I would not stay again. Before booking I called the hotel and asked about roll away bed availability (family of 4 with older children) and was assured one would be available. At check in I was told I could not have a roll away in my room type. Our room was in a motel style part of the property (not at all clear from booking site) and did not smell great. We would have checked out, but fortunately staff was able to move us to a larger room in the hotel part of the property. We opted to shorten our stay to just the one night because the property was just not well maintained and we were not offered the larger room more than the first night.

Dear ajdplusthree, Thank you for your constructive feedback. We sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the availability of a roll-away bed for your family, and due to that, you left us early. We regret the frustration and inconvenience this caused and are very grateful for your patience. We will address your concerns appropriately to avoid this type of miscommunication in the future. Although we are glad our team was able to accommodate you with a larger room for the first night, but we understand that it was not a seamless experience overall. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to improve our services and facilities. Thank you once; we value you as our guest, and we hope you will give us another opportunity to regain your trust the next time you are in the area. Warm regards, Rhinna B Meyer | Director of Rooms

Extremely friendly front desk staff. I was placed in the newly renovated tower. Parking felt secure and I felt safe walking across the boulevard to the nearby restaurants. This is my first time staying here but definitely not my last as I’m here once a month. Thank you Holiday Inn for making me feel welcome.

The hotel was clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. They offered excellent dinner recommendations for restaurants we could easily and safely walk to. The hotel offers free shuttle from the airport and one to the cruise terminal, both of which we seamlessly used. Breakfast was terrific.

The main building of the hotel is upgraded/new and rooms are very spacious. The HVAC is new - very silent and effective. We had a wonderful stay over Christmas, 2023. Parking is a bit expensive ($18/day). You need a car to get around San Diego. Staff is very helpful, but the hotel was lacking a few things - such as no water fountain in the lobby to fill up our water bottles (and we were not offered any plastic bottles either). We had to walk to the gym (not too far, but not in the main building) to fill up water. They can also offer some additional good quality tea-bags in the room - the one provided was very low quality.

Very close to airport with a good on-demand shuttle service. Stayed for one night, in a very well-presented room. Was especially pleased, as rather than doing my usual IHG-site booking, I'd used a 3rd party travel agent offering an irresistible rate, and always fear that the hotel will allocate an older room - certainly not the case here. We were warmly welcomed, and when I called at 10.30am to ask if we could drop our bags for the day, was told 'yeah, do come by. In fact, we may have a room you can take, if you want an early check-in". We were able to do that and given a nice room, immaculately clean, with a partial view out over the harbour. We had no car, but walked to local supermarket for supplies, which was ok as it was daylight, but I'd be a little aware walking on the inland streets into the evening. Would certainly stay there again.

Very close to the cruise ship terminal with a free ship transfer. Airport transfers to the close by San Diego airport are also available. The tower rooms are not in the lobby building. it is a short outdoor walk away. Perfect fine hotel.

One night pre cruise stay booked through travel agent. King room with bay view on a bed and breakfast basis. After reading the reviews I contacted the hotel to confirm our room was in the main building and request a top floor. Margaret McKnight was super helpful and answered my emails promptly and with lots of information regarding shuttles, room location etc. When we arrived at San Diego airport I contacted the hotel to arrange pick up and we were on the shuttle in less than 10 mins. The driver was courteous and friendly. Check in was quick and we were allocated a top floor room with a lovely view of the bay. The room was spacious and super clean. Yes it is an older hotel but our room was well maintained and everything worked. We liked the location very much and the shuttle to the cruise port was a bonus. The only negative was the included breakfast in the attached cafe. It was very busy. Our service was extremely slow and the food was just ok. Next time I would book room only and walk across to the boardwalk.

The common areas (putting greens, pool, gassy area, parking lots, etc) were very clean and well-cared for. The room, maybe a little bit dated, but clean and everything worked. Drawers were clean, mini-fridge worked and was quite cold. Both front and patio doors locked and felt very secure. Very well-lit…lots of lights inside and all worked. Well-lit outside, as well….felt safe.
