DoubleTree by Hilton San Diego - Hotel Circle, San Diego

The first room we were given had a maintenance worker out on the balcony painting. Yes, they need to do maintenance, so I called down and the bell boy brought up a new set of keys for a different room. TV reception was lousy and analog. I am guessing this was a handicap room as there was not bath, but rails, etc. to accomadate a wheelchair person. We were okay with that. Now to get really picky. There was a two cup coffee maker. Literally, two paper cups, no caraffe. Only one side worked however. Lighting not great when only one of the light bulbs in dual bulbed lamp was working. Oh yes, and then step out onto the balcony and close the door behind you. Try to get back in when the exterior handle falls off in your hand. Good thing one of us stayed inside. Then last but not least the nickle and dime prices. Their "store" had very little to offer and was way overpriced. Two small candy bars and two ice cream novelties $15.00. Their should never, ever be a charge for parking at a hotel. Let alone an over-priced one. $16 a night. Outrageous. I will never stay at this hotel again and recommend others don't either. The only thing good was the big fluffy towels and the very friendly staff who had no idea why TV was only showing analog.

Original room booked was not available 30 minutes after check in time. We upgraded to a double room at additional cost and was given a room right over the freeway and next to roof air conditioning compressors. No way to sleep. People walked in to our room after management assigned the same room to another party. Room had hint of cigarettes even though it was stated as non-smoking. We will never return to this hotel again.

This hotel will nickel and dime you to death! On top of the 150.00 dollar per night, you will have to pay extra for parking(15 a day), internet(10 a day), and breakfast(8.00 for a child 12.9... for adult per day). The rooms are not very clean (hair still in bathroom; GROSS!) and the service is below par. I will never stay in another doubletree! Don't do it! There is a hotel right next door with much better rates, free breakfast, parking, and internet. We won't do it again and our advice to you is... DON'T DO IT you will regret it! Oh, and don't do the pizza; it taste like cardboard!

I got my room for a deal, so it was a great value for me. Beds were very comfortable, large rooms, beautiful private balcony, and nice TVs. They were doing renovation during our stay (at 7am), but when I complained about being woken up, they gave us a discount! Staff was very friendly- always gave us more delicious cookies! Definitely need a car to stay here.

Staff was nice and helpful. The newly renovated suite was very nice and comfortable. The hotel has an older feel but with loads of updated style. Great pool and spa area. The parking garage is small and not comfortable for large cars. The down side to this hotel is paying $10.00 per day for internet and $14.00 per day for parking. During my stay there was only one elevator operating and the wait was long.

We had a great room that was clean and the beds are amazing. We was in town for vacation and did Sea World and The Zoo from this hotel and it worked great. We had six in our party Me my girlfriend and our 4 kids and the suite with the bunkbeds worked out great. Staff was friendly and helpful and seriosly DON'T forget the cookies they give you at check in... they are amazing! I think I ended up stealing my sons cookie when he wasn't looking, because they are worth stealing! We visited the pool a couple of nights and sat poolside around the fire pit and watch the kids play, which was a great relaxing night for after running the parks. The elevator was kinda wierd during our stay but overall the hotel was great. It looked like they are in the process of renovating the 4 and 5 floors and the elevator seemed to stop there every time on the way up to the 7th floor but nobody ever got on. Overall Great great stay and vacation...

The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. The free chocolate chip cookies were the best. I will probably stay here again, it is right in the middle of all the tourist sites.

The hotel is one of the "nicer" ones in the area. Location is great, very close to San Diego Down Town, Seaport Village, Sea World... Our room was nice and clean with private balcony with few minuses (TV remote not working well, light bulb was out, sliding door could not lock). Service staff was nice, front desk staff need some work (not too professional). Overall, it was decent.

I have stayed in a lot of hotels over a 16 year period. This is without a doubt the best hotel i have ever stayed at. The Service was great, the food was excellent, and the room was exceptional. All of my future stays in San Diego will be at this hotel provided they will have me.

I love when I get GREAT treatment at a hotel. The thing that most impressed me was that there were LOTS of pillows. LOTS AND LOTS of pillows. They were all fluffy and soft and the bed felt like heaven. I hadn't slept that good in YEARS. Awesome facility. Walking distance from the San Diego Trolley, Joes Crab Shack, AppleBees and 2 malls. Great Experience.
