Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Oct 19, 2009 by Tony from Rancho Cucamonga,CA

Overall Rating: 7

• 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.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Oct 17, 2009 by Jim from Port Orchard,WA

Overall Rating: 3

• 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.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Sep 17, 2009 by Melissa from San Diego,CA

Overall Rating: 7

• 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.”

Tahoe Timber Trails Association Inc
Sep 7, 2009 by d from citrus heights

Overall Rating: 1

• Some of the members were so nice.
• The board is a group of people only stand up for their friends not what is true and right.

“My parents bought into TTT 8 or 9 years ago as a place that our family could go to have fun and get away from city life. This summer my husband and 3 kids went there to enjoy the summer. I work as a temporary employee for TTT so we could remain there. When we were told, I had to be a member to remain there, my parents and I did the paperwork, background check and paid the fees. I was denied membership because the neighbor next site over started drama and false issues with us. The board member took the neighbor's side, not even investigating to see if the complaints were even true.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Sep 3, 2009 by Robert Ibarra from San Jos,CA

Overall Rating: 2

• 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.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Aug 31, 2009 by Shirley from Bluffton,SC

Overall Rating: 5

• 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.”

Knott's Soak City USA

Alcatraz
Aug 16, 2009 by lorna from edinburgh

Overall Rating: 9

• The personal insight given by ex prisoners and guards.
• Wish we had more time!

“I recently took the nighttime tour of Alcatraz and found it a fantastic place to visit. An audio tour given by ex inmates and prisoners gives you an amazing insight into life on Alcatraz, while individual talks throughout the evening allow you to pick and choose what most interests you. We were amazed by Alcatraz's history as a military fortress, as well as home to many children and families of the prison guards. With fewer numbers of people allowed on the night tour, we had plenty of time and space to explore the island, and I would highly recommend booking early to get on this tour. We spent 2 hours on the island, and would still go back to see more. An excellent tour!”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Aug 7, 2009 by Kevin from Novi,MI

Overall Rating: 10

• 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.”

Overall Rating: 10

• 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.”

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park
Aug 6, 2009 by dean from suisun city, ca.

Overall Rating: 9

• Well secured and patrol by police agency - GREAT sites.
• Some time the cow smell.

“A great place to take friends or/family for day use and daily camping (tent or motor home). hook up's and dry camping. If you need to shop for anything you are close to town for just about anything.”

Children's Pool Beach
Aug 4, 2009 by Grace from Phoenix

Overall Rating: 3

• Sea life in their natural habitat.
• Activists who don't want people there.

“We were very excited about going to this spot. Unfortunately, the experience was spoiled by a women yelling comments designed to get people to leave. Obviously a wacko activist, totally unfriendly and rude. Don't go.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Aug 4, 2009 by Lisa from Reno,NV

Overall Rating: 6

• 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.”

Cinema 6 Theatre
Aug 2, 2009 by E from Twentynine Palms

Overall Rating: 1

• No crowds since its a not a good theater.
• Everything else.

“I went there recently and would not return. The theater smelled, and at the climax of the film with about 20 minutes left the projector malfunctioned and the staff was ill equipped to fix it. Upon request to repair and fix the film in order to view the rest of the movie 30 minutes had elapsed and when the film finally continued they had skipped 10 minutes of the movie and hence ruining the entire ending and movie. Upon request for reimbursement the manager was no where to be found and reimbursement was not an option, only a rain check to view another movie at their horrible establishment.”

Koa Kampground
Aug 1, 2009 by Linda from Orange County

Overall Rating: 8

• Beautiful campsites in the forest by the creek.
• A bit pricey.

“Nice facilities, beautiful campsites, but a bit tricky to get into for larger motorhomes. At least once you get parked the view with the surrounding trees is wonderful, lots of shade. I like the pool, small but clean and the restrooms and showers were kept spotless our entire stay. We got to bring our Cocker Spaniel - but they said 'he was just like a person' so they charged us $5 a night for him. It's ok, he's worth it. There were some great walks from the campground down to the river and our campsite overlooked a creek that was beautiful too. We were glad we made reservations early because they were very busy, I guess it's pretty popular in July. Next time we are going in June cause they said it was the best time besides September. I can't wait to go back.”

Woodward Reservoir Regional Park

Overall Rating: 5

• Monday through Thursday is so nice.
• Fights and people looking to cause trouble.

“During the week this is a really nice place to camp. I give it a 9 for week days and a 0 for weekends. Weekends bring trouble, fights and rude people. Avoid weekends if you can. My family went for 5 days and T-Fri were just fine. But Friday night at 10:30 is when 8 cars pulled up beside us and crowded into a tiny little area next to us. Now if you are like my family, and follow rules, there are only 8 people allowed per camp site. But not everyone follows the rules. I know it's not the staffs fault that people are stupid. But I wish the staff would enforce the rules of quiet time from 10:00 pm to 6:00 am. Our neighbors blasted their music until 4:00 am! Again avoid weekends at all cost.”

American River Raft Rentals
Jul 24, 2009 by Lilly from San Jose

Overall Rating: 1

• Fun with large group.
• Bad customer service.

“Worse customer service ever. We drove there from San Jose in a large group and the staff was inconsiderate. We were in line but late a couple of minutes before they closed the line for rentals and couldn't make any exceptions.”

Canyon Creek Resort
Jul 23, 2009 by Katherine Oriarte from American canyon

Overall Rating: 8

• Its fun exciting.
• Just be aware the toilets don't work sometimes.

