My stay at Hilton San Diego Bayfront had its ups and downs. The location next to the convention center was perfect, making it convenient for the event I was attending. However, I found the rooms to be smaller than expected and the service could definitely use some improvement (especially in the bar area). Overall, while there were some good aspects, the negative experiences made it hard to fully enjoy my stay.

I had a great week at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront for Comic Con. The check-in process was super easy, and Brogan at the front desk was amazing—truly top-notch customer service. The room had a nice view of the bay, though it felt a bit small. One downside was the expensive self-parking and the limited strength machines in the gym. Overall, a fantastic stay with some room for improvement.

I had an incredible stay at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront. The location is fantastic, situated near the Convention Center and the Gaslamp District, making it convenient for both business and leisure. The rooms are spacious, clean, and come with a stunning view of the bay and city. The only downside might be the need for a mini refrigerator, as the current setup isn't ideal for food storage. Overall, the service was exceptional, with staff like Tony Mills going above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience.

My recent stay at Hilton San Diego Bayfront had its ups and downs. I really enjoyed the spectacular view from my room on the 27th floor, and the flexible Diamond breakfast benefit was a nice touch. However, the service felt quite impersonal and the Urban Destination fee was a frustrating surprise. Overall, the experience was lacking in warmth and attention, making it feel more like a factory hotel than a welcoming getaway.
