Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Access to Old Town & Freeway. The pool, gym, & laundry room were very clean. Restaurant was convenient & food was good & reasonably priced.
The AC was noisy. Changed rooms because carpet in 1st room had some type of residue on it (cleaning?) Mattress wasn’t as comfortable as previous stays.
walking distance to Old Town san diego and the public transport trolley station
Close to area where I was attending a wedding and also close to airport. The hotel was clean and comfortable.
They do not have any lunch provisions inside the hotel though they do have breakfast and dinner provisions. Although you can walk to Old Town for lunch, I would have preferred to have this available in the hotel.
Noise ac unit
The hotel manager agreed that he owed me a partial refund but I never received it!
- good size and clean lobby - quiet rooms
- shower light not working - body wash container was empty - no room service during our two nights stay - TV console drawers and doors are out of alignment - outdated elevators, shaking and making loud noice
Not much.
Our AC did not work all night and the room was super uncomfortable. The fridge was also not cold enough to save our food and we had to throw it out in the morning because it smelled bad.
They didn’t charge for parking this time
Booked a king room. They had none when we got there and said he can give us a bonus upgrading gave us two queens. It was not a bonus.
I'm not a breakfast person, but my wife is. She enjoyed the fresh fruit and yogurt. Good hotel location. Lobby area was inviting to all.
I can't think of anything that could have been better. We were satisfied.
I love the entire property and the esthetic of the old Spanish style feel of the hotel with a modern twist.
Nothing, we loved everything
We had a pleasant stay at Hilton San Diego Old Town. The location is really convenient, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. There’s also a small shop at reception which is handy for picking up water, snacks, milk and other essentials. The rooms are a good size and comfortable, which made the stay enjoyable overall. The reason I’m giving 3 stars is mainly due to the housekeeping and room facilities. We were told that our room would be cleaned daily, but it was actually only cleaned every other day. Also, the room didn’t have a safe, which I would expect from a hotel of this standard. Overall, a decent hotel in a good location with friendly staff, but the housekeeping communication and lack of an in-room safe could definitely be improved.
Il costo del garage. Eccessivo.
The property is very near to downtown and sea world which is very convenient. The rooms are decent size. The lobby is nice and big.
The shower door was leaking.
Clean, tidy and generally well kept hotel in a solid location.
Paying for parking in a hotel that’s a little out of town
Exceptional
the convenience of the location and the friendly staff
nothing
Quell parco mex, k c' è vicino, molto carino, diverso, bello ed interessante
Esteticamente l'hotel stesso
Love the location! Dog friendly. Close to freeways but no loud road noise. Plenty of parking. Pool is small but was clean. Pleasant stay all and all.
They ran out of towels at the pool but that’s minor.
Great hotel, comfortable room, short walking distance to Old Town and restaurants. Enjoyed our stay.
It was clean
How far the laundry room was and ice machine didnt work
Everything
Nothing
Lage, essen beim restaurant vorallem frühstück und das personal.
Es war nicht so sauber wie erwartet vorallem decke hatte grosse flecken.
room. location. Quiet
Rooms are nice and clean
Parking fee. Was told it was $20 a night and was charged $56 for two nights. Not happy about that.
We Loved the restaurant at the Hotel the food was delicious!! Plus the price was decent! Thank you
One the side door of the Hotel doesn't have wheelchair access. Had to go all the way around building to get into our room! Disappointing due to the quality of the Hotel. Would be nice if they thought of the disable people. Thank you.
Staff was very nice and always available. Room was clean and kids loved the pool.
There was nothing we did not like
Great location for Old Town restaurants and accessing USD. The breakfast was fantastic, bacon was ON POINT and the staff in the dining area are incredibly kind.
Cleanliness of our first room was garbage. Ants in our bed and dirty sheets on the second bed. We were given a new room and the mini fridge was broken (claimed it was fixed but it never was), shower pressure was low and then stopped working all together at one point before kicking back on-I expected more for paying $1200+ for 3 nights.
Location was excellent!
Room was near the elevator and vibrated in the bathroom, very loud. Otherwise the room was great and bed was comfortable
Traveled down to San Diego due to my mom eventually passing away. While I was here I had to deal with the logistics related to such an event. What made the whole ordeal less taxing was the outstanding personnel here at the hotel. I want to give special recognition to Ann at the front desk. She was especially accommodating in assisting me with various document copies and faxes. If it were possible, I would give this hotel 6 stars. On behalf of my brother and myself, I want to again thank the wonderful staff here at the Hilton Garden Inn.
Staff was wonderful and easy to park and restaurant was delicious and convenient with room service !
The water shut off while I was showering but only once! Do not think it is a consistent issue
The professionalism of staff and their kindness. Location of the hotel to our activities.
The pool/spa did not have towels. There was a basket overflowing of used towels but no clean ones.
Ubicación
Poca variedad en el desayuno en la semana
Breakfast was good, could have had a few more options, instead of just eggs though. Maybe French toast or pancakes as well.
The room had a horrible view of the rooftop, and it was not as big as I was expecting for a hotel like this.
It was clean and perfect location.

pierwszy raz spotkałem się z napiwkami podczas śniadań doliczanych do ceny hotelu. Nie dość, że samemu bierzesz śniadania i napoje to jeszcze trzeba dać za to napiwek. Tragedia. Oczywiście śniadania codziennie takie same więc w połowie pobytu poszedłem na śniadanie do restauracji poza hotelem.
