clean is a bit much. I mean not everyone is going out at the crack of dawn. Frustrating for the price.

I arrived late in the evening after international travel to find that Expedia and Hilton had oversold the king bed I booked and the hotel was fully sold out. I was placed in an accessible suite that had just undergone a “deep clean,” but it was not guest‑ready: dirty dishes were left at the door, the AC was off and not working, and the room was far too hot to stay in. Further, the accessible suite has a shower and bathroom that share the same floor - not what I booked, nor wanted - but I seemed to have no other choice

Management said they would better prepare the room, but when I returned around midnight, the AC still wasn’t cooling and the dishes were still there. The only alternative offered was a downgrade to a double‑queen room located directly in the elevator foyer of a lower floor, which would have been extremely noisy, so I declined.

I returned to the original suite, where the AC finally began working around 1 a.m. after multiple complaints and calls to guest services. It took until 3–4 a.m. for the room to cool enough to sleep, leaving me exhausted me exhausted for my stay the next day. The next evening, the AC failed again requiring more intervention - the settings Hilton uses does not prioritize guests.

When you book a 4‑star Hilton, you expect the room type you paid for, a clean and prepared space, and basic comfort like working air conditioning. This stay missed the mark on all of those points and significantly impacted my two‑night trip. I won’t be returning.

The hotel location and views are great as well as the patio, bar and sitting areas. That is what you pay for. The rooms are nice and clean but nothing fancy. Pretty basic. We were there over Fourth of July weekend so obviously it was a popular time, but the pool area was packed. No lounge chairs available throughout the day and many families had multiple chairs saved when the kids were in the pool the whole time. But get that this is a common problem at hotels. Unless you were able to get out and snag a chair early, many people had to sit at the tables in the bar area. Great location for the Big Bay Boom fireworks and very convenient to walk to the Seaport Village and Gaslamp Quarter.

We spent 4 nights here. The hotel staff were not always helpful and checking in was chaotic and I had to wait in line 3 times. We also had issues coming in and out of the parking garage. They give you a free reusable water bottle as a part of your resort fee. This is an aluminum bottle of water that tastes like it is from the hose outside. The pool area was clean but very small for the size of the property. One boys soccer team basically took over the whole place. Food and drinks were very expensive. It was ok. Not terrible.

Unfortunately, the experience was significantly impacted by cleanliness concerns around the pool area. While using the hot tub, we noticed multiple cockroaches near the food and restaurant areas adjacent to the pool. Seeing pests in an area where guests are relaxing and dining was very disappointing and raised concerns about sanitation and maintenance.
Beautifully situated right along the bayfront with gorgeous views, and it’s within easy walking distance to both the Gaslamp Quarter and Petco Park, which made exploring the area incredibly convenient. The property itself is attractive, and the location was definitely the highlight of our stay.
This hotel has an excellent location and a lot of potential, but improved pest control and attention to the pool and dining areas would greatly improve the guest experience.

I traveled with my German Shepard BruceWayne, my Husband and 2 adult- Kids. The property is HUGE. The on-site Restaurant was good. There's a Market store for quick groceries and coffee/pastry Cafe. Across is a Souvenir store. Directly outside is the Marina and the path stretches for at least a mile(I tapped out) if you have your dog theres a LARGE green grassy area where dogs can play. Its at the corner of the hotel. Honestly about 25 steps from the ramp leading out of the hotel. A STARBUCKS is also on the side of the hotel. The Parking Garage has a bridge where you can Walk right over into the Gaslamp quarter. We will DEFINITELY stay here again!
