Circa 1910. Conveniently located to visit any of the popular attractions of the San Diego, California area, Hillcrest House Bed & Breakfast was built in 1910 and recently renovated to provide modern comforts and technology. Playing games or cards, putting together puzzles and watching television are enjoyed in the fireside parlor. Relax on the open-air porch with a good book from the inn's library. Guest bedrooms are named after local sites and are located on the first and second floors. Innkeeper Ann Callahan hand-makes baked goods as part of a hearty continental breakfast served in the dining room. Concierge services are available. Dine in the Gaslamp Quarter, stroll through Historic Old Town, see Shamu at Sea World or take the trolley to Tijuana, Mexico. There is much to see and do.

When my husband had a business trip to do a seminar in San Diego, California-I knew I wanted to extend & visit a local B&B! We have a "Hillcrest" area in Little Rock Arkansas which is a quaint older area with character. So the name caught my eye right away...coupled with the price, it was a no brainer. It was charming! The innkeeper happened to be away the evenings we stayed, but the young man left in charge was TERRIFIC! The breakfast/the wine & cheese in the evening: both were delectable. Good-bye to sterile hotels-the romance of this B&B was SUBLIME!! Kissable moments all over the place!
