This hotel was not what I expected. This was my first experience with Holiday Inn and I was very much surprised at what I found. The rooms were incredible, so new and trendy, and very comfortable. I was pleased with the service, the front desk agent checking us in was courteous and efficient. Late one night our TV was not... more

Awful hotel with rude and unhelpful staff that don't listen to what your trying to tell them. I stayed in Holiday Inn for my trip to Comic Con 2009 with some friends. I had stayed in Holiday Inn on the Bay in 07' which was nicer apart from that they were renovating so it was noisy and our air con... more

and, no, it wasn't because I was trying to "wash away the darkness of the lonely night" It was the damnable eco-friendly air conditioning at this hotel. It's apparently hooked up to a motion sensor. So every ten minutes or so, it noisily turned off until I would lament the heat, check to see why it was off, or cry... more

I finished my week long business trip in LA and decided to spend two days in San Diego towards the end of May and what a pleasant surprise this hotel is! I agreed with some previous reviews about the location - this hotel is NOT really in the heart of downtown or so-called "Gaslamp District" but it is within a... more

If this is what Holiday Inns have become since I was kid 30 years ago, I'm going to have to rethink my image of them. The Holiday Inns I remember staying at years ago weren't anywhere near as nice as this. I stayed in a room on the top (16th) floor, and I was surprised by how nice the room... more

I have not been satisfied with stays at Holiday Inns in recent years, so I was not terribly enthused when my company booked this hotel for our expedition to Comic-Con 2009. I could not be more pleasantly surprised. Recent renovations have brought this hotel into the 21st century. Pleasant decor, comfortable furniture, clean & well maintained building, true high-speed internet... more

I loved staying here, especially the bathrooms! I'm a real stickler for the bathrooms so when I saw the vanity mirror, fierce blowdryer, I was definitely happy. The food was pretty good, too! The elevators were fast & efficient & the staff was beyond friendly & courteous. It was great hearing a "good morning" from the desk or a manager... more

Wonderful hotel with a great staff and location. Our room had a fantastic view of downtown and the water. The room was good sized and the bathroom was very clean and spacious. Best of all their prices were reasonable. My wife and I have stayed at three other hotels in San Diego near the waterfront but the Downtown Holiday Inn... more

I stayed in the "tower" and had a very nice room...lots of nice touches. The room was very well insulated and very quiet. I had dinner at the Point Loma cafe next to the hotel and it was delicious. The only negative was too few parking spots. Great view of the harbor and easy access to downtown and the airport. more
