The Spotlight on Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town/Sea World Area

Relaxed Comfort Near San Diego’s Music Scene

Modern and welcoming, the Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town/Sea World Area offers a laid-back stay just a 10-minute walk from the lively Old Town district. Combining convenience with cozy touches, this hotel is just five miles from San Diego International Airport and close to many of the city’s most popular music and entertainment venues.
Rooms come with free Wi-Fi, in-room coffee makers, and cable TV—perfect for winding down after a big night out. With an on-site restaurant and outdoor pool, it's a solid choice for travelers wanting comfort and accessibility.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and this hotel nails it—close to major venues and just a short drive from downtown San Diego. You're within easy reach of shows yet far enough for a quiet night’s sleep. The hotel’s 12:00 PM checkout is a huge plus after a late-night concert, and if you're flying in, the proximity to the airport makes it a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore the city and catch a show
  • Solo travelers chasing that dream concert experience
  • Couples planning a music-filled weekend getaway
  • Fans who want a peaceful place to recover post-show
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

The on-site restaurant serves up meals throughout the day, and while there's no 24/7 room service, there are plenty of walkable dining spots in Old Town. Got the late-night munchies? 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.

The Bottom Line

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.

Overall stay was great, staff...

Liked: Service for breakfast was excellent and food was good. I wish discounts were offered for breakfast for our stay because we spent so much just on one night.
Disliked: I didnt like that I had to pay additional for parking. My room was already over $300 and I still had to pay and excessive amount for parking.

Basic

Liked: Is was in a good location to where I was doing work. The hotel was clean and well appointed.
Disliked: The restaurant was really a cafe. And upon check-in they asked if we wanted room service (bed made, new towels) every other day. We said, yes. For a four day stay, we had room service only once and had to request new towels.

First and last time.

Liked: Not much of nothing. Maybe the bed.
Disliked: Definitely not up to Hilton Standards we are use too. Mislead the surrounding area and Shower was clogged as well as the sink which spewed up black goop when used. Just dirty. We will never go back.
