I was disappointed with my room. Stay was 3 stars

The pictures looked so nice but once I got to my room it was not what I was expecting. The bathroom sink was re-caulk but it looked like it was done by a kid. It was not a smooth and clean job. There was caulking all over the sink which is totally unacceptable in my opinion. The body soap dispenser was broken for two days even though my room was cleaned, it never got changed. I was being left body soap bars to use instead. I had to complain and then I got it replaced. I should not have done that. Once the hotel services see something is broken, they should automatically replace it. The hair dryer was disgustingly dirty. Oily fingerprints and hard food residue all over. I had to complain and got a new one. The bathroom vanity tubing was replaced but the tubes that were used were bigger than the original so they had to cut a whole on the wooden shelf to make it fit. It looks really ghetto. My son lost his key card while swimming, so I told the front desk and they made me a new key and told me the old card was cancelled. I wondered how she had done that because we had 2 new cards but I chose to trust her since she does this for living. Well the key turns up and it worked. So the front desk clerk just didn’t care about it and lied to my face so she didn’t have to deal with it. Very disappointing. Cleaning staff and other working staff were so polite and nice. We love the welcome chocolate cookies as well. The pool and the fire were all nice but the pool does close too early.

Wouldn’t even stay here for free

Front desk was nice enough, but condition of hotel is awful. Should have been concerned when pulling up since then area was definitely prone to vagrants. The hotel lobby seems updated, however the rest of the hotel is old, dirty, and in no way nice. The room was atrocious, smelled, filthy carpet, dents in the walls. The baseboards were coming off and there was so much grime and dirt along them in the carpet I didn’t want to take my socks off. I always check the beds when I stay places, thankfully no bed bugs but there were multiple blood spots on the mattress cover. The bathroom smelled sour and was just as old and dilapidated. Broken tiles in shower, drill holes left from where they must’ve removed racks in it, vanity was chipped and worn. The best part of all of this was looking out our “balcony” and seeing beer bottles and underwear - which my 10 year old pointed out. Stay away from this hotel at all costs. We ended up leaving 2 hours after check in and paying for a different hotel. I’ve never done that in my life.

Normal hotel in the midst of San Diego. Rooms were clean and spacious, view was ok, amenities existed ... One thing to be aware of, Parking is 33$ / night and getting in and out of the parking lot is a nightmare. Hotel is located on a hill and driving up and down from the parking lot is a two lane path, shared with a front unloading / check in area. So ... if somebody stops to unload or go check in, that takes out one of the two lanes to get in and out of the place. While we were there both of the lanes were blocked and we could not leave the hotel until a few minutes later when the driver in the departing lane came back from the inside and left.

The parking situation in the structure was terrible. Entry and exits were to confined and hard to navigate. Also the elevator in the parking garage was horrendous. The few times we chose to use it, it wasn't working properly. The room itself was overdue for a deep cleaning, noticeable stains and just lack of cleanliness. I have been a Hilton honors member for quite some time and this by far was one of the worst experiences ive had at a location.

The only pro for this hotel was the friendliness of the staff. The cons of this hotel were enough to make me reconsider booking it for future trips. The garage was not what I was hoping in terms of accessibility. To go up a level I had to squeeze through a tight space to reach the other levels. The inside of our room was completely outdated with broken tiles, a shower head with almost no pressure, pealing wallpapers, and a mini fridge that did not cool with broken control buttons. Having stayed at other DoubleTrees, this one has been the worst. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a nicer hotel. This one is definitely not worth it.
