This hotel is very competitively priced compared with others in the area. It is clean and the staff is very friendly. Breakfast is more than adequate, and the dining area roomy - never had to wait for a table. The only minor negatives: The hotel elevators are painfully slow. Although many sites of interest are within walking distance, the uphill... more

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Downtown for 2 nights back in November last year. We had really splurged with the rest of the hotels during our trip (Beverly hills & Newport Beach) so compromised with a more basic hotel in San Diego. The location of the hotel is good - a short walk away from Gaslamp and it... more

The hotel is very comfortable, the staff very friendly and the ambiance good. Rooms are very well maintained, complimentary breakfast more than adequate, Pizza point just opposite. Added attractions is the happy hour and the cookies and milk before you retire for the night. The hotel is walkable from the convention centre, gas lamp district and the mall. Thus the... more

We recently had the opportunity to spend a week at the Holiday Inn Express Downtownt upon the occasion of our son's wedding. We were very pleased with our accommodations and the service. The girls at the front desk were most helpful. Great, expanded breakfast! The management was very attentive to our special needs as my husband is a paraplegic. The... more

Hotel itself was not that far from downtown - around 15mins walk to Broadway St. there's a slight uphill if you're walking back to the hotel, so be prepared. The hotel lobby was nice and cozy, our check in took some time though (they were having printing problems at the time). Our room though was at the very end of... more

Lets start with the good. This hotel is newly renovated. Nice lobby, friendly and helpful staff. The room itself is spacious. Plenty of room to move around. The beds and pillows are comfortable. Our room had a nice balcony view of the pool, and we could see the ocean between some buildings. The room was clean. Breakfast was good, consistently... more

We stayed for two days (wish it had been longer) and had a lovely stay. The staff was welcoming and funny. The location is excellent for walking around the Gas Lamp area. The rooms were great, quite a good size, although the bathroom was tiny! Comfortable beds. What more can one ask for? That is besides the cookies in the... more

Holiday Inn Express had great service, clean rooms and comfortable bed. We've stayed there before. This time one of the elevators broke, but not much hassle to that. The breakfast needs more fruit. The in-room internet worked about 10 minutes then shut down. It became so annoying I went to the lobby and did the work there. Again, the behind... more

This was a really nice hotel. We had a group of people, we saw many of the hotel rooms. They were all nice. The breakfast was not bad...lost of selection. Parking was $16 a day but worth itb/c you need a car to see all the sites!!! There is still a pool, we never had time to use it but... more
