Daily parking fee of $12 is terrible. Feds are going after businesses that tack on hidden/unnecessary fees. I got stonewalled when I complained that it allowed the hotel to advertise cheaper room rates than actual. Further, front desk wasn't aware of this sign, posted prominently by the elevators: "Our goal is to make your stay better and brighter. If something isn't just the way you like it, simply let any hotel team member know, and we will make is right. Guaranteed." Well, that pledge is bogus. Guess I won't be staying at any Hilton Garden Inn in the future. Caveat emptor.

A nice place to stay in San Diege

When we checked in the front desk agent was friendly and nice and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. I mentioned to her that we were going to have dinner at Ruth's Chris, Steak House, and she recommended a restaurant in Del Mar, that was near the racetrack that had a nice view, and we decided to take her advice, and we ended up having a wonderful seafood meal with great service and a nice view.

The lobby is nice , the rooms are very dated. Carpet has a smell like it needs to be replaced. No working ice machines on either floors. The water pressure in the shower was terrible, if the sink water was running or the toilet flushing the shower water was cold and just a drip.
