“Hilton Harbor Island's bayside stay”

Hilton San Diego Airport/Harbor Island is a resort-feeling airport hotel — a door that opens onto the seaside for morning jogs past fish, birds and harbor warships, a small balcony for sea-view beers, a seafood restaurant at the road's end, many eateries nearby, standard Hilton kit, accommodating service, and a standout van driver named Daniel whose warmth deserved a raise. The complaints: one repeat guest alleged dishonest, rude staff whose conduct worsens each stay; a wall-facing balcony view and disliked location for a German guest; and an odd twin-kings room configuration.
