Overall, I did like the hotel. The room was nice, clean, and what I would have expected from a Hilton. The person who checked me in was very friendly. The one thing I did not like is that I had to pay $15 to park my car in their outdoors parking lot. If I had parked in their garage, the charge would have been somewhat acceptable but the outdoors parking lot that is shared by other businesses??? It didn't seem reasonable.

The people at the front desk are always so rude - like we’re bothering them when we get there. Info provided was wrong about their own property. And the ceiling was falling part In the breakfast room we had for our group - embarrassing. Not going to stay here moving forward. This property has been on the decline over the years. I’ve been coming for 7 years for an event and it was just terrible this last time.

All in all, it was not a bad experience. I just don’t like the fact that it’s the only hotel chain out of the Hilton Garden does not give the continental breakfast and actually charge you for it.

I recently stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn San Diego - Rancho Bernardo and had a great experience overall. The hotel lobby and property are beautiful, with a welcoming atmosphere that makes a great first impression. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, offering a comfortable stay. That said, I did experience a couple of minor inconveniences. The room temperature was a bit tricky to regulate, and the bathroom door wouldn’t stay open on its own due to building code restrictions—not a huge issue, but worth noting. The biggest surprise was the $15 per day parking fee, which wasn’t clearly highlighted when I booked through a third-party app. While I was glad there wasn’t a resort fee, I would have appreciated clearer disclosure about the parking cost upfront. Despite these small drawbacks, the stay was enjoyable, and I would still recommend this hotel for its overall cleanliness, comfort, and beautiful property.

Most Staff were great—bar tender amazing. One or two of the front desk staff were ok, just not real very welcoming…. Especially at checkin. It would be great also if they warned you they will not make up your room or refresh your coffee and towels.

During times / weekends when there are an abundant of sports teams in the facility there needs to be some restraint on kids running around after 10:00 PM this was a problem during each night of my stay. Being an ex-hockey parent we had a 10:00 curfew for the kids so this did not become a problem. banging on the doors and calling rooms by the little hoodlums was not enjoyable. Other than that, the stay was o.k...

Great location for my purpose and nice clean hotel and rooms. Lack of personal availability. Often no one at the front desk or no one responds to calls. Nice friendly restaurant on the other end.
