Expensive and service and elevators and cleaning is pathetic.
Pros:

service was pathetic. No one came to clean the room and always we have to ask for the towels.
Parking was a hassle.
Location was good but money wise its not worth it.

Cons:

Location only is what we liked.

Pros:

Quiet and convenient location.

Cons:

I was told that the frequency of room cleaning is every other day. But for the last 4 days of our 9 day stay it was never cleaned. We called but was told that the schedule was full.

Great experience
Pros:

I stayed at Hilton Garden Inn San Diego-Del Mar for almost a week. I had a great tike there and every night when I was coming back to the hotel Tina made me feel so welcome and she was always smiling and asking about my day! I wish I come back here again soon!

The hotel gave us a place to land for the day but it wasn’t a relaxing experience due to the state of our room. It was a
Pros:

Location was decent and sheets were clean.

Cons:

Dirty, stained, and taped down carpets in our room. There was blue painters tape used to hold down our carpet where it was missing threshold trim to separate it from the entry tile. Large stained spots were seen on the room carpeting. There were dust bunnies clinging to the baseboards around the beds.

There was an overwhelming perfume room deodorizing smell when we walked into the lobby each time.

Pros:

The property and the area around the property was safe. Very convenient to the freeways and to get out venue. There were plenty of good eating places not too far away and it was close to beach areas if we wanted to venture to them!

Only downside was not good breakfast options.

Pros:

The room did not have adequate toilet paper or wash cloths. Called customer service & was told items would be sent, but items were never delivered to my room. Ended up going to front desk the next morning because I reserved two days. Was given one roll of toilet paper & two wash cloths.
