Hotels in Black's Beach, San Diego

Stayed for five nights for a business trip. I will admit, due to its proximity to the Torrey Pines Golf Course I expected the hotel to be fancier than it was. It wasn't fancy, but it was a very solid, nice hotel in a great location! When I say ”great location” I am referring to it being right on the golf course, which is right on the ocean! The grounds are beautiful and serene. Can't be beat! If you are looking for a location that is walkable to a lot of restaurants and things to do, this is not your place. I don't golf, so can't speak to that side of things. I do enjoy walks in nature, and to that end, the hotel's proximity to Torrey Pines State Park is amazing. It was less than a mile walk to the entrance to the park trails. I was there for work so wish I had more time to explore, but just the little bit I did was refreshing. The trails are well-marked, and the front desk will give you a printed map if you ask. One minor shoulder shrug came from the fitness center. It's quite small for the size of the hotel. Three treadmills, two of which were out of order, four ellipticals, and two bikes. There was a variety of free weights and one multi-machine as well. No water cooler. I was there for a conference that included a lot of active-duty military, so you can imagine that space was at a premium in the mornings. I would love to see an upgraded facility that takes advantage of the views! I didn't use the restaurant, but the lunch and cocktail hour the conference had catered was very good. There is a coffee shop in the lobby that brews Starbucks drinks and has a variety of pastries and bottled drinks, as well. My room was quite large and had everything I needed. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have slept in. Shower was large, water pressure good, and the bathroom was definitely larger than most hotel baths.

The hotel that sent the children to school is very close to UCSD. The hotel environment is very good. Many people are married. It seems that it is a good hotel in the local area. Unfortunately, accompanying children at school every day, I have not had time to visit the hotel to enjoy the SPA. When the hotel was departed, the hotel deducted the tax and returned to Ctrip to help back, thank you!

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.

We loved the location. Family of four with 2 kids ages 9 & 10 loved the different pools and husband and I enjoyed the fire pits by the pool. The rooms were modern and up to date. The beds were not comfortable and the lack of pillows made it hard to sleep for someone who is used to minimum of 2 pillows per person. The views were amazing and a lot of exploring to do around the resort.

The hotel is located in the city center, like an old-fashioned standard hotel. The lobby is very beautiful and may be in disrepair. The slight downside is that the rooms are not newly renovated, but the facilities are complete. There are many attractions and restaurants nearby.

I'm surprised to see the mix of reviews, this was one of the nicest Hilton Garden Inns I've ever stayed at! I did not have a car, so maybe the parking is tricky if you do have one, but I felt that the property was very clean and pretty, the front desk staff were super friendly and professional, and they gave the upgraded wifi which made my stay even more enjoyable (free wifi at Hiltons is notoriously spotty and slow, in my opinion). I did not get to try the restaurant because my stay was brief but I appreciated that it was there. I liked the hotel so much that I came to TripAdvisor to review it because my Hilton member survey had already expired. Whoever is running the show there right now is improving it I guess, because I would definitely stay here again!
