My stay was really comfortable, the check-in process was really easy. The service there was great and the hotel was maintained and clean. Its a close driving distance to One Paseo and a lot of restaurants and the beach. They're also kid-friendly and the restaurant had good food. Thank you!

Honestly very disappointed with our stay. Our room smelled like urine and it got worse and worse over time. I asked to change rooms and they said that no rooms were available… Room was dirty (comparing it to other hiltons I’ve stayed at). Overall it was ok for staying at the location but I expected better from staying at a Hilton… would’ve rather stayed at an Airbnb.. or another location for my boyfriends birthday.

Unfortunately the AC was broken in a few units for both nights we stayed. That really did interrupt our sleep, and the poor technician was running around to all of these rooms trying to fix.
I asked for a tea bag from the front desk (they only leave one in your room on night 1) and I was charged for that; which I found to be crazy considering the cost to stay there. No coffee out for guests in the AM (most hotels offer it complimentary )
The hotel itself was nice and clean. Beautiful rooms and pool. Good location!

Nice location. Second time I’ve stayed here. Very convenient for the little concert menu right by the hotel also. Big hotel make sure you figure out the best place to park to gain access in and out of your room otherwise you’re gonna be going for a long walks in hallways that are unnecessary. The rooms are fine nothing special but they have everything you need.

The staff were great upon check in however both nights we could hear people walking in the room above us late into the night and we found toenail clippings on the carpet next to the bed from the previous guest. The breakfast was delicious and the waitstaff excellent. They need to put some sound proofing into the building you can hear the neighbors bathroom fan and they allow dogs and some dogs in the room down the hall barked a lot.

We were rushed during breakfast. 1 piece of bacon left.
Poor signs throughout hotel to find our room.
Worst of all. We were parked in handicap and their was a tractor parked right up against our vehicle making it impossible to access the passenger side of the vehicle.
Needs major cleaning. Door tracks and sliding door was filthy. Burn hole in patio chair.
I am completely shocked this is a Hilton!
Door to patio hardly opens.

Positives: proximity to Del Mar fairgrounds, staff was courteous and bed was comfortable. Negatives: When I was told my room location, I was to go down the hall around the corner, which I did. Couldn’t find said room so I asked another employee and got the same response. Turns out my room was down the hall, around the corner, through doors leading to the outside and back inside from another set of doors. Would have been great to have that clarity. The room smelled of mildew, the bathroom sink didn’t drain at all and the patio door was unlocked upon arrival which was really surprising and some strange loud buzzing happening outside my room for 10 minutes later in the evening. Add these things to the $35 parking fee and I’m not sure I’d stay there again. If I’m spending a decent amount of money for a hotel stay, these are things I would expect to have to deal with.

The amenities are nice, the front desk staff could take a note from the bar staff in the friendly department- but they're not working for tips. I was a bit floored by the additional fees after booking. Be prepared to pay an additional $50+ per night ON TOP of the portion you already pay for the stay. That was not a fun surprise. Overall, the property is beautiful, but the rooms seem 'thin,' and you can hear your noisy neighbors quite well.

The staff was very nice here. I only had two issues, one being $35 to self-park (vs. $40 for valet), and the other was the strong bleach smell in the first room we were given. After about 15 minutes, my wife and I noticed our eyes were burning so I requested a room change, which was accommodated quickly.

Beyond that, property was clean and amenities were good. Friends who stayed there told me they paid $30 per breakfast which is pretty steep.

Front desk staff are great and let me check in early which I appreciated desply after traveling for close to 18 hours. Room was very nice and bed extremely comfortable (on the soft side which I love but know some people prefer firm) the only things I noticed that could have been improved were some staining on the duvet and curtains, and the shower fixtures desperately need an update. The taquitos were also over cooked and flavorless but all the rest of the food was great.

The ordor on hallway was foul. Lumpy mattress in extremly small room, ADA shower was horrible, shower curtain too short, flooded bathroom floor. Wanted to charge for a view room of a tree. Parking fee excessive for self park $35.00, while valet was $40. Found that to be ridiculous. Would not stay again or recommend.

I gave 4 stars as ran out of toilet paper on last day, super odd not an extra roll. Was surprised at $35 parking fee, that is ridiculous for people staying there. My fault for not reading the fine print booking through Expedia. No shuttle to Del Mar 2nd day we went, which was irritating to wait 25 minutes for nothing. Ended up taking uber there and walked back.

Wanted a 10… giving a 6

Before I checked in, I thought I was gonna give them like 10 stars. Let me say the staff was very friendly. 100 percent to them. I paid around 500 for 1 night .. there was like severe corrosion on the mirror (see pic ) they were making beds in the hall (twice that I saw) weird . If you are in a room at the back be prepared for a hike .. no elevators just the emergency stairs..And sadly when I booked the picture showed a balcony .. we did not have one ( my favorite part of a room). all though I did book thru hotels.com so maybe Hilton’s fault ..but maybe hotels.com needs to change their pics. Sooo unfortunately not sure I world stay again.

First off our room was dirty windows very bad black crap between the windows and on the window seals . Our bathroom had drips of something all down the front of the sinks, pictures in the room had marks on them where stuff was spilled down the front of them. Bath tub stopper broke they did replace that. The room was run down old. The spa was old and needed to be re plastered real bad. No air on in the hallways smelled musty and hot. The stairs leading out to the parking lot where filthy dirty. Beds where Lumpy. Our air conditioning broke they did come and fix it seems like they only keep the lobby and restaurants clean. The menu had only 6 choices on it nothing I would eat. Old coffee maker in The room not k cup like people use now a days. No microwave . We stayed two nights because we went to he horse races good location and free shuttle to the races and back. We won’t be returning not at the price we paid. I went to the front desk showed them pictures of my room that was not clean they said they will have someone deep clean the room. Maid tried to clean it but couldn’t get it clean at least she tried. The place like the guy said at the front desk it’s 40 years old. Think they need to go in and re do the rooms for the price 2 nights came to $900.00. I expected better. The valet was great nice people and quick. People at the front desk were very nice also.
