Hotel was nice, good location. Overall we enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, but not helpful. There was complimentary breakfast...but only for hilton rewards members...which I understand. However the staff couldn't explain how those of us, who are not Hilton rewards members, could get breakfast. There is a Barbie restaurant attached to the hotel where breakfast could be purchased, but the staff didnt explain this. For two days we were given the impression we could get complimentary breakfast, but actually we had to leave the hotel, go to Barbie restaurant and pay. I am fine with paying, but the staff could have been better at explaining where the breakfast was, and it was not complimentary.

I picked this hotel because of the pictures of the pool which showed this really nice and big pool. I was so excited thinking I would spend a lot of time by the pool. I was so disappointed when we came to swim. The pool was so tiny and it wasn’t even deep enough only by the waist line. So many kids and no way to swim. The jacuzzi was disgusting too, it was running with a foam and you could see dirt on top of the foam. Ugh.. But the rooms were good, comfy beds and sheets are not too hot. No bar or restaurant at the hotel. But the lobby was nice we could bring food and drinks and relax at the patio next to the check in desk. The location was great too for walking, parking is terrible in that area. The hotel offers valet for $70. But no self parking.

I enjoyed that the hotel was in downtown San Diego so it was walkable and near everything. Downside was that the hotel had only valet parking. They did not allow you to park in the parking so you have to find parking around which may be a bit inconvenient and time consuming. The rooms are small and not very clean even with a chair having holes. The only great thing was the staff were all well proffessional, friendly, and helpful.

I picked this hotel specifically for the pool as my son loves to go swimming and we enjoy the hot tub. However, once we sat down in the hot tub the Saturday evening we were there, we were horrified to see that we were sitting in black murky water. It was so dirty that I'm worried we caught something. The pool itself was also extremely dirty. Regarding staff, they were rude 2/3 of the time. The girl checking me in did not tell me anything about the property, where my room was or anything. Waiting for the valet the first day I was there was a very long experience. As I had to be somewhere at a certain time, when I asked "Isaac" the valet attendant at the desk, he rudely told me they had a lot of people, then quickly went back to flirting with what looked like one of the waitresses from the barbie pop up next door (so there wasn't even a hotel restaurant). On top of that, it was never disclosed upon booking that valet was REQUIRED and $60/day. So they basically take a $60/night deposit so they can keep it. Otherwise, the hotel room itself was clean and had a nice view, with comfortable beds. So that was a plus.
