Comments about the restaurant:
“DoubleTree Mission Valley is very supportive of local businesses ~ I was so impressed with their selection of San Diego Craft Beers at the Lounge (available in flights so you can taste several during your visit)!
Pro Tip: They have a great Happy Hour from 3pm-7pm – it’s a perfect spot to grab a drink before heading to a movie next door at UltraStar Cinemas!”
