The hotel has always been the place we stay when visiting San Diego. However, this visit we noticed the sort of run down motel in front of Holiday Inn had police talking to people at that motel. Just concerned as area just felt less safe.

Only reason I give it a 4 out of 5 is because the television does not have many options and the control kept getting stuck. The televisions need to be upgraded so that one can link their phones to their Netflix or Hulu streaming account. I would definitely stay here again.

The property was well kept and had great amenities inside. It was a little odd outside as there was what seems to be a long term rental scenario in front of the hotel.
