The hotel is very nice, and staff are very nice, including in the restaurant. The only thing I didn't care for is the layout of the hotel is confusing and signage isn't so good. Also, there's a $35 parking fee.

Staff in the reception named “ Queen “ is a terrible employee of the Hotel. She didn’t even greeted us and not smiling with us. She even discouraged us, she makes us feel belittled by saying “ your booked room is only standard, there’s no view” we love Hilton hotels but no plan of staying again the one by San Diego Harbor Drive because of that staff. Sad experience totally ruined day!

Excellent location. Walking path along the harbor, very scenic. We didn't request a room with a harbor view, but I'm sure it would have been very picturesque. We only stayed 1 night before an early morning flight out. Shuttle was on time. Only issue, was that the parking by the lobby was limited to 15min. Fee to park a car overnight was $18. My daughter came to pick us up for dinner and parked her car in their gated parking lot for under an hour and we got charged $6. Not much, obviously, but didn't make any sense to charge us, especially since they told us it was okay to park in the gated area without charge as long as it wasn't overnight.

First room had a gas odor & air conditioning wasnt working. We had to pack everything up and move to another room, only to have the air conditioning. Take forever to cool off the room. It took forever almost 10 minutes for them. Water to get hot for the shower. Was not that clean. Would not recommend this hotel for the price paid. Disapointed :(

Staff in the restaurant was excellent! Food was very good. I had made the reservation via Expedia and added the name of my friend, who was also staying. My name was not on the reservation, even though it showed my credit card as the means of payment. They were not going to let me access the room until the General Manager got involved.
