Dining: VERDE Kitchen & Bar with Mexican-inspired dishes
“Hilton Garden Inn's location suits travelers keen on exploring Old Town San Diego's cultural side. Rooms are well-maintained and provide modern essentials like microwaves and Keurig machines, though some guests have noted noise from AC units. I think the on-site VERDE Kitchen & Bar, emphasizing Mexican-inspired dishes, nicely complements the hotel's setting.”
