Good Stay
Good hotel. Comfortable beds. Excellent location not far from the Gaslamp. Good breakfast and lots of parking spots. Downside is the carpet, particularly in the hallways. Carpet looks like its been there since the 80s. Aside from that, good stay.

My staying in Holiday Inn downtown San Diego
The hotel is nice, and my room was good, but we couldn't fully open the door because they had placed a door stopper, which made it difficult to enter. The bathroom was okay, but they need to renovate the corridor, as it looked old. The hotel facilities were decent. Breakfast was very good. I must mention the hotel front desk – Mira is so adorable and kind. She is always smiling and very friendly.

Great location between Gastown and Balboa Park. There is free overnight street parking. I wish there were real cutlery and plates to be really eco-friendly. Service was good.
