The hotel has always been the place we stay when visiting San Diego. However, this visit we noticed the sort of run down motel in front of Holiday Inn had police talking to people at that motel. Just concerned as area just felt less safe.

Pros and cons

We definitely overall enjoyed our stay. The lounging areas outside by the pool with the fire pits and tvs was nice. Not that we got to experience it because we had the littles with us, but definitely would bring us back for a childless trip. They were understaffed one of our nights, we called for more pillows and the man at the front told us he can’t leave until his shift was over because he was the only one there, but would bring them when the next person came for their shift. He never came with pillows. Not sure how a whole hotel can run with one person on a Friday night. If you’re looking for comfortable bed this also isn’t the place. But you take your pros with cons and I would say we would stay again. Wish they had a free late check out though.

Clean hotel with an expensive parking fee!

Our stay was great. The hotel was very clean. We really appreciated that!! The only reason I wouldn’t give this hotel 5 stars is because we had to pay $72 for 3 nights parking in their normal parking lot. A ridiculously expensive fee to just park in a parking lot.

Was a nice hotel for the price. I would have given it a 5 but a couple of items stopped me. Taste of breakfast options, Hotel in front had a lot of activity, water shut off from 10p-2a, still waiting for duplicate charges to be cleared, lingering smoke smell in our room (supposed to be non smoking hotel), and none of the usb ports in room worked (loose). I took several photos of room upon arrival that I could share as well.

Can’t trust housekeeping

When housekeeping came to clean our room after the first nights stay they removed a bag that I had pack with some snacks, drinks and medication. As soon as we returned to our hotel for the day I alerted the manager who was of no help. Next day the house keeper was supposedly questioned and did not confirm or deny removing the bag which supposedly was thrown out for no explainable reason.
