I found the Holiday Inn to be a nice hotel that was priced accordingly. The property is located off the bay and adjacent to the I-5 Freeway. As such, it is probably not the best location for walking through San Diego, but it is not so far enough from the bay and the downtown area that walking would be completely... More

We reserved 2 rooms for our stay and they managed to get us into 2 adjoining rooms so we were actually able to open up the door in between and go between the 2 rooms. The rooms were quite clean and spacious and overall, the hotel appeared to be in good condition except for the washroom doors which for some... More

I was worried after booking the hotel and saw the negative reviews about the noise and shabby neighborhood. However, after I arrived, it is surprisingly better than I expected. The room is very clean and comfy with modern and new decoration. I didn't hear any noise, actually it was pretty quiet that if you didn't tell me it's by the... More

We stayed at this hotel during our three-week west coast roundtrip. We liked this hotel in downtown San Diego which is located in walking distance to the Gaslamp Quarter (nice for dining in the evening - especially in the nice Mexican restaurants). Parking in the hotel garage is 17 $ / day. The pool area is not too nice as... More

Much I had read about the property and its location, I think my standards were low. First of all, I must say that the whole area (and not just the hotel itself, which is by the highway) is full of homeless people and shady characters. The walk to the Gaslamp district and back can be sketchy, but I found a... More

We stayed there in November 2011 with some friends. The hotel is close to the center, walking distance to Little Italy, Gas Lamp Quartier, the shore etc. The rooms are clean but small. Our room was with "bay view" but frankly you don't see the bay or the sea much, therefore do not expect to have much of a seaview.... More

I spent a week in this hotel at the start of December. Good enough location. Balboa Park seaport village and the gaslamp are all walkable and you are basically in Little Italy. Found the staff very helpful - one guy in particular could not do enough for you. It is close to the freeway and the airport but I had... More

The hotel room was clean, but we had difficulty with the lights and it seemed that there may have been a short in one of them. Reported it to the front desk for them to look at, but never heard if they actually followed through. Wake up call never happened so remember to set your phone alarm for back-up for... More

Not a bad hotel, nice enough rooms but the location was a bit dodgy, you had to walk past the homeless hang-out or walk quite a long way round to avoid it! On site Cafe was expensive but I can recommend the garage across the road who were helpful, friendly and CHEAP. As for the complimentary shuttle..........desk staff were unhelpful... More
