Top Desert Garden Hotel Reviews

Hilton San Diego Bayfront

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very helpful and the room was very clean."

Alma San Diego Downtown, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very helpful staff at check in and check out. The room was spacious and clean and the bed was so comfortable. There are no blackout curtains so expect to be greeted in the morning with sunlight. The parking situation is not ideal but we did pay to park across the street for $40 over night. They do have a bar in the lobby and one by the pool and the complimentary bottle of wine is a nice touch. Also we were given a $20 credit to use during our stay which I thought was great. "
