1. Not a bad hotel, nice enough rooms but the location was a bit dodgy, you had to walk past the homeless hang-out or walk quite a long way round to avoid it.

"OK.......But not in a great location " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/21/2011 Vote

2. The onsite restaurant is small, very pricey, and we avoided eating there and went to other nearby affordable food places for meals.

"A little above average experience, probably would stay again if at same reduced nightly rate " Read full review on TripAdvisor 9/5/2010 Vote

3. So to wrap up: AVOID at all costs.

"AVOID! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 10/29/2009 Vote

4. AND, the premise has got a spectacular view of the San Diego Bay so it makes up all the difference (if you have a room facing the Bay) for those of you who wish to avoid all the downtown bustling and hustling.

"A very pleasant surprise... Holiday Inn San Diego Downtown " Read full review on TripAdvisor 7/28/2009 Vote

5. The parking fee is pretty lame, about $14/night, but you can easily park across the street on 2nd ave, right off of the freeway to avoid that.

6. Others also tried to avoid providing this service, though no one was as rude about it as he was.
