I would say the property was average. Its nothing fancy. I have noticed with Hiltons, you need to pay for Everything! I was charged to park in the parking garage, that doesnt have direct access to the hotel, which can be scary for a woman walking at night. Not one single complimentary water or snack. You must purchase everything! You can also hear Everything, every couch, sneeze or whisper, so if your a light sleeper and have neighbors, good luck sleeping. Also, no complimentary breakfast. Breakfast buffet is $25 for dried eggs ans stale bacon. Again, Ive noticed this trend with Hiltons. You get more for my money at a Comfort Inn.

It’s apparent that they used all of the money on the lobby instead of the rooms. The carpets are old and stained. Housekeeping was daily and tidied but not with attention to detail (once the pillows were left undone on the bed, another time the washcloths weren’t removed). Our room was directly behind the elevators so we heard them going up and down all night long. Some of the front desk staff were nice and helpful, others not so much. Honestly this makes me second guess ever staying at a DoubleTree again.

Probably my biggest issue was the staffing at the front desk. It seemed like there were often guests waiting in line to check in, check out, or purchase something from the little market next to the front desk. I waited 15 minutes to buy 2 bottles of water on one day, and 10 minutes the next. They either need a different process or more staff. Facility is nice...didn't use the pool but it looked okay. Nice seating area out front (waiting for Lyfts/Ubers). It's convenient if you're visiting a student at SDSU, which is why we stayed here.

Very old and outdated Doubletree, the worst I've ever stayed in. Old uncomfortable mattresses, filthy parking garage with scary acting elevator and lacking good maintenance in the rooms. The first room that I stayed in (519) had at least a 2" open gap under the front door before I requested to be move. I see why the property has a 3.5 rating and I will never stay there again. It was far below what I consider to be Hilton and Doubletree standards. The staff however was friendly and accommodating!
