The hotel property is unique because of the location which is near Old Town San Diego and the convenience of the freeway to get to the great tourist destinations of the city. Even though the hotel is next to the freeway, it was quiet in the room.

Holiday inn weekend

Coming from a small country town, having never been to a big city. This hotel made us feel like home. They were caring and respectful. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a safe place for your family. The location is nice the pool is warm. The breakfast was great.
