Stayed four nights starting August 3rd, 2008 and it was our third stay at the Holiday Inn on the Bay. We were looking for downtown San Diego hotels back in June and had trouble finding anything available for that week. We wanted something other than this property because of previous stays but the only availability near the bay was $400... more

The Holiday Inn , San Diego was alright . We were in the South tower on the 11th floor . In our room we had a balcony which had breathtaking views of San Diego bay. The first night was fine . But then we were accused TWICE by a certain member of staff of shouting out over the balcony but... more

The location is perfect, especially for afternoon strolls along the bay. The pool and gym facilities were good. Staff were very pleasant. more

Last minute booking on Priceline. We arrived a little late on the drive from LA. The room was a little smaller than we expected but it was OK, I think we are just a little spoiled. We had a great view from our balcony and the people there were really, really nice. If you are in San Diego that's a... more

My wife and I stayed here last week. Our planned stay was four nights but we left after two. The hotel is one of those aging properties that the management is trying hard to update. They are doing OK renovation- wise. It shows real effort. The real problem is that the hotel is located right by the train station. We... more

We booked our stay based on some of the great reviews but we were terribly disappointed. The air conditioner did not work, the bed was very uncomfortable, no refrigerator, one-cup coffee maker, view of air duct and opposing tower-not the bay as we requested, extremely NOISY! We actually checked out a day early. We would advise not staying in Tower... more

My husband and I live in San Diego and often like to try out some of the local hotels for a night or two. This hotel is at the top of our list of favorites! Clean, ocean-inspired decor definitely captures the feel of the bay, and the views are excellent! The bed is comfortable, as are the pillows. Holiday Inn's... more

I was booked into the Holiday Inn on the Bay through work. I was a bit apprehensive, but it was totally unfounded. The hotel provides airport shuttles, a service which I did not realise but gratefully tagged along other guests of the hotel. The hotel also provides complimentary shuttles to town and the zoo. There is also free wifi, which... more

I was extremely pleased with my stay. I had the prefect view. From my balcony I could see my husband's ship pulling in. What a sight. The room was very clean, large and enjoyed the comfort. I thought the staff was extremely pleasant and made our stay worth-while. more

My husband & I stayed here the night before leaving on a cruise. We used the hotel shuttle from the airport which was convenient once it arrived at the airport. The hotel is the closest to the cruise terminal and we could just walk right across to our ship. We requested the bay view which was great, we watched our... more
