Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent breakfast and balcony had good view. Excellent staff, housekeeping."

Pendry San Diego

8/10 Good

"The so called Amenity fee is supposed to include free coffee, but they limit it from 5 - 8 am and if it runs out before 8 am, they don't refill it. This felt like a bait and switch. Otherwise, the room was great and the pool was nice. The gym was excellent. We chose not to eat at the restaurants due to the price gauging, but found many other great places to spend our money while downtown. I wouldn't recommend this hotel because it felt like they were trying to nickel and dime the guest, who already paid a top end price to stay."

San Diego Downtown Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"They let us check in early"

The US Grant, a Luxury Collection Hotel, San Diego

10/10 Excellent
