We didn't realize that Coronado Bridge view room is actually mostly industrial area view. No bottled water in the room and you have to request for blue cards to exchange for those at the promenade. Doors does not close quietly so everytime somebody from the adjacent rooms go out or come in, we wake up when asleep. Oh and the flat iron in the room transferred melted plastic onto my husbands pants ruining them.

Disappointed with Hilton
I was staying here while on a business trip and found out when I arrived to check in that the hotel workers were on strike. It would have been nice if the hotel notified me in advance of the strike....the strike was loud and as a guest I had to walk through the picket lines to get into the hotel. The workers on strike picketed from 7 am to 10 pm and were loud and obnoxious. Even though I was on the 27th floor I could still hear all the noise. They also came around the back side of the hotel where the pool area looked out over the bay and picketed there so you couldn't even truly enjoy the pool or hot tub without all the noise they were creating.

There was a long ongoing strike of the employees. The strikers were rude, insanely loud, harassing to us each time we entered or exited. It was our anniversary weekend and it was completely ruined with the terrible experience. I understand the need to strike, but this should have been disclosed during booking and the strikers shouldn’t be allowed to harass the guests. There were no housekeeping services each day, there were no eating facilities that were open, all but one entrance into the huge facility were closed, the pool was unusable because of the unruly strikers and I could go on and on. The stay was AWFUL and our anniversary trip ruined!!!!

Workers on strike
The lobby was completely closed due to workers on strike. They had the complete roadway to the hotel blocked off so it was very hard to access if we called an uber. Also the screams, drums, noise from everyone on strike was overwhelming and so loud. Not to mention we were given zero heads up (supposedly they have been on strike almost one month), so we were completely shocked upon arrival. At check in there was no apology, mention or offer of discount.

The workers were on strike and many of the amenities weren’t available. Additionally, I paid for breakfast through Expedia and they gave me $25 vouchers for my son and I and the only breakfast available was a buffet which costs $75 for the 2 of us.

We were disappointed on arrival to find that the hotel staff were on strike and that the hotel had limited services on . Black out curtains on the main doors to the bayfront and pool , no bar , no house cleaning. The poor staff on strike were shouting, bang drums , speaking on loud speakers , you could hear this from the 27th floor and from the pool area . The next morning we cancel our stay and move to another hotel . We had wished that the Hilton had informed of this before we arrived as this had been going on for weeks before. Very disappointed as this hotel had been highly recommended to us .

Be more transparent
Shame on hotels.com and Hilton for not mentioning when booking a week ago there has been a union protest outside for the last 5 weeks. What a debacle, the noise goes from 7am until 10pm banging on drums, loud speakers they walk around the bayside and ruin corporate events taking place and nothing can be done about it. I don’t see a reduction on price for a night either.
