We have stayed at this hotel in the pasted and it wasn’t the same. The room was dirty, the floor had stains, holes and what looked like blood. There was marks on the walls. The beds were very stiff and most uncomfortable. Our next trip to San Diego I will be looking for a new place to stay.
Carpet stains but looked more like blood.

I wanted to give a special shoutout to Catarsha at the front desk of the DoubleTree. From the moment we arrived, Catarsha made us feel welcomed with outstanding customer service, a warm smile, and a great sense of humor. Their friendliness and positive energy truly stood out and made our stay even more memorable. It’s not every day you come across someone who makes such a lasting impression—thank you, Catarsha, for going above and beyond!

Came here as a family of 4. Ill start off by saying the parking lot is terribly made! Very tight. And the parking lot elevator, slow, squeezy, you hear cracking as it moves. I think the elevator is older than my grandma! Check in was super easy and fast. Now the rooms, disgusting, super runned down, carpet it torn everywhere, damaged walls, the bathtub was rusty. I felt nasty staying there. Never again. Not family friendly at all.
