“Great View Above the 6th Floor (Bayside)”

Great room -- I didn't feel it was small like other people have stated. Nice TV, HBO, Free WiFi with passcode provided by front desk that you can browse in room. The bathrooms were clean and new and the carpets were very clean. The view was great above the sixth floor and higher in the south tower but if you go lower than that, your view is obscured by the four floors in the tower facing the road and the rest of the bay. I lost a pen because I dropped it on the patio of the balcony and it rolled off the balcony. From then on, I was a little frightened to go on the balcony because there was no bumpers for the guardrails to keep other things from rolling off. The wind was pretty fierce this time of year too but that is GREAT for the WONDERFUL sailboat races that I got to enjoy from my bayside view. The concierge desk was always friendly and helpful each time I visited them and the shuttle driver was also friendly.

Area recommendations
This is a good neighborhood -- I felt generally safe but there were about 3-5 homeless people each mile that you walked. It was obvious there were many individuals whom the poor economy has affected in this neighborhood. I ran at night and felt comfortable as long as I kept my eyes open. There were not many national brand stores or places to buy durable goods in the immediate area but rather, had a concentration of family run stores for food and crafts. Just a drug store or quick mart would have been great to have seen in the area so I could get a toothbrush!

“Good choice for bayside hotel”

This Holiday Inn is showing its age a bit, but is a great location and price. Easy walking distance to all San Diego Bay activities.

“Decent place”

Pretty good place. Update room in older hotel. One elevator out of service and had to wait longer than normal for a lift.

“Not Impressed”

Hotel room needs to be remodeled and cleaned up. Carpet is very old and nasty looking. Holiday Inn needs to take a look at these rooms, The price is not what you would pay at motel 6.

“Bring ear plugs!”

We thought the location was going to be really great; across the street from the maritime museum. Didn't know a 'train' would be screaming "ALL" night and airplanes practically landing in your room. Bring a ear plugs!!! Could not sleep a wink until I got ear plugs. That helped. Otherwise, hotel was very nice and the staff very kind and courteous. I would recommend staying there if your hard of hearing.

Area recommendations
I would recommend the Coronado Island if you want peace and quiet.

“Would go back”

The hotel is a little dated, but clean. Location is convenient to area attractions and the free shuttle service was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Amtrak could get noisy at night but never woke us up after we were asleep. Our room had the oddest shaped bathroom and the water pressure was extremely low, a trickle in the sink, but I would stay at this hotel again and recommend it to others.

Area recommendations
One area did not stand out, liked something about all of them.
Must see
A trip to the USS Midway is a must. It was a fabulous tour and museum.

“It has the view...!”

This place was a last minute alternative to others. It's not necessarily the most convenient location from the access point, however it does have the view, especially if you can get the room ocean view. Pricing was almost a half of those higher end hotels nearby. It's not a bad alternative if you simply need a place to sleep.

“Mediocre at Best”

The hotel showed age in the decor and general condition of the building. The location was good, but lacked a quality choice of offsite breakfast locations. The onsite restaurant and breakfast kiosk had very poor quality coffee. For the price, certainly needed a free continental breakfast choice; that would help.

Area recommendations
I would recommend staying more "directly" downtown, or in the "Old Town Area" This location was a bit to far north of the downtown and away from most places of interest. AVOID the PediCabs as the are outrageously expensive.

“Great location & value but can be noisy”

Wonderful hotel in a great location in the harbor facing the USS Midway & the Maritime Historic ships. Nice restaurants right there & easy access to highways & scenic routes if driving. One word of caution: if your room faces the city, you will hear the train that runs a block or 2 behind the hotel. The whistle blows at each intersection through the town until pretty late at night.

Area recommendations
Everything the town has to offer. Standouts were The Old Town, Cabrillo Monument & military cemeteries , Balboa Park, Point Loma for seal watching.
