Friendly helpful and informative welcome. Unusually we had to pay up front. Nice room with a comfortable bed. Breakfast is as advertised. Every other b&b gave us some type of cooked breakfast which we personally preferred as it prepared us for a busy day of site seeing.It is $5 for an all day bus and trolley pass. More

Hillcrest House was the best ever. Rooms are nicely decorated and very clean. Innkeeper, Ann, was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Breakfasts were buffet style with muffins, juice, toast, cereal, fruit and of course coffee. This was our first time to San Diego and definitely not long enough to see everything. We will be returning next year and will stay at... More

Very cute early 20th century house, clean, comfortable, great location, perfect service, good breakfast. Ann is very kind and helpful in fulfilling all your needs and make everything easy. Quiet neighborhood but very close to Downtown San Diego, restaurants etc. Highly recommended. Francesca Bianchi, Los Angeles More

Ann Callahan treated us like honored guests at her cozy B&B. The location is terrific - a two minute walk to University Ave. and the Hillcrest area's many restaurants, and less than 10 minutes driving time to San Diego's Balboa Park. We were able to easily drive to many San Diego attractions, including the Zoo, Petco Park, the harbor and... More

You certainly can't beat the location of this little beauty - 10 minutes from everything! The innkeeper, Ann, met us at the door, and made us feel right at home. Our room was charming, and the bed was unbelievably comfortable. Thanks Ann, for a very nice experience! More

I recently had a two-day business trip in San Diego. I could have stayed in a big, impersonal hotel, but I prefer the homelike atmosphere of a B&B. This was my third visit to Hillcrest House. The first thing I have to say is that it is kept immaculately clean - all the fixtures in the bathroom are sparkling and... More

My husband and I love to stay in smaller boutique hotels and B & B's and the Hillcrest House didn't disappoint. The innkeeper, Ann, is very welcoming and accommodating and her charming B & B is filled with lovely amenities. The beds are super comfortable, and we loved the double shower in the bathroom-warm and relaxing. The location is superb... More

We typically stay in hotels because the experience is predictable. Based on reviews, I decided to book the HIllcrest House this time instead. We found the room to be very comfortable, the location pretty much ideal (short drive from airport, to all activities we had planned, quick access to freeways, and very quiet). Breakfast was just what we wanted, with... More
