Location is amazing, dinner, bars, pet co park, all within an 3 minute walk. Amazing for the price! Staff is very friendly and even checked us in 2 hours early. Rooms were a bit smaller than what I expected but nothing to complain about. Would recommend and come back anytime.

Hilton San Diego Mission Valley
After initially giving me a room that had not yet been cleaned, the second room was perfectly nice. Front desk staff was super friendly and helpful. Decent location, especially if you have a room facing away from the highway.
