Comfortable

The rooms were clean and comfortable. There is ample parking. The front desk staff were courteous and friendly. Our stay came with a buffet breakfast. The staff work really hard to make guests feel at home but they are understaffed at the breakfast service.

The refrigerator didn’t work, so my allergy free food went bad. The people above my room and my daughter’s room were loud. It sounded like running, stomping, slamming doors. It even shook the tv several times. This started at 11pm and lasted for hours.

Well, I chose this place because it had a hot tub and I have a busted knee and I needed it after all that walking at the Safari Park. And the people who worked there told me where the hot tub was. Nobody mentioned it was empty with caution, tape around it.

This was a good hotel in Rancho Bernardo, in a good quiet location. Property was clean. Staff friendly. Basic services. Four o’clock check-in is a bit late, with 12 o’clock check out. A day’s reservation should be 24 hours. Not sure how US hotel industry is allowed to do this to its consumers. Aside from late check in time, nice hotel.

3 Star but great value!

Room next to main hallway was incredibly noisy and very hard to sleep! The pillows were the absolute worst. The mini fridge did not have the typical small freezer top to put small items. The coffee machine was broken. The room had a musty smell almost like someone had previously smoked in it. Pool was not heated either. Definitely the lowest quality Hilton I have ever stayed at.
