I had such a great weekend here. It felt like I was on a tropical getaway. I arrived on Friday afternoon and was greeted with smiles and a warm welcoming. The bellman took me to my room and pointed out all the features of the hotel. They gave some nice discounts for the restaurant and spa. The food was pretty... More

Having read mixed reviews I am pleased we decided to stick to our plans to stay here. The resort is large, but the open space is great for kids. Our girls aged four and six loved the gardens, pool and beach areas. We were upgraded to a studio suite by Amanda, and received complimentary milk and cookies which was lovely.... More

We stayed in the room with walk-out access to the beach. Beautiful view at reasonable price. The staff at this hotel was just awesome. Everyone from valet, gift shop to restaurant, and especially the team @ front desk (Alex, Ayssa and Erica) were so nice, courteous and knowledgeable. They really make our stay a memorable one. Thank you!

Great room with Garden and Bay view. Very comfortable beds! Beautiful, tropical grounds, comfortable lobby. Great Bay view from restaurants. Best food at a pool that I have been to. Reasonably priced. Two pools, one adult and one kid. Used both-very clean and comfortable. Lucked out in that the weather was perfect the entire weekend. Brought our bikes and went... More

Just because I gave this location three stars does not mean I didn't enjoy my stay. I definitely did. However, all the added fees can definitely spoil the trip. More or less, tack on an additional $54 to whatever the room rate is that you find per night. The hotel is able to offer low rates because they more than... More

We stayed at this hotel end of April, beginning of May. I chose it mainly because it was on the beach. We thought the hotel was lovely, really big room and beds so comfortable. The staff were friendly and the setting of the bar etc. with the fire pits, really nice. The downside is the location. The hotel is not... More

We loved our stay at this property - the room was big, clean, comfy bed, the lobby and outdoor furniture, pool, etc. are beautiful. Very helpful & friendly staff. The view over Mission Bay was beautiful. The only thing that left a bitter taste was the $33/day parking fee. I knew I was going to be charged when I made... More

Although this Hilton is placed in a beautiful setting the hotel itself was old and tired looking. When I arrived in my room it seems that the housekeeping team left in a hurry as there were dirty towel on the lamps and the bathroom was dirty.

The hotel staff was very nice. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Meeting rooms for the conferences were close by. Hallway noise could be heard inside the rooms easily. Food was below average and costs of beverages at the bar were pricey.
