You’ll find local eateries nearby that stay open past midnight. Planning a slow morning? Breakfast is available to help you recover and refuel.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t offer live music, you’re steps from Old Town’s bars and only a short ride from San Diego’s vibrant nightlife hubs. Whether you're after a craft cocktail or live DJ, you’ll find it close by. Prefer to chill? The hotel bar is a quiet place to unwind with a drink.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, easy access to public transportation, and the clean, comfortable rooms. Many mention how convenient it is to get to venues and appreciate the free Wi-Fi and parking. The location is especially praised for being close to both the airport and popular attractions.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the walls can be a bit thin—so light sleepers may want earplugs if the hotel is busy. While the restaurant is handy, more late-night food options on-site would be a bonus. That said, the pros far outweigh the cons.

For concert-goers wanting a mix of convenience, comfort, and easy access to San Diego’s music venues, the Hilton Garden Inn Old Town hits all the right notes.
