Love this. I highly recommend it if you’re wanting to visit San Diego. It’s at a perfect location. Walking distance to many attractions and shopping. I would definitely stay here again. I had no problem with being charged but you should know that valet parking $65 and a $25 daily charge will be added at your stay at check in. I did realized that would happen cause I didn’t read the fine print. But I didn’t mind it. Valet was great and we did use our room service.

Our stay started great with Madison at the front desk. She made us feel welcome. Later she surprised us with some small pastry treats in the room for our anniversary. The people at the lobby promoting Hilton honors were annoying and pesky. We had several approach us over our stay that would not leave us to our getaway. We loved the location of the hotel in this interesting city but the $25 add on each day led us to focusing how to spend in the hotel when we had other plans. T shirts, shorts etc bought at the hotel store with exaggerated pricing made us feel almost victimized. I would rather you just increase your rates and not play games with the fee. End of the day the chorus of the Mennonite conference one evening in the atrium lifted our spirits. Wonderful

the manditorory 25$ charge each day was totally ridiculous to make us buy items at the gift shop was not good this was not brought up in items when I booked I would not stay at this hotel again if I knew this was a charge It would have been nice if they would have had a container of water in lobby They need to have the front desk more informed on bus costs and where to pick the bus up I asked the people there and they had no idea how much bus fare wAS or how far down the street it was to catch These are people dealing with tourists they need to be more on top of these things

Good hotel but there is a lot of hidden fees that were not mentioned. Parking fees for every night, mandatory $25 of spending per day, delivery for room service fee which does not include tipping or tax, and random fees of tourism marketing dest assistance (no clue what it is), state of California assessment.
