Appreciate all the updated posts.
I was going to book this property next week to try out since it is near my client in La Jolla.
Have now removed it from the list of prospects--will try out the Hilton Torrey Pines instead.

Hilton San Diego -Mission Valley - Great Deal on Groupon
Yeah I know it isn't the best San Diego Hilton property, but starting @$99 per night this seems like a pretty good deal so I thought I would pass it on-
This is a pretty central location for the Zoo and Sea World. Could be a good base for Spring Break.
One- or Two-Night Stay for Two in a Superior Room with One Appetizer, Two Drinks, and WiFi. Up to Two Kids Stay Free.
Book by: 11/23/12
Travel window: 10/12/12–3/30/13

So you wouldn't spend $20 more to stay at a Hilton over a Hampton Inn?
I think the price for the property is pretty good.

Is street parking still allowed?
Becareful as from the Arco till just past the car dealership theres a RED Curb = no parking. Then it was full by the LaQuinta so I parked right after that in front of the Comfort Suites and walked the few mins back up the road to the Hilton
I had just my cary-on rollerboard, anything more it pays to pull up and drop off your bags then go park

From my stay last month.
Check In: Very friendly check in agent. There was quite a line but it was right at check in time but they seemed busy most of the time. All of the people I dealt with were friendly.
Room: I didnt really get anything special as far as room is concerned as a Diamond. At least it didnt feel special. The first room was a connecting room and I could hear the people in the next room like they were in the same room. I am not that sensative at all either about noise. The phone and internet connection did not work and there was a DSL connection device sitting on the desk. It was like the room wasnt ready for prime time. The front desk person switched me to a quieter room. Apparently the complaint about noise is a common one based on the reaction. Most people seemed to complain about road noise but that never bothers me but listening to other folks talking all the time is annoying to me. The room itself is nothing spectacular. It is old school Hilton style and while kept clean it is very dated.
Parking: Parking is way to high at the hotel so I parked on the street. I was always able to find parking on the street but it was challenging at times. The area seems completely safe.
Location: Within walking distance there are a couple of restaurants nearby, Japanese and a coffee shop type place. There is a large shopping mall across the highway and it would be walkable but a long walk I think. It has very good access to the highway also.
Dining: Had breakfast each morning at the hotel and service was excellent each morning. The food choices werent great but the quality was very good I though. I also had dinner one evening and found service to be not as good as it was in the morning. The people working didnt seem to be on top of things and could really care less. Maybe just a bad night. The food was good though.
Conclusion: I doubt I will stay here again unless I get a really really good rate. The parking is a bit of a pain and the Doubletree not to far way looks much nicer than this property.
