It was widely reported in July the Hilton Family wasn't going to be giving out USA Today anymore as an enviromental move. Have found many still are, or at least making copies available in the Lobby for anybody who really wants them.
I like the San Diego ES. Good location. Good views, if you get a west or south facing room. Asked about a Diamond upgrade, got a great balcony room with a superb view. Twice. Last there in April- they were remodeling/re-furnishing all the rooms.
