Room was next to either an auto detail shop or body shop and was loud during early morning. We were told of a planned power outage on our last night there and prepped for keeping devices fully charged, bags packed while the lights were on. This cut into our last day visiting San Diego. Then there was no outage. It was fine but definitely an inconvenience. The area was centrally located to everything and that was nice but it didn’t feel the safest and it isn’t walkable to anything because of traffic and highways. Staff were nice and breakfast was sufficient!

Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express was very pleasant. We found this particular Holiday Inn is invested in customer care, cleanliness, and making sure as a guest we are treated with care. The breakfast was nice as all Holiday Inn's. Only thought people may complain the food was cold, not hot. What I noticed is guest did not close the lids, therefore the food would cool off quickly.
