"nice courtyard"

Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town/SeaWorld Area

10/10 Excellent

"We are Hilton members as we can expect consistency with Hilton Hotels. The Taylor Street, San Diego location is perfect for walking to Old Town State Park, Mission Hills, and even up to Univ San Diego on the hill. The ONLY item missing on a hot day is available ice water (with lemon slices) in the lobby. I was directed to the Fitness Center for a cup of ice water. Otherwise we shall certainly book a room there next time we visit family in San Diego."
