Room Review
The hotel room is very spacious and comfortable. Cosy and clean.
TV, tea & coffee maker and a working table with table lights.
A nice sofa for you to relax and watch tv.
Bathroom & Toilet
There is shower which run both hot and cold water and a clean bathtub.
Clean towels are fold neatly at the rack.
If you open the wardrobe, iron and iron board are there in case you need to iron your clothes.
But, charges for water!
There is no complimentary mineral water. If you drink the water on the table, you need to pay $2.95 for a bottle. Quite expensive I find, we just went to nearby supermarket to get our drinks, less than $0.50 or zero cents if you drink from the tap.
Crabtree & Evelyn Toiletries
The toiletries provided in the room are all Crabtree & Evelyn brand which has very mild and soothing frangrance.
Breakfast
The breakfast buffet offer pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausages, waffles, hashbrown, salad, tea or coffee and orange juice. Pretty standard.
Fruits & yogult
Trolley Bus
Opposite the hotel, you will find trolley bus which link you to most major attractions.
Hazard Center – a mall with shops and restaurants are within walking distance.
Final thoughts :
Overall I had a great experience in Double Tree by Hilton San Diego – Mission Valley. The whole hotel, lobby and hotel rooms are very clean and well kept. The hotel room is very spacious and comfortable. Plenty of space to move around beside having three huge suitcases in the room.
What I most delighted was receiving the warm cookies from the front desk! It was such a nice gesture! The cookies are still very warm and taste wonderful as we just need some bites before finding our dinner.
Oh that’s such a lovely hotel! And cookies make it even lovelier. Thanks for sharing this review, bet you loved it there!
This hotel looks so relaxing! I’ll keep it in mind for my upcoming San Diego trip!
Just went through your review of this fabulous hotel of San Diego. Stunning pics. Spectacle of luxury all around.
This looks like a beautiful hotel! I love the lobby and the fresh look
Perfect hotel with great interiors. I recently had a stay in double tree in Edmonton and find it perfect
Warm chocolate cookies upon check in sounds like a lovely way to greet the guests. I would love to be pampered like this
This hotel seems to have every comfort! I appreciate that the welcomed you with cookies, that’s very appropriate for Christmas season.
This hotel has the friendliest staff. Shuttle bus was quick, with delicious breakfast. Right in little Italy and just a walking distance to harbor.
This looks like a really luxurious place to stay. 2.95 for water though, woah!! On the plus side the indoor pool looks really inviting!
