We recently stayed at Hillcrest House for a long holiday weekend. We give it two thumbs up! We arrived as a "late check-in" from the East Coast. Ann had left our key and detailed map of the property and surrounding area where she had said it would be. We found the room to be large and clean. After traveling most... more

We spent a glorious weekend at Hillcrest House Bed and Breakfast! Ann is a marvelous hostess and the house is incredibly charming. It happens to have belonged to my grandmother at one point, and my mother grew up there. It is close to many attractions and the room was comfortable, clean and the sheets were to die for! We will... more

I frequent San Diego for business, and have made the Hillcrest House my home away from home. The house is adorable, spotless, safe and always smells like a fresh batch of cookies are in the oven. The beds are heavenly, even for a self-proclaimed bed snob. The location is central, it is a good base for almost anywhere in San... more

For two years between 2006 and 2008, I was about 90% on the road. Never once did I feel as at home as I did here at Hillcrest House. Ann is so personable, I felt like I was visiting family. If I need to visit San Diego for any reason, this is it where I'm staying. more

Near most of the major attractions -- downtown, Balboa Park, Mission Bay, Old Town, etc. Ann is a fantastic host. Even though hot breakfasts aren't provided, I never left the table hungry. Plus, I love fresh... more

This beautiful & marvelously maintained bed and breakfast is only outdone by the charm of innkeeper Ann Callahan. The rooms are ideally furnished and equipped with various sizes and layouts. The continental breakfast is a perfect start to the morning, usually with nice chats with fellow travellers and Ann. The location is perfect in Hillcrest, just far enough away to... more

I found the Hillcrest House when putting together a honeymoon to San Diego. I received great service when first calling to reserve the room. Since it was last-minute on my part, I reserved for several nights at the Hillcrest House and was given a good recommendation to a near-by B&B for the final night as they were already booked. Upon... more

My girlfriend and I went to San Diego to bring in the New Year in the Hillcrest area. I found the B&B on Purple Roofs, Ann was so nice and made us feel welcomed immediately! We were within walking distance to many great restaurants and several bars. It was nice to chat with Ann, and other guests in the morning... more
