Spacious room, comfortable bed but small bathroom. No fridge but coffee maker and hairdryer provided. Free paper on weekdays and free wifi. All rooms had water views. Staff were friendly and helpful. Complimentary airport shuttle but you need to call them on arrival if you want to be picked up. Good car parking. Is about 3miles to city centre and... More

We found this Hilton to be affordable and pleasant with excellent service and staff. We found the view of the sailboats to be relaxing and we could leave the door to our balcony open for typical wonderful, Southern California weather. The only odd thing was the ceiling in the area of the "hallway" between the bedroom and the bathroom had... More

I stayed here as I fly early out of San Diego. The hotel organized to pick me up from the Avis car rental. The restaurant in house was great, beautiful view of the marina. Great staff. At front desk they too were very helpful to look up information for me. Rooms are very modern, very clean and stylish facing the... More

We stayed here for two nights recently. Check-in was smooth and friendly, and my room was quite nice with a harbour view. The bathroom was small but clean and functional. I arrived at the airport and at the last moment I was able to arrange a free pickup by the hotel shuttle service. Great service. We used the hotel bar... More

When the reservations were made (one night only for a business trip), I had this Hilton confused with the Bayfront Hilton. Bayfront is relatively new, 30 stories, luxurious, right on the Bay but walking distance to Gaslamp District and lots of restaurants/bars. About 15-20 minutes from the airport. I thought I was staying there...until I realized the directions to Harbor... More

I arrived directly in San Diego on a late flight from San Francisco. Unfortunately, the Hilton doesn't run its free hotel shuttle after midnight, even though flights still arrive into the airport. That was an unfortunate first impression. After an $8 taxi ride, I was treated quickly and smoothly by the front desk staff. I was provided a 9th floor... More

Renovated property. Very close to airport. Great views! More of a business hotel than a resort. As a result I felt a bit nickel and dimed to death. Most of clientele appeared to be male military contractor types. A much smaller number of us were “tourists”. Hotel bathroom has been renovated with dark veneer wood surfaces, but these are easily...

This is your typical Hilton quality. I booked on expedia for 70/night and was very happy with the property. It is a 5 minute drive from downtown. If you are renting a car and want to save a few dollars on hotel this is a good place to stay. Its much cheaper than downtown and still very easy to get... More

Stayed here for business. I had a room on the 9th floor with the harbor view; the view was beautiful. The room itself was just typical Hilton though. The bathroom was small, shower water pressure was average to weak for a hotel. The staff was great; friendly, professional and helpful. One day I wanted to see Napa Valley, not realizing... More
