It was a bit inconvenient to come and have only 1 operating elevator. The parking was $25, not $22 in which the email message said, which turned out fine as the hotel did honor the $22, but I could definitely feel the sass after leaving. My companion even saw her give a snared looked. Customer is always right, especially when the proof is in my hand and was sent to me twice. Too expensive though. Your not that luxurious of a hotel to be charging so much for parking, rooms in general. One of the rooms door was stupid hard to open in 243 and wouldn't shut by itself. Overall it was a good stay, the updates were nice. Just saying the elevator that was actually working didn't sound too great.

Please Read Before Booking!
Our stay was less than pleasant. I think everything that could go wrong went wrong: 1) Only 1 elevator working. Long lines, congested elevator, and stopping on every floor up and down. 2) broken jacuzzi because of improper water chemical levels. 3) broken A/C in the room. Engineering could not fix it and there were no other rooms to be moved into. 4) Loud neighbors bc of thin walls. We had to call the front desk numerous times. We left our stay one day early. We could not take it anymore.

If you don’t look closely it’s not bad. But getting close to things in the room was horrific. The couch had rips in it where you could see the stuffing. The shower leaked even when fully shut off. The toilet ran, there was mold around the faucets in the shower, and a big suspicious stain in the corner I can only assume is from a pet mishap. Also their elevator system was ridiculous. One elevator has been out for months, and the other is barely functioning.

I was disappointed with this hotel for a number of reasons. First, and check in, I had to wait for about 15 minutes while the check-in clerk checked a proceeding party in. There was another check-in clerk in the back room who made no effort to accommodate both myself and one other party behind me. Second, the walls are paper thin. The family in the room next to me had two young children and boy, did I know it! Third, parking was charged at $25 per night when it should’ve been free especially to Hilton honors members. What’s the point of membership! Fourth, Wi-Fi was horrible and did not work.

One elevator , other one was broken. Took minimum 5 minutes each time to wait for it and by that time there was usually a crowd waiting for it. Shower does not work properly, can’t shut off bath spout while shower head is running. I’m aware of how it works it was faulty. The room door did not shut all the way due to it being off hinge slightly. And a hideaway door for the bathroom when it was almost impossible to shut , with no lock. I don’t ever write reviews but this was pretty bad.

Me and my wife came to bring my autistic son for his birthday. Our stay is from July 28-30. The customer service has been bad since checking in. I was in line to check in when 2 random guests just cut in front of me and were helped by the front desk worker, I let him know and he still took them. That was check in on the 28th. On my son’s actual birthday we were in and out of the hotel. We take him for breakfast the elevator is broken, so we have to take the stairs, we’re told by the manager that someone is on their way to fix it immediately. 2 hours later we take him to the beach and when we come back conveniently enough the elevator is still down and have to take the stairs again. I ask the manager again if they’re going to have this fixed and she tells me the same thing. we go back to the room and come down for dinner a couple of hours later and guess what? The elevator is still down. Mind you I pay extra for a pool view and they put me on the 4th floor, I say this because my son who were supposed to be celebrating has sensory issues and bad balance so he’s not a fan of stairs and loud noises. Which brings me to my next issue, this morning on the 30th were woken up to a loud fire alarm at 8 AM, so what do we do, we take the stairs down only to find out the person working on the elevator pulled something electrical which made the alarm go off. I’m going to be honest, I love San Diego, even Del Mar as a city is beautiful but I would never stay at this location again.
