The older motel room is what we were given, having used the Entertainment Card discount. Fortunately, it wasn't as noisy as expected, but if you can, opt for the tower rooms, as most everyone recommends. Also, fortunately, this was only a one night stay, and convenient to where we needed to be, but not up to Holiday Inn standards, IMO.

I want to thank Holiday Inn Bayside in San Diego for screwing up the room reservation we made on Travelocity and not having a room for us last night when we got there, causing us to drive 120 miles back east last night to El Centro CA to find a room and not being able to be with my son... More

The pool is fantastic it's really big and nice and clean. The rooms were fine, clean and spacious and the bathroom was nice. We ordered food from the pool restaurant at lunch which wasnt great but edible but the food prices were well overpriced. Mixed review about staff, the check in lady was most unfriendly and kept answering the phone... More

This hotel has clean, comfortable rooms, We stayed May 11th to May 18th 2012. Our room was a suite in the tower which we arranged prior to leaving Australia. This was a good decision as the motel style rooms are not too appealing. Upon arrival we were meet by front desk staffer Kris bluntly snapping & I quote " Your... More

Practical pricing and helpful staff. Rooms are clean and nice. Wasn't expecting a lot but was pleasantly surprised. Close to the airport.

After reading all the mixed reviews about this hotel, I was hesitant to book it. But Expedia was having a 'special Expedia rate' on this hotel which made it an even better deal than bidding through Priceline, so I decided to bite the bullet and go for it. I took the advice of the reviewers and called the hotel ahead... More

The hotel staff were the most unfriendly I'd ever seen - couldn't even smile when talking to us! Rooms were just ok...on the small size, bathroom way too small. Layout of the hotel property was pretty inconvenient.

I have to disagree. I think the staff in the hotel lobby were not helpful or friendly at all. A young girl one of the days, didn't seem to care less to help me out with the bus schedule or any kind of help. But the shuttle boys, the bayside bar, and cafe servers in the hotel were AMAZING and... More

Beware, there are about 5 Holiday Inn's in San Diego!! I think this is the best one! It is located right on the bay, so short walk to lots of good resteraunts etc. The staff here were AMAZING, couldnt do enough to help you. The rooms were very light and refreshing. The pool view rooms are the same price as... More

We booked a Park, Sleep, & Go rate through the hotel website and ended up with what had to be one of the tiniest two-queen rooms around for our family of four for $175 with tax. We were put in the back group of rooms, which had to be the oldest on the property. They were renovated the best they... More
