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.

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.
