"It's what you would expect from the Hilton. Nothing more, nothing less. It was great for family and for the Padres game and we always visit this property everytime we go to the Padres game. Only downside was that the AC did not work even after multiple requests to fix / change rooms. I was offered a free parking for the trouble."
