Hillcrest House Bed & Breakfast

Love, love, love!! This was our second stay at Hillcrest House, and we truly love it here. We stayed in the Old Town room because it has a little private patio and we can open the outside door to enjoy the fresh air. (We live in the desert near Joshua Tree, so we really appreciate the fresh, moist, coastal air of San Diego in July.) Ann is a fab host, and it is clear that much attention has been given to all the little details of ensuring that guests have everything we need to be comfortable. The rooms are well maintained and spotless, the house is very comfortable and super clean, there is coffee/tea available 24/7, and she always leaves a few little muffins and apples out in case someone needs a little bite of something. Hillcrest House is centrally located between the 163 and I-5, just south of I-8, which is very convenient for us. There are several restaurants within a short walk, and Ann is always happy to recommend some local attractions or activities if needed. In summary, a delightful proprietress, a clean, comfortable, centrally located inn that has everything we need. We highly recommend! 😀

Both the rooms and the grounds here are charming. The bedrooms are comfortable reminders of a bygone age. The public areas are cozily lit and stocked with diversions like books for relaxing. Manicured shrubs and flowers draw hummingbirds. Anne is a wonderful host that is friendly and obviously loves sharing this abode with you. If you are looking for a base to explore the Zoo and the rest of Balboa Park, look no further than Hillcrest House B&B.

I thought enjoyed my stay at Hillcrest House. Anne brought a warm welcome and hospitality to all her visitors. Great breakfast every morning and the rooms were very comfortable and private. I stayed from 16 to 21 July and was able to walk to most venues for San Diego Pride week. Thanks to Anne and staff I had a very memorable time in San Diego!

We felt at 'home away from home' at Hillcrest House. Ann is the consummate hotelier - considerate, helpful, and friendly. Her tips for the beautiful city and surroundings were so useful. She prepares breakfast every day, and everything is always not only homey, but also spic and span. She is easy to contact via phone and will go out of her way to accommodate special requests. Being from out of state, we would make her place our top choice when we visit San Diego again!

What a wonderful weekend!!! I cannot say enough kind words for our experience at Hillcrest House. Ann is an amazing individual. She only enhanced our weekend getaway. The room was more than adequate in size. Beautiful shower. Comfortable setting. Plenty to eat at breakfast. Witty banter. We would easily come back and stay again. Money well spent especially considering location & parking availability. Thank you again.

Ann is a wonderful host! Coming from years of experience in the hospitality industry, she provides a nice breakfast and the accommodations were cozy and homey. I appreciate her offering suggestions for restaurants and public transportation. The bus is a couple blocks away and the neighborhood is very walkable. I felt safe and cared for the entire visit (1/2-1/8). The price is very affordable for the area and I enjoyed sitting the common areas and on the porch. If you are heading to San Diego, I highly recommend Hillcrest House B & B!

The whole vibe of the house is welcoming, comfortable and a home away from home. Ann is a wonderful host, she knows the city inside out and is very kind in taking out the time and advising on where to visit. She specifically explained on her tablet where I should park and had excellent restaurant recommendations as well. The location is also great, very easy access to all the tourist places. I look forward to staying here again whenever we visit San Diego.
