Wonderful
Superb except for late check-in

Pros: Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Staff is very vigilant and helpful. Many eateries and view spots at walking distance.
Cons: Late Check-in. That's the only glitch during my stay. When someone comes after a long flight, one needs to make sure the room gets ready at the designated time. Bookings are made way before the day of arrival, so there is no excuse for the room not ready to be handed over. I arrived at 1 pm, I was told check-in is at 3 pm as mentioned on the website, which i acknowledged and went out to grab a bite. I came back at 2:50 pm and i was still asked to wait in the lobby and was handed over the keys at 3:45 pm. I was literally sleeping and falling while sitting in the lobby as i had an early morning flight. The reason for putting it here and emphasizing over it is that this particular thing matters a lot for travelers. If you are punctual about check-out, you should make sure on-time check-ins, too.

Pros: Great location balancing being nice and quiet and close to central San Diego, breakfast had a lot of options and was great value included in the price.
Cons: Room walls were like paper. We only had someone stay in the room next door for one of the nights but I could hear their entire conversation. The breakfast also came with plastic covering everything and plastic cutlery and no way to recycle so it felt very wasteful and environmentally unfriendly which I hope they improve!

Holiday Inn - Small but...

Pros: One of the best staff in San Diego. Very helpful and provide great details. Very warm and nice people. The first impression of any hotel is their front office staff and I would give them a 5 star for the front office and also the house keeping service
Cons: Breakfast could have been a lot better for the price. The potato fry and other food products must be our of plastic and paper covers. It can be unhealthy.

About Holiday Inn Express Hotel By InterContinental Brand Hotels

The Holiday Inn Express Hotel is a part of the InterContinental Hotels Group family. It is a mid-priced hotel chain that caters to the “upper economy”. Tagged as an “express” hotel, it focuses on offering limited services at a reasonable price. The amenities are convenient and practical and target business travels and tourists on short-term stays. As of September 2018, there are 2,687 Holiday Inn Express hotels throughout the world with over 274,000 rooms.

The first Holiday Inn Express locations opened in the United States in 1991. By 1998, the brand created such an amazing campaign ad called “Stay Smart” which clicked and helped skyrocket the hotel’s success. Originally, the first few Holiday Inn Express properties were the no-frills type hotels. Newer Holiday Inn Express hotels now offer most of the amenities that its higher-end counterpart offers.

There are four hotels in the Holiday Inn family of brands. These include the Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn Resort, and Holiday Inn Club Vacations. The Holiday Inn Express is different from the other brands in its style. Typically, the hotels are built from corporate architectural stereotypes with each hotel consisting of 60 to 80 rooms and a mix of suites. The Express hotel chain has seen a huge success so much so that majority of the Holiday Inn Express hotels are either brand new or newly renovated. Holiday Inn Express hotels also differ in its location because the chain is typically positioned in suburbs and freeways.

Superb except for late check-in

Pros: Overall, it was a very pleasant experience. Staff is very vigilant and helpful. Many eateries and view spots at walking distance.
Cons: Late Check-in. That's the only glitch during my stay. When someone comes after a long flight, one needs to make sure the room gets ready at the designated time. Bookings are made way before the day of arrival, so there is no excuse for the room not ready to be handed over. I arrived at 1 pm, I was told check-in is at 3 pm as mentioned on the website, which i acknowledged and went out to grab a bite. I came back at 2:50 pm and i was still asked to wait in the lobby and was handed over the keys at 3:45 pm. I was literally sleeping and falling while sitting in the lobby as i had an early morning flight. The reason for putting it here and emphasizing over it is that this particular thing matters a lot for travelers. If you are punctual about check-out, you should make sure on-time check-ins, too.
