What we did not like is that our room was not ready for us to check-in right away, for example our key card did not work and we had to wait for security to do maintenance twice also not a variety of places to eat at inside the resort hotel. There was no spa on sight for self care like it states in there hotel descriptions , we were not given the right room in the first place I had originally booked and it took forever to have extra toilet paper and tissue paper sent to our room until we had to let hotel staff know that housekeeping forgot to put some in our room after they cleaned in between our stay. The price we paid was not worth it and the room was not up to our standards. It is far away from the marina bay and it is a long walk away from local restaurants to eat at or do some local shopping around the area. Our stay did not allow us to enjoy our anniversary celebration and put a damper in our plans while visiting San Diego causing us to shorten our trip and head back earlier , the hotel needs to have their information updated so that customers are not mislead before booking .

Great staff and overall I would say they do a good job at making sure things are nice and clean. The amenities are elite and EVERYTHING is extremely convenient. They have 2 jacuzzis and their pool is really nice and open too. They had it heated since it ended up being gloomy and chilly around the time we were staying. Only complaint is that our room wasn’t ready when we got there so we had to wait almost 3 hours after checking in, but the customer service did make up for it. They comped our resort fee and gave us $15 a day cards to use at restaurants/cafes in the hotel. Would definitely return

My husband, teen daughter and friend, and I arrived around 9:30pm after a day at Sea World. We were rerouted my lol for check-in due to a wedding. It wasn’t incredibly inconvenient. Check-in was quick. We parked in the garage ($55), walked the pedestrian walk, and went to our room on the 16th floor. The room was clean and comfortable. I had made the reservation for 4 people; however there were only 3 towel sets. Frustrating. Called housekeeping, and they had another set delivered in about thirty minutes. Had to go downstairs to The Cannery to redeem tickets the front desk gave us for water bottles. Kind of inconvenient. Then to refill them, we had to go back to the first floor.

Next morning as were getting ready, we noticed some details that had been overlooked. Looking out the window, there were drips of what appeared to be paint, or maybe sealer, coming from the top of the window sill. The tall lamp by the window had a piece hanging down from if, as did the bed-lamp mounted on the wall. Just details that I didn’t expect to see considering the $220 I spent for the night. The small makeup mirror was a nice touch in the bathroom; however, the light didn’t work on it. Plus, sitting on the counter made it uncomfortable to use.

All in all our stay was good. It’s in the tiny details that expectations tend to get lost.

Our room was not ready at the scheduled check-in time. The manager’s explanation was that they had a large number of new bookings and were calling for staff support. However, we had a confirmed and fully paid booking, and it appeared that the hotel was overbooked, as many families were also waiting for their rooms.

We were initially told that the room was only pending a final staff check and that it would take about 20 minutes. Instead, check-in was delayed for more than two hours, and we were finally able to get the room cards at 6:15 p.m.

The receptionist was also very rude. Every time we tried to follow up on the promised 20 minutes, he asked us to wait again in the newly formed long line of guests checking in, instead of properly assisting us. Overall, it was a very frustrating and unprofessional check-in experience.

Beware, on property restaurants will automatically charge you 20% tip regardless of your party size or if you are doing takeout even though the menu says 20% automatic tip is only for parties of 6 or more. Then on top of the already charged 20% they will ask for additional tip.
There’s also a mandatory resort fee, and $55/night for parking

From the moment I checked in, the staff set the tone: friendly, respectful, and genuinely helpful. Even as a returning guest, I learned about amenities I hadn't fully taken advantage of before, and having those extra days gave me the chance to really enjoy everything the hotel has to offer.

Some standout perks worth highlighting:

Refill Water Stations: A small but mighty perk included in the daily resort fee. No need to constantly run out for bottled water.

In-N-Out Garage Privileges: I was driving a rental car to visit family and friends around San Diego, and not having to pay an in/out fee every time I left the garage was a huge convenience.

$15 Daily Food & Beverage Credit: I finally got to use this and tried Hudson, the restaurant inside the hotel. The menu options were impressive, the food was delicious, and the staff were attentive even during a very busy service. I loved being able to bill everything directly to my room — it made life so much easier.

Wi-Fi Included: As someone who needed to sneak in a little work even while trying to unplug, I appreciated having Wi-Fi in the room. I did experience some connection drops on two of the five days, but it resolved on its own each time. Minor issue overall.

Our check-in experience was disappointing. The front desk staff checked my ID and left it on the counter, which could have easily resulted in it being forgotten or misplaced. At the pool, the service was also lacking. A waitress passed by our group, and when I tried to get her attention, she said she would return but never did. Another waiter walked past us without asking if we needed assistance. In addition, the A/C in our room was not working properly. Overall, our experience at the Hilton was negative.

This was a very nice hotel, we really enjoyed the cleanliness, amenities and how convenient it was to Petco park (walking distance). I do wish they had a little more for kids to do (different activities) besides the pool so that my kids could do a little more while in the hotel. They also do not accept cash in the stores/restaurants which was also a little inconvenient as that is a preference for myself and my kids who don't have debit cards but want to use their own money to buy things. However, I would definitely recommend, it is a very nice place to stay and the staff were all professional and helpful especially with recommending places to visit and eat offsite. We would stay again.

I really liked that help was everywhere, including a text option which they checked in almost every everyday. I also found the location to be great, I am a runner, so the location of the hotel is awesome for all types of ocean (Bayside) running. It was also close to pretty much everything we wanted to do downtown. Room was great, view was amazing, breakfast was really good. I did find that sharing the parking garage with Padres stadium guests was slightly annoying, although we never had trouble parking (just sometimes on the 5th or 6th floor).

Peter hooked us up with a high up room with a stunning view of the Coronado Bridge and Petco Park/Downtown. The room was clean and cozy. We went to see the Padres play so the bridge over to the stadium that’s connected to the hotel was insane. 5 minute walk from our room to the gates. Would definitely stay at the Hilton Bayfront again.

I booked on Expedia after checking the Hilton website and seeing it was roughly the same price. I had a feeling I’d be facing a (ridiculous) $55 parking fee upon arrival which was what the Hilton website had listed. Upon checking in, on top of the parking fee, I was also hit with a $42.00 “Urban Destination Fee” and another six bucks in local taxes. But not to worry I got a 15 dollar food credit and two “refillable” water bottles! This was not mentioned when I booked on Expedia…. So much for the transparency in fees….

Our stay at Hilton San Diego Bayfront was excellent! We traveled from Arizona with our daughters. The hotel was very clean and the staff friendly. The hotel has beautiful bay views and close to Petco park and convention center. It is easy to get in and out of the hotel with valet parking. A Starbucks is close and the hotel has a mini market with cafeteria too. It has lots of space for meetings and parties but they dont interfere with the rooms. We really enjoyed our stay.

The good: location, room quality, amenities
The not-so-good: ‘bay view’ means overlooking the shipping docks. You do see water and bridge but it feels very industrial. Not a vacation feel.
The bad: prices for any food items. Breakfast and meals are crazy expensive ($10 latte!!!) and of average quality. 20% mandatory service for breakfast even if the staff completely ignores you. To-go food prices at 2x what you may expect, even in a high-class hotel.
