The San Diego Harbor Island Hilton is very good, albeit a little dated, and is in a lovely location on the harbor inlet. The rooms and staff are excellent and a stay there is very good value for money. There is also a very helpful shuttle to and from the airport. The only shortfall is the restaurant and its menu. Both could do with freshening up - and more people eating there. US tipping levels are ridiculous and out of date.

Overnight stay at Hilton in San Diego

It was good. The staff was responsive to my wife as she was not satisfied with our 2nd floor room. We were not satisfied with the HVAC system as our room did not get adequately heated.