We love staying at this hotel when we're visiting San Diego. It's so close to Old Town which we can walk to and to the train station as well.
Location
Shower door leaked really bad. Had to put a towel down each time we took a shower.
Beautiful
needs more elevators on each side of building would be convenient
my bad i thought breakfast was included
breakfast wasn't included
Beautiful clean friendly staff
Everything was great
Location, the room, free coffee available in the mornings.
Room was very spacious. Nice decor and great location
Location
MANAGER MICHELLE IS HORRIBLE! SHE HAS ZERO PROFESSIONALISM. EXTREMELY RUDE AND HER STAFF FEEDS OFF OF HER! AS A HILTON HONORS MEMBER I HAVE NEVER BEEN TREATED SO RUDE OR SHORT AT ANY HILTON. BECAUSE OF HER I WILL NEVER COME BACK TO THIS LOCATION AND TELL EVERYBODY I KNOW ALSO!
YOUR MANAGER MICHELLE! FRONT DESK STAFF IS VERY UNEDUCATED ABOUT HILTON HONORS REWARDS PROGRAM AND HOW IT WORKS! STAFF DOES/DID NOT SHOW YOU WERE ELEVATORS WERE AND THEY ARE NOT IN DIRECT LOBBY AREA. NOT A WELCOMING STAFF NOR MANAGER IN MICHELLE!
It was spacious… it had a breakfast… and more
Can’t say I didn’t like anything
全て最高。また行きたいです。
ほぼない。
Very clean modern well kept staff is very friendly and accommodating
The beds need to be changed out very worn and uncomfortable
The air conditioning was too loud in the room and it constantly kept us awake
It was clean the front desk crew was nice when we arrived and during departure
My daughter room didn’t get clean her heater didn’t work and we paid for parking and only parked one time on the lot when my daughter was discussing with the manager she was giving all kind of excuses and not trying to accommodate the issues but just not wanting to do nothing!!! This was the room where all 4 of my grandchildren stayed I was totally disappointed
The supervisor who checked us in asked if I wanted room cleaned daily I said yes. It only got cleaned once. And there was a spot of blood 🩸 on bathroom floor and made them aware of the first night. It didn’t get clean until I spoke with another young lady at from desk. Who was completely sweet Monday morning and morning of my check out! She needs to be a manger because everything I asked of her she did it! Also my bathroom door would barely open when i checked in. There is as that one day the cleaned room but left dirty towels in shower smh . Also my room didn’t t have any Heat. I told the lady the first night and nothing was done!!! It sucks to pay what you pay and expectations aren’t met. Plus we paid for parking and there was no parking on sight we had to park on street cause we had a sprinter van . I forgot to mention curtain wouldn’t even open.
Very clean, all staff members were very nice and attentive
Only one usb plug
Great place to stay. Just what we needed after long journey
All good
Clean, walking distance to old town.
Good location
Parking
Hotel was nice and it was close to airport and downtown (driving). Not much activity near the hotel, but Old Town is right there and there are a number of Mexican restaurants across the street. Given the location, I didn't thing the parking fee was necessary.
Parking fee. There wasn't much to do within walking distance.
The pool
The gym the rooms it was just dirty and bugs
We had left four pieces of clothing at the hotel after check out and we came back for it and we only got two things not our four. Poor.
Zimmer wurden nicht gereinigt
Location to what we wanted to do
Front desk staff overall not very friendly. Requested early check-in, didn't get it, however saw someone else come in after us and get checked in before 3pm. Mold in bathroom, AC very loud and vibrates walls when on especially in bathroom very loud. Beds and bedding not very comfortable. Fir a "HILTON" property, I was disappointed overpriced for what it offers. Wouldn't stay again.
Nothing
Room was not clean. Hair in the sink I had to wipe switches down they had sticky stuff on them. Light fixtures were full of dust and the vent system was so loud it kept us up all night
Very clean rooms and amazing front desk service. No complementary breakfast but the restaurant has amazing food and drinks. The server was so kind an accommodating. Would definitely stay here again!
Location and customer service.
High price for a mediocre breakfast and parking surcharges.
Right next to the old town
Parking fee Annoying humming noise from the AC
Close to Old Town
We had to pay for breakfast
The convenience and location to nearby restaurants and Old Town San Diego. The reception desk staff were kind, attentive, and helpful. As well as the staff in the hotel bar & restaurant! Digital key entry on our cell phones was a nice touch and very convenient!
Hilton lied about my earning points for my stay! Please check if your hotel honors your points for your stay because my 2 night stay earned absolutely nothing! The day of checkout the maid rushed us out at 11:58 AM when checkout was at noontime/12:00 PM! The maids never cleaned our room the first day even when we left our room in the am, removed our “do not disturb” door sign and asked them to please clean the room! Our trash in the bathroom and bedroom was overflowing and smelled horrible! We asked for our coffee supplies to be replaced. We only received coffee with no creamer, no sugar, no cups, etc! The cleaning staff/maid service were lazy, unfriendly, dismissive, and rude! All that after I initially left a tip for the maid service on the first night before I was mistreated, disregarded, and disrespected!
Good location and clean room
No breakfast included, no water for coffee or to drink, and I had to pay 30.00 for parking. I was not happy about that.
Convenient, clean
No designated area for pets
