Overall the stay was fine. Staff was great. The property was clean. Just some disappointing things came up and could be
Pros:

Its proximity to Gas Lamp, Ballpark, etc without being in the middle of everything. I liked the location. The property itself was nice in general. But the room(s) seemed a little outdated for the price.

Cons:

Price although I did get a great deal through 3rd party vs if I had booked direct with Hilton. The food was so expensive for what it was. I was extremely disappointed with most of what I ordered. For room service, one of the items had a hair in it and I didn’t know until half way through my meal. Of course I didn’t finish. And another had a fruit fly. Yuck! I was too busy to complain but that is something I was going to bring up.

Good stay.
Pros:

Location is great

Cons:

Breakfast options were limited - we prepaid for breakfast and could only choose from half of the menu options. The restaurant staff was friendly but super slow with service.

Perfect
Pros:

We are staying at the Hilton San Diego Bay front hotel for the IUEC convention. I eat breakfast in the restaurant every morning and Jorge has been my waiter. He has been attentive knows exactly what I want makes and keeps my coffee cup filled. I have a lot of food allergies and they have been so great at accommodating for all of my food allergies.

I can’t express how fantastic this trip has been.
