Hilton Garden Inn San Diego Old Town/SeaWorld Area
Room was ok. Lampshade had stains and some of the lamp chargers didn’t work near the bed. All in all it was close to where we wanted to walk to but probably would stay somewhere else next time. There was also a dog across the hall that was barking from around 7 pm to 9:30 pm.

Courtyard by Marriott Old Town
Pool and Jacuzzi not open except for evenings -which is a real downer since I search and book accommodations according to amenities offered. Also the fixtures in bathroom were very clunky and loud while adjusting water temp. or flow. Toilet water pressure for flushing was horrible.

Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Definitely a family/children focused property. Lots and lots of kids. Walls are thin to adjacent room. Room was basic. Resort fee was overpriced. Grounds are pretty. Staff friendly.
