Popular San Diego 4-star Hotels

Very old hotel with dated rooms. The rooms are not good. I had to shift three times, and the front office staff handled the passport carelessly. Won't stay in this property again as I was not impressed with the room quality. Housekeeping is only available every three days—no staff to help to shift the luggage from room to room when I was moved. I booked a bay view room with a balcony, but they provided the first room, which has smelly rooms and no working aircon. Moved to another room without a bay view and, after a night, moved to another room on the eighth floor with a semi-bay view and balcony. Honestly was not impressed with the experience. No free water in the room. Wifi was not the fast.

A pretty large resort, but with personal attention by the staff. Ground were well appointed. The rooms were very well appointed, beds comfortable, people serving us were pleasant. Would never hesitate to recommend the place. Can't wait to go back. My only complaints as follows - the one bartender at the Tequila Bar definitely wasn't into serving people with a smile. I asked him what beer he had available and he said ”some domestics and some imports”, turned and walked away. That was a turnoff. The other people who served us over the 3 nights were all fine, but not him. Also, we were on the 15th floor, yet surprisingly we could hear conversations down in the pool area, and especially the music playing. I found that as being a little odd. That is the only reason for dropping it down from 5 stars.

There is only one restaurant in the hotel, which serves an American à la carte breakfast. The hotel location is good, in the middle of the gas lamp area, there are many restaurants around, suitable for food. 3 minutes walk to the tram stop. Hotel facilities are not new, but in the United States hotels are pretty good, the old five-star standard in China. The service was great.

It was our 30 year anniversary . We wanted to walk down memory lane . Doubletree Hilton was the perfect place to do so . The trolley is like 100 ft from the hotel , wow !!!! We were there for 4 days and we only spent $12 dollars on transportation the whole time . We went to the seaport village , old San Diego village , San Diego zoo , little Italy , the can even take you near to the gondola rides . This hotel is pet , kid , business , couple friendly . Restaurants , FedEx , food stores , right outside . Indoor outdoor pool , gym , jacuzzi , Starbucks . Isabella is an awesome receptionist !!! Knowledgeable , friendly . This hotel is carefully paced to give you the best indulgence of the area . Great job guys !!!!

We stayed here for a conference, but much preferred the hotel we stayed at the previous three nights that was less than half the price. This place was too superficially trendy and lacking in basic amenities. The shower faucet was broken and you had to twist it around at random to try to find warm water. The room thermostat was outdated and the A/C wasn't working. We realized it was actually heating the room (stuck at 89 degrees!) and we couldn't turn down the temp, so we shut it off entirely and left the balcony door ajar. Thankfully it was a cool evening, but there were loud people in the courtyard playing music until midnight. We tried to call guest services about the issues, but no one answered. There are sayings posted in the lobby and on the room keys (supposed to be clever or cutesy), but some were borderline offensive like ”Do twins ever realize one of them was unplanned?” Pool was nice, but other things weren't included - had to pay for parking ($25/night) and for breakfast, which we decided not to try at the hotel.

I was here for a destination wedding. From arrival to departure, the experience was great. The grounds are so beautiful. Every meal I had on property was wonderful. Thank you for providing golf cart service to get around. Most everything was very walkable, but having those available was a nice touch. Loved being able to have a bonfire on the beach! Just a great overall experience.

The hotel is in a very good location, close to the promenade and the old town. Comfortable bath and room. Good swimming pool. At the entrance they gave a voucher for kayaking or biking for an hour. Also vouchers for two bottles of water. The situation that happened to us, the room was with the smell of dampness, that it was impossible to breathe, after a complaint it was quickly changed to us.

We stayed here for 3 nights and really liked the location. Most things were walkable and the trolley was a couple of minutes walk away too. We did have a car and used the Columbia Garage across the road from the hotel which was about half the price of the hotel valet. The room was clean, a little worn in places but everything worked. It was a bit of an odd shape so that made it feel a bit smaller than it probably was. Full housekeeping was on request, but they did towels and trash every day which suited us. The big downside for me is the resort charge, if it's not optional then just include it in the room rate.

Even though I gave them a score of 4, if the is an overall rating I would give a 3. They messed up my reservation. I booked a king bed with bay view but instead they put me in a room with 2 double beds and the view was the back of a tennis/pickle ball court. Room was on first level of Lanai tower near end of the hallway close to stairs so high foot traffic so noise come from everywhere, footsteps from second level, hallway, and from outside balcony.☹️ Not worth the room price per night

We truly enjoyed our stay. We can’t wait to go back! The hotel was beautiful and very clean. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. The beach couldn’t be any closer and the privacy here was just amazing.
