The staff were very helpful and the hotel was super clean and quiet. Our room was cleaned as requested every time. The location is super convenient to the highway for fast travel and the airport was about 12-15 minutes away. The location was also walking distance to Old Town San Diego shops and boutiques.

Not great, but it’s passable.

We stayed here because of the walking distance to Old We stayed here because it was close to Old Town San Diego, which was awesome. 5/5. The room we stayed in had some strange humming sounds coming from other rooms. I think it was their AC, so it wasn’t super comfortable. 3/5. Oh, and parking overnight is $26 a night, so that’s another thing to consider. 1/5. Next time we’re in San Diego, we’ll probably stay at a different hotel.

Fast check in and easy walk to Old Town. Interesting smell in the room, cumin and turmeric, but the wife smelled vinegar. I wonder what the cleaning staff use and if they avoid harsh chemicals, that smell better than what my scent picked up.

Perfect hotel choice!

The Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town/SeaWorld Area was the perfect choice for our little vacation! We had spent the entire day at the USS Midway and only had to drive a very short time to reach the hotel from the Midway. The hotel is literally across the street from Old Town! Very nice to not have to drive to dinner. The room was spacious and clean; absolutely no complaints. We enjoyed breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant and I have to say it was delicious! Probably the best hotel breakfast we’ve ever had. Our waitress was so helpful and friendly. We’re definitely staying at this hotel again next year when we vacation in San Diego!
