I was very pleased with my stay at the Hilton Gaslamp. I haven't stayed at many Hiltons so I cannot comment on "typical vs non typical Hilton". The reception was very helpful and pleasent, the restaurant was quick and courtious. Location is great, very close to the Gaslamp with many many restaurants. very close to Padre stadium so the energy... more

Maybe I'm used to HIltons in less urban areas, but this HIlton wasn't cookie-cutter, boring. It was very chic and trendy. I liked it The location was great for us. We were there for a convention. And our convention happened to be in the end of the center right across the street from the hotel. The anchor hotel for the... more

If you are looking for a typical Hilton property, this is it. The staff was helpful and pleasant (room service was extremely quick), rooms were comfortable and clean, and the location was perfect if you are going to the convention center. It is also right outside the gaslamp district, which is great when looking for a place to eat after... more

nice contemporary look- great artwork all over the hotel. Gym is fresh and new- free weights, new machines, roomy. Right across the street is the convention center and there are a great set of stadium steps people are doing their workouts on. as well as the waterfront parks on the otherside. Bedrooms were decent sized , the usual comfy hilton... more

After some careful searching, we decided to book our hotel through Hotwire, knowing there was a possibility of staying at the Hilton. What a mistake! We were ready to be gouged for parking ($32/day plus the obligatory tips). We were NOT ready for an indifferent (bordering on "rude") staff; notably the front desk personnel. Arriving in the mid-afternoon, there was... more

I LOVE to travel and had heard of hotels that will charge fees that will only be exposed when you get the bill. This is one of those hotels. I have never had this experience so when I booked the hotel I didn't think to ask but lesson learned. I was given a discount rate at $209.00 for one night.... more

I had a trade show to attend at the San Diego Convention Center. This was my first time there. I wanted a hotel close to the Center so I wouldn't have to worry about parking. This hotel is as close as you are going to get. The location to the Center is ideal. You are literally on one side of... more

Probably the worst thing was the freight trains at 2 AM. However, my stay was enjoyable. One thing I wish they had was a washer and dryer. The cost of dry cleaning was way too $$$$$. more

We stayed here the week between Christmas and New Year. The hotel is decorated in a modern minimalist style. The beds have soft bedding,and the room was spacious although the bathroom was slightly small. There was free internet access. We ate the breakfast buffet and it was quite adequate. Try the local restaurants in the Gaslamp area. This hotel is... more
