The room did not have adequate toilet paper or wash cloths. Called customer service & was told items would be sent, but items were never delivered to my room. Ended up going to front desk the next morning because I reserved two days. Was given one roll of toilet paper & two wash cloths.

The hotel hallways and room smelled moldy or mildewy. The first room we checked into smelled awful so we asked to be moved. The second room on the 4th floor was slightly better but still smelled. We won’t stay here again as we have mold and mildew allergies.

Nice, but could be better

Its a nice property, but they charge for things a hotel in this class often provides free. No free breakfast and no free parking. Granted, its San Diego. VERY friendly lady at the front desk check during check in made us feel welcome right away. The AC in the fitness center was out or wasn't on so it was very uncomfortable.

Hotel not up to a Hilton Standard

Always try to stay at a Hilton but this one is old and smells of mold. The front desk sent someone to room to purify the air said it wold take 1 hr, so we stayed at the bar/restaurant for 3 hrs, go to our room and it was filled with white powder, burned my throat, had to request room change, beds are old, tub had hair from previous tenant. Food was good though. Wouldn't stay there again. The price for the room doesn't match the quality of the room. This Hilton needs a refresh. Badly. Two other families experienced the same mold smell in their rooms.
