I had a mixed experience during my stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Diego. On one hand, the hotel was modern and clean, with spacious rooms and great water pressure in the shower. On the other hand, I faced issues with security and service that left me feeling uneasy and unvalued as a guest. The combination of these pros and cons leads me to rate my stay a 5.

Rooms

My room was spacious and modern, and I appreciated the cleanliness. However, I encountered issues such as the shower temperature being inconsistent and the bathroom door not staying open. Overall, it had its comforts but also several drawbacks.

I found the initial check-in to be friendly, but subsequent interactions with staff were less than impressive. When I raised my concerns about security and service, I didn't receive the attention or apologies that I expected.

The location was somewhat tricky to access but reasonably close to attractions. Still, the road noise was a downside as it affected the overall comfort of my stay.

I had a pleasant stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in San Diego. The location was great, and the hotel offered an excellent breakfast that saved me time and money. However, I did have some issues with noise in the morning and a few minor cleanliness concerns in my room.

Rooms

The room was mostly clean and comfortable, although the dresser looked old and beaten up, which was a bit off-putting. I appreciated that the hotel required a room key to access the building from the parking lot for added security.

My stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites San Diego - Mission Valley was a mix of highs and lows. While the updated facilities and clean rooms were enjoyable, I experienced several issues, especially with the breakfast seating and room key malfunctions that hampered my overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the friendly staff provided a warm welcome.

The rooms were clean and updated, which I appreciated. However, I was disappointed that the suite I received did not have the two TVs that were promised, and the malfunctioning room keys created some significant inconvenience.

The hotel's location is quite convenient, with easy access to various attractions in San Diego. Being off the main road adds a nice touch of tranquility away from street noise.
Dining

The breakfast offerings had a decent variety of cold options and a warm cinnamon roll I enjoyed. However, the seating was insufficient for such a busy weekend, and improvements could be made to enhance the dining experience.
Facilities

The hotel had a nice pool area, and the common spaces were clean, but the breakfast area was overcrowded, limiting access to a comfortable dining environment.

The hotel is ideally located on Hotel Circle, making it easy to reach all the major sites in San Diego in 15 minutes or less.
Dining

I really enjoyed the breakfast options, especially the warm cinnamon buns and hot offerings like sausages and omelets. The only downside was that it didn't change much over the days.

The pool and hot tub were nice, although the pool was a bit warm for my liking. The parking fee of $18 per day is something to consider.
