  • Great location – on the water.
  • $22 for parking makes any downtown hotel a ripoff.

“This is a good place to stay for business travelers, or for anyone taking the train into the city. The location is great, but if you don't need to be downtown, there are lots of nice areas of San Diego where you will get more for your money.”

  • Too noisy. Excessive parking charge, $22/day.

“Rooms on the back side of hotel are too noisy due to freight train and trolly traffic until after midnight. Parking fee of $22/day is excessive.”

  • Nothing really.
  • We asked for a hotel in the Gaslamp quarter, it wasn't in the gaslamp quarter.

“The hotel staff was not friendly, the beds were uncomfortable and the hotel was not in the area we expected it to be.”

  • The location.
  • Room was .disgusting.

“The hotel is located in a good area buses and trolly station were at walking distance (1 block away) and so was the downtown mall. The night life by the hotel was also awesome, everything was very close. However, the hotel was disappointing. When we checked-in the individual was friendly and gave us our room. However, when we arrived to our room it had not been clean, the beds where not done. There was food all over the room and most importantly and more disturbing the beds had blood stains. We called front desk to switch mores but they said that no other rooms where available and that housekeeping was just going to go clean up. It was a very discussing experience; I would have cancelled my reservation if it had not already been charged to my account. I would not recommend this hotel to any of my business partners or family/friends. What was more disappointing was that the hotel did not even accommodate or suggestion on moving to another room.”

  • wonderful location. Close to bay restuarants and attractions
  • The decor is outdated, very noisy and staff could be a bit more accomodating

“The outside of the hotel is old and unattractive. Not what I was expecting from a Holiday Inn. We had a room on the 9th floor facing the cityscape which is beautiful at night. However it has to be the noisiest place I have ever stayed. The sound from the train station (across the street) and the outbound airplane was more than I could tolerate. For a 3-star hotel it has a lot to improve on. We travel a lot (at least 20 hotel stays a year) and this was the worst 3-star I have stayed in. The $22/night parking is a little expensive but at least I was prepared for that. Perhaps this place would work well for a business traveler that spends most of the time out of the room. The noise does die down around 10 PM though.”

  • Great view of the Bay, Free Wi-FI.
  • Room decor was a bit sparse. No in room fridge.

“This hotel is an older property, but has been generally been well maintained. Rooms are located in three adjacent towers, 2 of which are high rise. The jewel of the property are the bay view rooms with balconies. At check in I was upgraded to bay view from the standard city view based on my Priority Club participation. The bay view balcony made this stay a highlight of my 12 day trip.”

  • Great hotel, great location, and excellent price!
  • Nothing.

“I have never stayed in a Holiday Inn before and this was the first. The beds were very comfortable and offerred soft and hard pillows. Great resutrants on the premises. Would highly recommend this hotel when visiting downtown San Diego.”

  • the view in the room and the pillows
  • the beds were not good

“Good access to down town and walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful. The daily parking fee was very expensive.”

  • Location was great and price wasn't too bad.
  • The room accommodations.

“When we arrived they accommodated us in a room that had only a sofa bed! I couldn't even believe hotels did this. The furniture was outdated but the bathroom was modern. It was a weird combination. They moved us the next day but I can't even believe that anyone would want to be in a room with a sofa bed no matter how much money you save. I will never stay here again and it is definitely not a 3 star hotel. The only 3 star about it was the location.”

  • I liked the friendly environment which
    I experience as soon as
    I walked up to the hotel.

“I loved my stay. I would stay there again in a heartbeat! I seemed like a 4 star hotel not a 3 star!”

  • The hotel was in a really great location, so I would recommend for that reason.
  • We assumed that we would have one king bed or 2 queen, but we got 2 small beds so we couldn't even sleep together, and I mean small.

“The hotel itself is very nice and in a great location, but as far as booking through Priceline they need to make sure that they book automatically for a king bed or 2 queen beds, because it was ridiculous and the beds were not comfortable at all and my husband is disabled from a fall, so his back was in so much pain that we couldn't do anything, because he had such a hard time sleeping, and we couldn't change rooms, because there was nothing available, the hotel was completely booked. Like I said location and staff really great, but the beds, not great.”

  • The view was great
  • The parking $22 a day is very bad. And the proximity to necessity.

“Great hotel, Bay view was spectacular. The $22/ day parking fee is ridiculous and mandatory as there is no other parking for a long distance. The rooms are beginning to look outdated. The staff is nice and I had a great time.”
