Fairly uncomfortable to have a room outside a kids Barbie cafe….just looking out the window gave creep vibes. It was an awful room. I had to keep the curtains closed the entire time to be comfortable.

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.
