I enjoyed the fantastic location of the Hilton San Diego/Del Mar, just minutes from the beach and nearby attractions. The staff was incredibly friendly, making my stay more pleasant. However, I found the beds quite hard, which made it tough to get a good night's sleep. Overall, it was a decent stay but not without its quirks.

Rooms

6.0

My room was very clean, but the beds were harder than I prefer, making it hard to sleep well. I appreciated the comfort and decor, but I wished for a softer bed.

Service

7.0

The staff were really friendly and attentive, especially a woman who provided excellent room service. However, there were moments where I felt the front desk could have been more attentive to my needs.

Location

9.0

The location was perfect for my needs, right off the I-5 and close to the beach. Plus, the hotel offers shuttle services to nearby spots, which is a huge bonus.

Dining

7.0

I enjoyed the breakfast in the lounge and found the variety to be quite good. However, I'm not sure it offered the best value unless you're a Hilton Honors member.

Facilities

The heated saltwater pool was a highlight for my kids, who didn't want to leave. The fitness center was under construction during my stay, which was a bit disappointing.

6.2/10

I recently stayed at Hilton San Diego/Del Mar for a quick getaway to North County, and my experience was quite positive overall. The room was spacious and clean with a pleasant balcony view overlooking the pool, and I appreciated the friendly and accommodating staff. However, the air conditioning in the room did leave some room for improvement, and the noise from nearby guests occasionally disrupted my stay.

Rooms

8.0

My room was spacious with two double beds and a renovated design. The mini fridge and coffee maker were convenient touches, though morning temperatures outside made the room feel a bit warm despite the air conditioning. I noticed that rooms facing the pool are better for a quieter experience compared to those overlooking parking lots.

Service

9.0

The staff provided really good hospitality, always ready to assist with a smile. They were genuinely helpful in accommodating my requests, enhancing the overall experience. I was especially impressed when a staff member went above and beyond by bringing a cheese platter to my room.

Location

8.0

The hotel's location was really convenient; it's just off I-5 and close to plenty of restaurants and attractions, including Del Mar beach and the famous racetrack. It made exploring the area easy, and I loved that I could enjoy local dining experiences and outdoor activities.

Dining

6.0

While I enjoyed breakfast at the hotel, dining options were somewhat limited since the restaurant was closed for other meals. The breakfast offerings were decent, but I ended up relying on local eateries for lunch and dinner, which was a bit inconvenient.

Facilities

7.0

The heated outdoor pool was a highlight, especially in the cooler weather. The gardens surrounding the pool area were beautifully maintained, making it a pleasant place to relax. However, the absence of a hot tub was a disappointment during my visit.

7.4/10

I enjoyed my stay at Hilton San Diego/Del Mar, especially the spacious layout and attentive staff. The outdoor areas were lovely, with fire pits and a heated hot tub that added a nice touch. However, the hotel could definitely use some renovations, particularly in the bathrooms and general decor. Additionally, the parking fees were quite steep, and the location near the racetrack gave off a somewhat seedy vibe.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were impressively large and clean, but they really need some updating, especially the bathrooms. I appreciated the blackout curtains and comfortable bedding, which made for a cozy stay.

Service

8.0

The staff was really good throughout my visit, always friendly and eager to help. They really contributed to the welcoming atmosphere, although there was a minor hiccup with a breakfast voucher that needed to be resolved.

Location

7.0

The hotel is conveniently located near attractions like the beach and fairgrounds, making it easy to explore the area. However, the proximity to the racetrack did create a slightly seedy vibe, particularly near the freeway entrance.

Dining

7.0

Dining options were pretty good, and I enjoyed the breakfast buffet. However, I felt the offerings could have been a bit more varied for a Hilton hotel. The outdoor seating area added a nice ambiance.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were decent overall, with a nice pool area and hot tub. However, the gym felt a bit creepy due to the lack of windows, which detracted from my overall enjoyment.

I recently stayed at Hilton San Diego/Del Mar and found it to be a solid choice overall. The room was spacious and overlooked the heated pool, which was a nice feature, especially during the cool evening. However, I did experience some service hiccups, particularly regarding basic amenities like soap and towels, which detracted from the experience.

Rooms

8.0

I enjoyed a spacious room with two queen beds and a balcony overlooking the pool. The room felt recently renovated and had essential amenities like a mini fridge and coffee maker, but could have used more towels and soap for my three-night stay.

Service

6.0

The staff were friendly, and I appreciated their effort, but I found the lack of maid service and basic supplies disappointing. There were delays in receiving some essentials, which made my stay less convenient.

Location

7.0

The hotel's location is convenient for accessing I-5 and nearby attractions like the Del Mar beach and fairgrounds, but it can feel isolated due to its surroundings and parking lot. It’s a short drive to various restaurants and shops, but not all are within walking distance.

Dining

6.0

I only had breakfast on-site, which was decent, but I didn’t try the full restaurant offerings. I did hear mixed reviews regarding the dining experience, which seemed a bit overpriced.

Facilities

7.0

The outdoor pool area was a lovely spot, with gardens and seating. I appreciated the heating feature of the pool, making it comfortable despite the cooler air. However, I found the parking fees to be quite high, which was an unwelcome surprise.
