Don't waste your money on the suites. It's just a normal size room with a wall dividing the sleeping area from the sliding glass door and small balcony. Some furniture is in bad shape. The exercise room in way too small. We had to wait in line everyday to workout. The pool area is right by the freeway. Breakfast is... More

The pool area was great - loved the fire pit and heated pool. The cookies were delicious....but beware, they are 310 CALORIES EACH!!! I wish I would have read... More

This hotel is convieniant to the places I go while in SD I love the cookies which are always warm and usually arrive with marshmallows in tow for the fire pit. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Our room had a massive bed, was very clean and comfortable. Spa was bubbly, pool was nice free Internet was good. We... More

Stayed for business at the Doubletree San Diego - Hotel Circle and enjoyed my visit. The lobby is large and comfortable with sofas, TVs and complimentary morning Starbucks coffee. Just outside is the small pool and a firepit seating area. Cozy. Just off the lobby is a small fitness center, mini-mart and restaurant/bar. The staff was friendly and helpful. Check... More

I stayed here for a week while on business travel. I have mixed feelings. First, the negatives: 1. Temperature control in the room was rather poor. Even with the air turned to its lowest setting, it was warm. 2. The floor and my room smelled funny, and my colleagues from work on other floors shared this opinion. 3. The reception... More

Typical Hilton property - nice lobby, pool and parking structure. Room was spacious with 2 beds and a small sofa which converts into a bed. Bedding was nice and beds were comfortable. The sofa is in very poor state and should in no way be in a Hilton property. The arm was completely peeled away where people have obviously had... More

I also used the business center to print my airline boarding passes. Two items to note: this hotel does not have... More

I read the reviews and gambled-- I should have trusted the reviews. I am a Hilton Diamond member that means I spend about 40 stays at Hilton each year. Upon check in, I was not welcomed as a diamond member and did not receive a room upgrade. I was given passes for breakfast but based on reviews here, I wasn't... More
