The hostess girls (Rachel and other girl) were very friendly and helpful during our check-in process. The hotel itself was very clean and accommodating. It is small and right next to the busy interstate. It is probably not so good location for light sleepers. The inside rooms are facing each other and are noisy because of the air conditioners located... More

I travel a lot for business and spend way too many nights every year in a hotel. I travel frequently to San Diego and always stay at this property. The recent renovation has been a big improvement. The location is great; the staff are outstanding and will go out of their way to fix any concerns. The bed and the... More

Its in a great location. The common areas on the first level were nice. We did not try the restaurant or bar but those looked nice as well. The gym was adequate for travel. Our room was ok at best. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The shower pressure was terrible, the bathroom door would not stay shut, and the... More

This is not the Ritz so the 5 star review is based on this hotel category. It’s a nice updated hotel near the highway, very close to the stadium. It’s 15 minutes away from the zoo and downtown. Parking lot is sufficient and there is also a garage parking. The hotel was full during our stay, so the garage was... More

First the good: the place is right next to a freeway and getting to the aero port, casino and attractions was easy. Parking is free and easy too, rooms are as would be expected from a holiday inn - spacious, clean etc... After getting a great deal on Hotwire and then finding out the name of the hotel, I called...

This is a average Holiday Inn. It claims to be in Mission Valley it is not. That is the only real complaint I have for this place. Otherwise a decent hotel.
