Holiday Inn Express - Downtown San Diego    

I have never had such a pleasant stay while on vacation. Midge Solis was exceptional in making sure our visit to San Diego and accommodations were top rate.

we enjoyed every aspect of this hotel.

Staff was excellent, very helpful!. Can't go wrong with free breakfast. Computer usage and printing of documents was free and hasslefree. Another bonus! Parking wasn't free, but it was half of what I'm used to paying.

Bathroom was teeny tiny. Just big enough for one person. Lack of ventilation fan was disconcerting. Elevators were SLOOOOWWWWW. Annoyingly slow. To make matters worse, there is no convenient stairwell that isn't alarmed so when you are on the 2nd floor, there is no other option to go down a floor without waiting for the elevator. LAME.

Staff were very friendly & helpful. Also the hotel was very clean, room were comfortable. Loved the free Internet.

Car parking should of been free for guest staying at the hotel. Even thou I did appreciate the discount rates for guest.

I liked the fact that it was a city-feeling hotel, old school with modern touches. The hotel was on the hilly part of downtown San Diego, overlooking the City itself with a distant view of the Harbor; along with a walkway extending outward with table and chairs for outside sitting to catch the incredible breeze. I liked the personal touch of a "sail boat" greeting card, which everyone signed, placed in the hotel room.

The location was outside downtown San Diego, on a hill that was very steep (not good for older/eldery individuals), also in an area that was a bit downtrotten. However, this was part of its charm as well. Best for business travelers and people passing through.

The staff took care of us when we checked in past midnight!

The first room key were given lead us to a room where someone was already staying!

The hotel was close to everything and the staff were really friendly and helpful. Trish should get a mention. Nick was great on our final night there too but there were so many others.

I can't say anything nasty here

Good location and easy to access. The shuttle service to the airport and zoo were a bonus and great to have.

I liked that the hotel didn't look at me weird when me and my partner asked for a one bed room!

I didn't like to have to pay for parking that should be covered in the hotel room

happy hour was a welcome bonus...we were told location not right where Gas Town was but parking was not an issue at all between there, hotel and Midway exhibit...easy to get around...

breakfast nook a little too busy and crowded but adequate

We liked Nick at the front desk -- He was full of energy and information. Big assest to the operation

Ice machine way way down the long hall

Staff is really friendly and helpful to get you around the town.

No free parking.

The hotel was located near the Gaslamp Quarter which was the main reason for staying there. The walk to and from was short and very enjoyable.

The room was located on the street side and a bit noisy from city traffic. But the room was excellent and clean.

Location, clean, good staff

Rooms on first level receive a lot of street noise in the morning, although nothing to bad

Everything went smoothly from reservation, finding the hotel, getting checked in, etc. No surprises.

You didn't have a bottle opener!

Location was good, walking distance from the Gaslamp district.

Windows let a lot of noise in from outside, including voices. Bathroom was worn out. The hotel included a charge of $1 in my bill for usage of safe in my room, which had not happened. They removed it after my request, but just the fact they've done without asking is not a practice you'd expect from someone serious.

Close to the activities we came to San Diego to see. Thank you.

Too much noise throughout the night.

Location

Parking cost 16 usd per day

We went to the Zoo & the Water Park and everything went well + the free transportation was nice.

Nothing

service and continental breakfast. pancake maker!!!!

The staff is oustanding and always willing to help. The hotel is clean and comfortable. The courtesy van to pick up and return to the airport is a plus. The hotel's location for whatever you want to do in San Diego is perfect, especially for Balboa Park.

Nothing.

The room was just right, the staff support was excellent and very polite and professional - very helpful in many ways. Beds were very comfortable.

Wish a microwave was available in room - other than that, no concerns.

The happy hour and the staff couldn't do enought to tell you about San Diego attractions Staff member Jenafer very helpfully .

Pay to hire the safe in your room per night and all the extra taxes on every day.

This was my 18th hotel in 30 days and was the best. The gaslight district is a short walk and there is heaps to do in the area. The staff went out of there way to advise on things to do. Special pat on the back to Jen who obviously takes much pride in the hotel, doing her job well and making sure all visitors are happy. The taxi stand is at the hotel. There was always a cab there if it was needed. Complimentary shuttle is also available at all times.

There was nothing I didn't like. It was a great stay.

Breakfast was great

Staff was not friendly. I asked if they would mail my already stamped postcards, they said no. I asked for cart to bring luggage up from garage, they said we have none available. We paid $16 to park where we had to walk up with luggage over and over.

The staff were top notch.
