I was surprised with the set-up of this Hilton property and more disappointed with their service. The property is split up with a timeshare property, which is ok, but not what I was expecting out of a Hilton property. The only nice part of the hotel is their lobby, which is what they show online, the rooms and everything else is subpar to a Hilton property. The check-in service was ok, no friendly check-in, is everything ok? will you be needing anything else during your stay? The following morning, their gardener decides to use the leaf blower at 645am right in front of our balcony. Why schedule landscaping services that early at a hotel, the week between Christmas and New Year is beyond me, but when I called the front desk he seemed bothered that I called to tell him and then proceeded to say he would try to get a hold of him, mind you my room was steps away from the front desk. The leaf blower did not stop until past 730am. Definitely wouldn't book this hotel again, despite it having a great location in Carlsbad and great view.