“I loved winters. The thing is, my family/friends and I go there every year as our little camping trip I always do karaoke and last year 2008 I won 1st place. The 1st problem I have there is that some of the people there are snotty, rude and very noisy and the 2nd problem I have is that every year we go there there's always something wrong with the toilets, yeah I know its disgusting forever.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
Jul 21, 2009 by Alofa from Concord,CA

Overall Rating: 3

• 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.”

Double Decker Lanes

• I like the fun atmosphere and the manager, was great!
• The old lady bartender is the worst I have ever seen.

“The old lady bartender, don't know if she in overworked and underpaid or what but she is definitely not a nice person and should not be dealing with the public, ever! Its good that she doesn't work every night. There is a nice man who bar tends there and another pleasant younger woman. Both of these employees seem to enjoy and know there job a lot better.”

• The camping was very quite.
• Nothing negative yet.

Morro Dunes
Jul 8, 2009 by Grace from Bakersfield, CA

Overall Rating: 10

• Short walk to the beach.
• Can sometimes become crowed in the summer.

“Its nice to camp at a place with warm showers to clean off the sand. Its also nice that you wash your clothes if you are staying for a couple of days. You can hear and smell the beach at all times. Best place to stay in Moro Bay.”

Scripps Memorial Hospital & Medical Research Center
Jun 18, 2009 by Mary from South Holland IL

Overall Rating: 1

• The outcome was fine, as were the Managing Directors.
• Just about everything else.

“Scripps Mercy Hospital, Hillcrest district in San Diego is the worst. You would do well to rid yourself of this abomination. The ER is filthy, street people are sleeping on gurneys, the washrooms are filthy, I encountered several instances of nursing care that bordered on the illegal, and no one seems to give a hoot. By a ER tech to my daughter: We don't allow people to stay overnight in the ER. Your mother can call you when her procedure is finished and you can come and pick her up. Never mind that I am not from San Diego and am there on vacation (some vacation, to encounter this lovely institution!) I have never, in my 68 years, been to such a charade of a hospital.”

• Knowing the manager would be off soon.

“I took my little girl bowling on a Saturday night. We were put on a waiting list by the manager, and then she call other and tells her that if she wanted to bowl to come on down and she would put her at the top of the list, excuse me? People are waiting actually paying customers.”

Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay

Overall Rating: 7

• 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.”

• Its close to home.
• I don't like how on the holidays is so packed.

“I have been coming to this place ever since I was a little girl. We would have so much fun, we would bring our boat and jet skis and BBQ. They also had showers and bathrooms that are walking distance. To this day I still go to this place with my family and friends.”

Long Beach Memorial Medical Center

Jalama Beach Park
Apr 30, 2009 by Gina from Torrance, CA

Overall Rating: 5

• Beautiful beach.
• Extremely windy and lack of privacy for tent campers.

“Great beach but the tent camping was not comfortable. The spots were too close together and defeat the purpose of wanting to get away from it all when your camping neighbor was about 10 feet away. The biggest problem was the wind - it was much worse than we thought and made it impossible to enjoy the bonfire that we enjoy.”

Overall Rating: 8

• 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.”

• It was right on the bay with a fantastic sea food restaurant right across the street.
• At night trains at the nearby train station would blow their horns - waking me up every now and then.

“The hotel a nice mid-century modern complex with a great view of the Bay on one side and a view of the city on the other. Room service was prompt and convenient.”

• Beautiful rooms, excellent location, amazing views of the harbor!
• Only showers, no bath tubs.

“This room was wonderful, it was beautifully done and the bath room felt like a spa experience. The location and view from the hotel were amazing. We were in a safe neighborhood within walking distance of great restaurants and nightlife. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.”

Kelly'S Beach
Mar 18, 2009 by Tallulah from Riverside

Overall Rating: 4

• Location and setting.
• Disgusting mens toilet and shower area.

“The men's toilet and shower area is disgusting! I have traveled to Kelly's Beach for 7 years with a large group of friends. And every single year I must deal with the smelliest, dirtiest place I've had to visit. This space should be the number one priority of the campground, and for whatever reason (but ignorance) has it always disappointed me. How hard is it to maintain a bathroom? Some paint, bleach, and a garden hose should do the trick, but they don't get it.”

Overall Rating: 10

• Everything was great!

“The Holyland Exhibition is a wonderful place for anyone who might be interested in the Bible history and lands. The tours are incredibly informative and are given from a neutral perspective! it is not supported by any religious organizations whatsoever!”

Silent Valley Club Inc
Mar 16, 2009 by Andi from Riverside

Overall Rating: 10

• Easy to get to; lots to do; safe for the children; and everyone treats each other like family.
• I don't like that you can't have a campfire, but this is minor compared to the positives.

“I have never had anything but great experiences with the staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. This is a well staffed and well maintained campground with so much to do. Although this is a campground and not a hospital, they still try to be prepared to assist everyone from the children with bee stings to the elderly patrons with life threatening issues. They have someone available 24/7 at the ranger/first aid station in case of an emergency which is a lot more than many campgrounds out there. (Of course they watch TV, but not because they are neglecting their duty - anyone stuck in a little building for hours on end would do the same.) In addition to that, other Rangers are constantly making rounds. It's like a mountaintop paradise with little more than a city drive. It's definitely worth a look!”
