We stay in a lot of Holiday Inn Express hotels and most often enjoy the experience. This was the worst Holiday Inn Express ever! It's location is horrible. There are no family restaurants or grocery stores nearby. It is not near any of the things you would want to see in San Diego. It's located next to a VERY loud... more

A hotel is a place for sleeping and getting washed up. My wife and I were able to do neither at this one. It is next to a bar and the patrons of said bar were outside most of the night making noise. So forget about sleeping. As for getting washed up, there was no cold water. Apparently, the hot... more

I stayed at this hotel on business for 2 days in September of 2009. I checked out and got what I thought was my final bill but when the bill posted to my priority club account I was over charged 6.00 dollars for water that I never drank. I was given 2 bottles of water when I checked in as... more

We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express over Labor Day weekend. The first night we had the gas card promotion- 109 dollars for the room with a 25 dollar gift card for a national gas chain. However, the gas cards were locked up in the managers office and the clerk was unable to retrieve it. She kept telling us that... more

As far as Holiday Inn Expresses go, and we've stayed at a lot across the country, this location not only is the most expensive, but is the lowest quality we've experienced. It's better than a Motel 6, but would have been disappointed if we'd payed the going online rate rather than using rewards points. More of a $60/night hotel than... more

I've stayed at this location several times and I have been very impressed with the staff, cleanliness of the rooms and the overall appearance of this hotel. On each occasion my room has been immaculate, and I have always had enough towels. This stay was particularly memorable; I had the misfortune to loose my purse. The Front Desk attendant Tanaja... more

I have to say that I have stayed here many times and it is always a wonderful experience! They have done a lot of remolding and now they have free guest laundry and a gym. The front desk staff are always a delight. Tanaja, Cris and Jon were great! The general manager (Mark) was also a great help and was... more

The only reason I didn't cancel my 5 night stay right off was because it got booked with the first night prepaid. I only stayed the one night, and went to the Gaslamp area the rest of the week, even though I had to drive to El Cajon it was well worth it. This hotel is in a terrible area... more

We wanted a hotel that was close to downtown S.D, the zoo and balboa park. there was a convention intown so most of the hotel prices at hotel circle were through the roof (and this was m-th) so we found this place and I got a rate of $109... more
