United States of AmericaThe only thing that we found to be somewhat problematic was the fact that we were limited to only one key. Since the property is well secured, requiring doors to common areas as well as guest rooms to be opened/secured with deadbolts as guests arrive/leave, having the key is essential. My wife and I were celebrating graduations/birthdays with my daughter and her family who live in San Diego - there were times the two of us were going in different directions and needed to leave/return to the property at different times. That was not always possible - an example - one morning I had to run some early errands and left before my wife awakened. I had to take the key with me in order to lock doors behind me as I left, which meant my wife was confined to the room until I returned. Not sure why we both could not have been provided a key. Perhaps we should have asked, but it would have been helpful to be offered two keys at time of check-in.
Ann was a fantastic host - she was warm, welcoming, very informative and and highly attentive to her guests' needs, always inquiring if anyone needed anything or had any questions about things to do to optimize their visit to the San Diego area. The breakfasts were simple, but prepared fresh daily and served in a very nice setting, offering several areas for seating that provided privacy, if you did not feel like being social in the morning, as well as others which offered ability to mix and socialize with other guests. The location was perfect for those visiting the area - it was very quiet considering you were within walking distance of downtown shopping, etc. The property itself offers 6 on-site parking places and there is plenty of additional street parking in the neighborhood. Again, a nice "suburban" luxury in the heart of a city.

United States of AmericaI paid through Booking.com and it turned out to be very expensive which has nothing to do with the property itself
loved the location and the other guests that were there

United States of AmericaI can’t think of anything that I would change.
The owner, Anne was genuinely friendly and happy to help with any questions or concerns. The property is beautiful, clean, and quiet. The breakfast was great. The spa tub was heavenly. I stayed in the LaJolla Suite and it had everything I needed. Fridge, microwave, keurig, wine glasses, etc. the bed is sooooooo comfortable and there are outlets for plugging in your cell, tablet, etc. Unfortunately, I ended up getting a bad cough right before I checked in so I spent the majority of time in my room but it’s a nice area and there is always so much to do in San Diego.

United States of AmericaThere’s nothing not to like here.
Honestly, Hillcrest House is one of the best B&B experiences I’ve had in the US. Charming house and convenient neighborhood with lots of restaurants; nice touches in the room; confortable … everything; warmly welcoming and helpful host and staff.

Ann was an amazing host and the beautiful cosy house is in a great location. It felt beyond comfortable and was so calming and tranquil. Ann was beyond helpful and gave us lots of help and tips for places to visit. It was a perfect base for all that San Diego has to offer and we would definitely stay here again.

United States of AmericaIt was a bit sketchy walking around at night, with the local homeless population. Our room was comfortable but very small.
Anne was a FANTASTIC host and made us some great muffins in the morning. Great location in San Diego close to everything you need, and excellent value for the price.
