1. We did have a rental car (parking somewhat steep at $17/night but convenient to not find a lot) and the hotel had very convenient access to the I-5 highway (again, easily viewable from our hotel room, although we didn't have highway noise).

"Enjoyable stay in a convenient location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/7/2012 Vote

2. The highway exit and the San Diego Zoo were close to the hotel as well.

"Happy that we stayed here " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/14/2012 Vote

3. Close to highway, great shuttle service to airport, Balboa park, Sea World and areas within 3 miles.

4. First of all, I must say that the whole area (and not just the hotel itself, which is by the highway) is full of homeless people and shady characters.

5. The pool we never visited, but I noticed it was just by the highway - which didn't seem appealing.

6. Hotel is next to Highway tho but we didnt hear any noise.

"Great hotel for bargain price " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/21/2011 Vote

7. The second downside was the pool, very small and next to the highway so not that relaxing but I really am picking at straws here.

8. Government travel budgets don't allow for the pricey hotels of the San Diego Harbor and Gaslamp Quarter, but while the 'light industrial' location of this hotel (by the Highway 5 bypass) isn't an area I would wander at night, I found the Holiday Inn Downtown to be an simple, perfectly adequate pleasant surprise.

"Perfectly satisfactory hotel in this price range! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/18/2011 Vote

9. I was concerned about noise but we never got any humming from the highway.

"Nicely renovated, at the foot of the freeway - access to everything.. " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/27/2010 Vote
