Ants in our room, no AC in hallways so they smelled bad and were very hot. Gap around doors very wide letting in light and noise. A drug overdose in the elevator. Staff were amazing. Owner should invest in property upkeep.

The stay at the inn was really nice, they have free parking and breakfast compared to the other inns and hotels in the same area. However, this area is unsafe to walk around, me and my partner were followed after a concert walking back to the inn on Hancock St, luckily we were able to run to different and bigger groups of people. Our stay at the inn was great but unfortunately the area is not.

The staff is wonderful and the rooms have been very nicely updated. My kids love the breakfast, sitting is limmited but we were eating early enough that is was not an issue for us. The hotel is in a less desirable are. We never felt unsafe as we were not out super late and they do have really good security at tge hotel. But zi definately would not go out for a stroll in the area.

The room was clean,nice and quiet. The Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. One person in the desk staff ruined this review for all the others. I asked Yazmin if we could have an extra 30 minutes for checkout because we were waiting for a phone call from a medical facility because i was having difficulties from Covid symptoms. She said NO because i was not a member. Yazmin ruined an otherwise good review

Great location for sight seeing but you must take an Uber not walkable, very friendly helpful staff. However there is a dog daycare across the street and they started barking at 6 am . Also kinda scary homeless people in the area which is not at all walkable . But Phil’s BBQ is5 min walk and we’ll worth it amazing food!

Fantastic staff work here. From the very start, they welcomed me and helped me find fun things to do in San Diego. They had a whole packet, gave me restaurant recommendations, it was stellar. The rooms were clean and well kept. I dropped the tongs at the breakfast buffet and someone heard it, appeared at my side and replaced them. We had just come from the Legoland resort and let me tell you, the Holiday Inn Express was leaps and bounds better in every way. The staff were better, rooms were cleaner, and cost was so much lower. Thank you for an amazing trip!
