Good Stay
Good hotel. Comfortable beds. Excellent location not far from the Gaslamp. Good breakfast and lots of parking spots. Downside is the carpet, particularly in the hallways. Carpet looks like its been there since the 80s. Aside from that, good stay.

Weekend Trip
The hotel is in a great location. It’s a bit outdated. Our room was not cleaned very well, found garbage by the side of the bed and the carpet didn’t look like it had been vacuumed, there were some hairs in the shower. The beds were comfortable, sheets were clean, you could start hearing the street noise fairly early in the morning.

My staying in Holiday Inn downtown San Diego
The hotel is nice, and my room was good, but we couldn't fully open the door because they had placed a door stopper, which made it difficult to enter. The bathroom was okay, but they need to renovate the corridor, as it looked old. The hotel facilities were decent. Breakfast was very good. I must mention the hotel front desk – Mira is so adorable and kind. She is always smiling and very friendly.
