What guests think

At Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter, travelers consistently praise the central, walkable location near the Convention Center, Petco Park, and dining, along with generally friendly staff and clean, updated spaces, while several drawbacks temper the experience.

Many reviews note valet only parking is expensive and sometimes inconvenient. Others mention city noise from nightlife or the trolley, and service consistency varies, from quick, helpful teams to missed cleanings, slow follow up, or receipt and valet problems. Best for travelers who prioritize easy access and a lively area over hush quiet and low parking costs.

The property was nice, but be cautious about the homelessness in the area, as there were individuals sleeping right outside. The VIP parking is the only option available, and it’s a bit pricey with no self-parking available.

they ran out of park. they don't have enough parking if you are going there for an event. then they tell you to find a parking spot in a garage that is 5 blocks away and you have to figure it out on your own. all while 5 parking attendants just stand there and look clueless.

Excellent location, great staff and great facilities condition. Only available parking was the valet which I then found out was too expensive at $65/day, that is a my only negative of this hotel, that was never mentioned at the counter and that made the overall cost not that attractive.

The hotel is nice and clean, however, when we arrived to check in at 4pm the room was not ready until an hour later. The staff did not give us an vouchers, as promised or a discount because of the room being unavailable an hour later. I watched the hotel manager go buy drinks for 2 other guests and failed to attend to anyone else in the lobby waiting for their room as well. Seemed he was too occupied trying to get a number from this female guest then to recognize other customers waiting a whole hour for their room. The parking at the hotel was also unorganized and we had to park our car at another parking structure and had to pay $96 even though we were told it was a $25 flat rate by the Hilton valet guy. I’m disappointed in the hotel because they were very unorganized and unprepared, but the hotel was only a 5 min walk from Petco park, which the concert was at.

PROS: beautiful property, 15 dollar voucher a day to spend, knowledgeable staff, streets are walkable, surrounded by plenty of fine dining options & convenience stores, pool was clean and cozy, housekeeping kept our rooms nice and stocked the entire stay CONS: very loud train nearby became frustrating in the morning when you’re trying to get some rest, many homeless folks around the area (some even exposing themselves), television was hard to figure out and super limited on channels, nightlife noises start once it gets dark so if you’re looking for peace and quiet I would stay elsewhere but I personally didn’t mind it

The food options were great. The bed and duvet cover could be more comfortable. The fabric on the duvet cover wasn't very soft and the bed was okay. The pillows were nice. When I took a bath, the stopper didn’t hold the water. Water was leaking out as I continued to fill the bath. Also, the tile to tub connection had some gaps that need to be filled with silicon to prevent water damage. Other than that, the look of the room and amenities spaces were beautiful.

I paid for a premium room and view, and did not receive it. I was charge $2,500, plus an additional $365.00 not sure why. In addition, my room was not clean properly. the shower curtains smelled liked mildew, the shower head was not cleaned, molded, and it was disgusting and I feel they staff gave me the worse room because I was of a non white color. My experience was horrible. I was afraid my values were going to get stolen, therefore, I did not have services in my room. I came in one day and the safe was unlocked, so imagine how I felt. There is no need to add photos because the staff knows room 914 is disgusting. In addition, my first night 8 teenagers next to me made noise until 3 am and not one staff member and/or security did anything. I will never stay at the property again, and I am Hiltons member, not will I used Expedia ever again. Thank you!

This is our "go too" hotel, close to Seaport Village and amazing restaurants. The hotel itself is still lovely and clean but the rooms are starting to look "tired" The carpet in our room looked pretty worn with multiple large stains and felt icky. For the high nightly price tag your guests need to not question the cleanliness of the rooms and feel that the pristine cleanliness is only reserved for the public areas. On a positive note, we were given an early check in.

This is a great location, across the street from the convention center (where my event was held) and right in the Gaslamp Quarter area with many restaurants nearby. My room was on the train/trolley side of the hotel - I was surprised that the noise was not bad. Except there was one night the train was running for about an hour between 8 pm - 9 pm parking, which was slightly annoying - nothing the hotel can avoid, but if that will be a deal breaker for you, request not to be on that side of the hotel. I'd still stay in the room I was in. The rest of the nights were just fine, and I liked the view from that side of the hotel. Breakfast is great in the Wild Hare! I used my $25 food credit on that. They have fresh OJ, which is so delicious, and they have great coffee. I was not a fan of the dinner options, but it's San Diego, so I'm usually out eating great Mexican food anyway.

I recently stayed at the Hilton and had a mixed experience. Upon arrival, there was no bellhop available to assist with my luggage. I had to locate a bellcart myself, wheel it out to my car, bring everything up to my room, and then return the cart—something I wouldn’t expect to do at a Hilton. The room itself was clean, well-kept, and nicely appointed, which I appreciated. However, the walls were incredibly thin, making it hard to relax with the constant noise from the hallway. On a positive note, the hotel restaurant was a highlight—the food was excellent. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the quality of the meal, falling short in attentiveness and overall experience. Overall, while the stay had its strong points, particularly the cleanliness of the room and the restaurant’s food, the lack of service and noise issues made it less than ideal.

Very friendly staff. We arrived prior to check-in and they were able to provide an early check-in. It was Easter weekend and the hotel was having a fun Easter egg hunt with eggs hidden around the hotel. We were there for a Padres game and it was the perfect location with an easy walk to and from the stadium.

The valet staff was quick and polite- and the process was so easy when we needed our car. The hotel staff were helpful and kind- and I got texts daily to check in on our stay. They even helped with restaurant recommendations! If I ever get to visit San Diego again- I will def stay here!

I recently stayed at the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp. While the room and location were, respectively, excellent and good, I was truly annoyed by a simple receipt issue. I specifically requested the receipt to be emailed to me. I'm surprised that such a basic issue would require webpage messages (which I completely ignored), multiple phone calls (with long wait times), and lengthy emails. It is unacceptable for Hilton to be unable to handle such a basic billing issue, which I had already experienced at another Hilton property overseas. It seems Hilton has lowered its customer service standards.
