A one night stay, close to the airport. Room needs updates, no USB plugs anywhere.
Restaurant was very good! Lyn was the bartender and she was awesome! I had the grilled Mahi Mahi tacos, they were so good! Juicy, messy and that red sauce was full of flavor. Quick service.

I’ll next come here again unless I have no choice. They offer clean rooms bathroom necessities and friendly service. But this hotel offers the very minimum otherwise so keep that in mind. As in, bring your own coffee/coffee maker, drinks food etc

We really enjoyed our stay at the Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town. For us, this was a stay cation for Christmas Eve. We were planning on walking to eat at one of the Old Town restaurants, but found they all closed early Christmas Eve. We were pleasantly surprised to find some good food at the restaurant inside the hotel. We ate there for both dinner and breakfast. The restaurant looks simple, but they deliver some quality food from their kitchen.
