Stayed here due to it's proximity to La Jolla, price and that it was rated 3rd for the San Diego area. Hotel appears new and has a great feeling when entering due to a well designed lobby and bar area. Only 4 storeys high. Rooms are not large but standard for a newer hotel. This hotel shares the lot with... More

While HGI doesn't have all the luxuries/amenities of a great resort hotel, it gives you about everything you could expect for the price point. Very clean, comfortable, well appointed rooms. Friendly staff that was helpful in directing us to different locations in the area. The truly pleasant surprise, however, was their food. We came back for the happy hour at... More

At our Hilton Garden Inn, we take great pride in the quality of our food in Bistro 39 where our Culinary Institute of America trained chef, Larry DiFolco and our Food and Beverage Manager, Bill Songer perform their magic with our...

We try to stay at Hilton Garden Inn whenever we can find one and here is an outstanding reason why. The rooms are clean, quiet, and beds very comfortable. In the dining room, the waitpersons served beautifully and got our breakfast order just perfect. Clearly the General Manager here (Ann Marie Kimble) has set the bar high and it reinforces... More

My daughter, granddaughter and I stayed at this hotel for 12 nights at the end of March and beginning of April. We expected a cookie-cutter generic hotel and were most pleasantly surprised at the service we received. The staff was consistently helpful and friendly and we would like to add a special note of commendation to Bill Songer, your banquet... More

I've stayed in many hotels during my travels through the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and I cannot remember a more consistent and friendly hotel staff than my last stay at the Hilton Garden Inn at San Diego/Del Mar. The General Manager, Ann Marie Kimble, has set the tone for a level of hospitality that made my stay seem more like... More

Hotel was fine thought we would try a step up from Hampton but found no advantage for the extra $. Stay at the Hampton instead and buy yourself a nice dinner. More

I travel every week for work and have stayed in many hotels over the years. I can't say how impressed I was with my recent stay at the Hilton Garden Inn San Diego/Del Mar. The difference between this and other similar class hotels is their attention to detail. The rooms are clean, the property is well-maintained, and the staff is... More

After a few days in Vegas, we checked in to this hotel. Everything about our stay was FANTASTIC! We were road-tripping with 3 kids and meeting extended family in the area. The staff was so guest-oriented. They took care of all our annoying requests with such grace. The food was wonderful and very-reasonably priced. We ate more than half our... More
