The Doubletree Mission Valley is a great hotel in a really good location for a short break in San Diego. The staff are very friendly and the hotel is clean, tidy and comfortable throughout. The location is very good being a short walk/drive from various malls/eateries and other facilities as well as being right on the tram system into town. It is also not far to drive into the centre of SD or especially to the zoo and other attractions in that area.

An excellent hotel. Beautiful big room on the 11th floor, free breakfast and evening canapes in the 11th floor private lounge, fresh baked cookies every day and right by the Hazard trolley stop. Join the Hilton Honours club before you go and get upgraded to the 11th floor. Only 15 mins on the trolley to the centre of San Diego. We didn't need a car at all.

We stayed here for the holiday weekend, we wanted somewhere that was fairly central. Our main concern when booking was that it was clean, easy to get to attractions, and fairly cheap, as the only time we would be spending here was to sleep.

Although the hotel was busy and there was a wedding taking place the staff were polite and helpful.

The rooms were a good size, and spotlessly clean. Even though we were so close to the freeway there was little noise.

The hotel matched our requirements perfectly and I would definatley stay again.

We were in California on vacation for a week. We spent the first half in San Francisco and the second in San Diego. We really liked this hotel. Their shuttle will come and pick you up from the airport for free(you will have to pay for the shuttle to take you back but it's cheaper than a taxi). The staff was very helpful and friendly. Our room was nice and clean. It was just me and my husband and we ended up with a room with two double beds. I didn't think that was what we booked through hotels.com but we end up with more space so that was fine. The trolley stop is directly across the street. For most of our trip the ticket machine at the trolley station was not taking dollars but you can buy all day passes at the hotel front desk. We did not rent a car and did not need to. We could get everywhere we wanted to go via the trolley. When we went to Mission Beach, we just transfered to the bus at Old Town. (You can also do that to get to Sea World). I read some post that said the hotel is far from downtown but with the trolley being right there it didn't seem that far. A few stops and you're at GasLamp or Petco. So if you don't mind waiting sometimes for the trolley to come,it is still public transportation, you can stay at this hotel without renting a car. We had a great time and will definitely stay there again.
