The ocean and the Coronado bridge was a beautiful view! Very clean and nice property. The beds were comfortable, any requests were attended to immediately. Great location also. You can walk right to the convention center and right across from the Gaslamp district! I would recommend

This is not a hotel, it is a conference center with hotel rooms and it feels that way through and through. Very nice, very pretty, very clean, very expensive, very loud, I've been more comfortable in every single La Quinta I have ever been in though in terms of overall hotel comfort. Shower was tepid at best. Rooms are kind of small if you have two people with full size luggage. Your room will look very cluttered for your stay. I won't be staying there again.

I had a lovely view, staff were attentive, but went I got to my room it was dirty, toilet seat was dinged up, bed mattress coming out from under the bed, paint on bathroom shower ceiling was pealing hair in shower etc. When I informed the staff of these issue they gave me 50$ credit, apologized and sent staff right up. Hotel staff called 10 minutes later, and offered me a new room, i declined due to having already unpacked, was tired from travel and dealing with a shoulder injure. I appreciated there quick action, but was disappointed in the original quality of cleaning.

AI guided me to Hilton Bayfront San Diego, I paid over $400 for a double queen bed room, but the room did not provide kettle, slippers, tooth paste, and bottle water, all of which are commonly available in hotels half the price.. We went to sleep late last night, but this morning at 6 am, the alarm set by previous customers went off and woke us up. In addition, we had to pay another $50 for parking...I called the front desk in advance and was told parking would be free. Overall, the experience did not match the price paid.

$50 parking fee excessive/unexpected and could be included in the base fee so that it does not give the impression of nickel and dime.

The staff failed to provide the benefits we were, apparently, entitled to until our last night there (events, discounts, etc.). They also didn't tell us that my card would be charged $100 per day while we were there. Then they tested the fire alarms at 5am on Thursday with no notice. That was all disappointing but the final straw was the cockroach (not waterbug) in our room and the complete lack of concern about it. Overall, not a great experience.

I recently stayed at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, and overall my experience was excellent. The hotel itself is beautiful, well maintained, and offers stunning views of the bay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the amenities were top notch, and the location is ideal, close to dining, attractions, and the waterfront.

The majority of the staff were friendly, professional, and attentive, which made our stay very enjoyable. However, I did have one minor negative experience at the front desk. After requesting extra towels and a blanket for the third time that day, one gentleman responded in a noticeably rude manner, stating that he had many rooms to manage and only one worker. While I understand that staff can be busy and under pressure, the tone and delivery felt unprofessional and unnecessary.

That said, this was an isolated incident and did not overshadow the overall quality of our stay. I would still highly recommend the Hilton San Diego Bayfront and would gladly stay here again, as the hotel and overall service truly reflect a high standard of hospitality

While most of the stay was fine. The last day killed any chance of a recommendation. The power flickered the last day. That is out of their control. However, the elevators were then down. There was no communication and I could not get ahold of anyone at the hotel for a status. I ended up bringing my suitcases down 18 floors, on the stairs, with a bad knee. Only to get down to the lobby and be told that the upper floor elevators, starting in floor 19, were working. It would have been much better, for my now sore knee, to go up one floor. This, or any communication, was fully lacking. Then the staff was quite rude when asking about it and why there was no communication. I would never stay again or recommend this hotel

When I called to let hotel know i was going to have a late check in (2 am) they said that my reservation had been cancelled by expedia, which they did not cancel I called and spoke to representative in which they didn't know how that could of happen so I called the hotel back and told them that it didn't get cancelled by them so we could not figure out how that happen. #2 problem I got locked out of my room on Thursday I wondered why my key wouldn't work at parking garage so I stopped by front desk after returning the front desk re-keyed my cards, got to the room keys did not work, I called the front desk and she asked what color was it blinking I told her and she said the batteries needed to be changed in the lock she sent maintenance to my room, maintenance looked at the lock and said that was not the problem that it was a front desk issue and that he would meet me at the front desk, I get to front desk and he never came (maybe he called the front desk not sure) but front desk said it wasn't their issue it's a maintenace issue he looked over my account and said O it's a billing issue but wasn't sure why and that the system locked me out of my room and he didn't know why and gave me new keys and had security let me in the room. #3 issue -called front desk due to TV not connecting, they sent maintenance to come look at it and he worked on it and added a new cord and still couldn't get it to work and said it was an I.T. issue and that we could either not use the TV or move roo

We love coming here for Christmas. The staff, location and amenities are always great. This time, there were a couple one-offs, which might be due to their hotel construction. There were entrances/exits that were closed, which is understandable, but there wasn’t any signage, which was super confusing. Also, parts of the snack area weren’t refrigerated but had cheese and other refrigerated items on the shelf.

Constant perks are the views of the bay (we get the Bay View corner room) and location to gaslamp, ferry to Coronado, and Seaport Village.

Staff could be more helpful and friendly, particularly at the Nash restaurant.
At Canary Market, the cash system prompts for a tip on every purchase, which felt a bit awkward—especially when buying something simple like a bottle of Coke and wanting to skip tipping.
When I booked through Expedia, I wasn’t aware of the resort fee or what it covered at the destination. That came as a surprise, and having clearer information upfront would have helped with planning.
Overall, I loved the room view. Cleanliness was solid (4/5). The coffee machines, however, could use a more thorough cleaning and maintenance.
I have some feedback on the flight part of my package that I hope I get a chance to relay.

No real breakfast options as far as I could find. Coffee (Starbucks) was difficult to find and because of construction had to go to parking garage then down to find it. Late night options were not great (after event) . Because the Hilton is away from the center, you would think the understaffed eatery would be busy, but, they were not. The checkin host could barely speak english, and was otherwise distracted our entire exchange. for the price you expect at least a moderate to high level. The place is aging and needs upgrades too. We have stayed there many times over the years because of location to Shell and Baseball, but, perhaps it is time to search wider..

The bathtub in our room was extremely stained and the area across from the market appeared to be under construction. Also, it was a busy weekend and the front desk was a bit slow getting people checked in. We also found out as we were purchasing bottle of water from the market, that we were supposed to be provided “tokens” for complimentary waters upon check-in but we were not, so ended up spending an additional $30-ish for 4 waters. Other than that, everything was great. Our room was otherwise clean, the drinks and cheeseboard at the bar were delicious, valet was fast, and the staff were helpful and friendly. The on-site Starbucks and market were convenient and we appreciated being walking distance from restaurants, Petco Park, the convention center.
