We'd booked the room two months ago through their own website and received a confirmation e-mail a week before. None of that mattered. They overbooked, didn't have a room for us (but did check in the people behind us), and sent us to a hotel a 20-minute drive out of town. No room service, no indoor pool, tiny room with only one bed and a rollaway for our son that barely fit in the entryway, blocking the bathroom door. We were exhausted and it was awful.

Doubletree is probably lovely, but you can't count on them honoring your reservation. Or even treating you well when they bump you.

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.
