“Good value and convenient location”

We had stayed at this property several years ago. It seems to have been recently updated and everything was in really good shape. The Elephant and Castle Restaurant was a pleasant surprise. We hardly ever eat at hotel restaurants, but we ate there twice. Location is convenient to the things we like to do.

“Will definitely use this hotel again”

This was a very nice hotel. Get a bay view room to enjoy the spectacular view during the day and at night. Lots of things are in walking distance (the Gaslamp District, for example) while Balboa Park is a short cab ride away. The room was clean and, after a minor problem at the beginning, everything was super. The staff was attentive (though there should be more people working the desk at peak times) and very courteous. I cannot say enough about them. The free airport shuttle is a big bonus.

“We have stayed before and will stay again.”

Everyone was very friendly. Our requests were taken care of quickly. The room was clean and the view fantastic. Quiet, except for the airport, but we expected that.

“Wish I was still There!”

Wonderful Vacation! Hotel has a great location. Lots of area attractions within walking distance from Hotel. Great to have shuttle service to the San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park and Sea Port Village. Sea World is 15 minutes away from Hotel. The staff offered great customer service. The room was clean, comfortable and had been updated. Don't have to travel far for great dining. Upgrade to the bay room view, so worth it to enjoy the sunset over the San Diego Bay. Already planning next years vacation at Holiday Inn on the Bay.

“One of San Diego's Finest for the $$$”

This was our second stay at the hotel. The room rate was much more reasonable than many others in the area. It is so convenient to many tourist attractions. The club/restaurant downstairs is also convenient and has nightly Happy Hours. I will definitely stay here again.

“Perfect Location”

This hotel is in the absolute best location. It is within walking distance of downtown shopping and restaurants. It is a short cab ride from many San Diego attractions. The only time we needed to rent a car was for our trip to La Jolla and the Wild Animal Park. Also a great view of the Bay and easy access to the ferry to Coronado. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
