Never again

Ac didnt work in the first room and the elevator nois3 is incredibly loud. Moved to another room. Ac worked a little better, elevator noise still incredibly loud. The pool was heated to about 104 degrees the hot tub was around 80. The elevators went out for half the day. I had to carry an ice chest up 7 flights of stairs. They asked me about the problems and after i told them they said they didnt give refunds. I never asked for a refund. Just told them i would never stay there again.

Bad overall stay

Balcony had a view of parking garage. So no view . Asked to get 1 bed instead of 2 was rudely told no. And elevator in parking lot shakes jumps and falling apart. Not safe. Just overly prices for a Hilton hotel. Very disappointed

We have stayed at this hotel in the pasted and it wasn’t the same. The room was dirty, the floor had stains, holes and what looked like blood. There was marks on the walls. The beds were very stiff and most uncomfortable. Our next trip to San Diego I will be looking for a new place to stay.
Carpet stains but looked more like blood.
