Great :)
Pros:

Location was a great. You are close to multiple types of transportation and food. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool was nice and private. I rarely saw tons of people at the pool, I had it to myself most of the time. Free breakfast is rare in the area, so it was a nice thing to not have to think about.

Fine for An Overnight
Pros:

Great location right by the local transit station. We were able to take it to the Padres game which was the main reason for our stay. Bed was comfortable, but pillows were too soft for me. Slept well overall. Breakfast buffet was minimal, but food was hot and plenty of coffee to be had. Lots of on-site self-parking, rates were reasonable.

Cons:

Quite expensive for really basic amenities. Minimal staff, tried to call the front desk more than once and got no answer. Shower was a bit slippery so we asked for a shower mat and never got it, they instead gave us a towel we just threw on shower floor.

Old building but convenient
Pros:

The staff were helpful. Its a great location near the bay and downtown. I'd give much higher rating if it weren't for the cost compared to other places of higher quality

Cons:

The building is old. The elevators are slow or randomly do not work. You have to guess what floor the pool is on. Too expensive for that value

Un buen lugar para pocos días en San Diego
Pros:

La atención fue muy buena, todas las personas que me atendieron en el hotel siempre estuvieron muy dispuestos a colaborarme en todo lo que necesitara. Nuevamente lo mencionó las personas son muy amables.

Cons:

No me gustó que me cobraron USD40 dólares por el uso del parqueadero, además que los parqueaderos son extremadamente estrechos, el desayuno es regular todos los días ofrecen el mismo menú, deberían mejorar la oferta del menú y también el espacio dispuesto es muy estrecho el lugar para desayunar, se copa con muy poca gente pero en términos generales el hotel es recomendado.

Comfortable
Pros:

Location was great as it was close to the marina and also easy access to several attractions. Has all the basic facilities including a decent breakfast offering. The staff were helpful and the hotel does provide parking for those arriving with personal transport.
The room was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

The property seems bit old so could do with a bit of refurbishing given it’s part of Hilton.
