I think this is the first negative review I have left on Expedia. I booked with holiday inn as it is a consistent hotel chain. Stayed last night and our room smelled like cat pee. We complained and they offered to move us but I have just had surgery and didn’t want to pack up everything. They said to speak to the manager in the morning. Housekeeping came into the room and confirmed the smell (with argument but did after) 8 am turned into 9, 9:30, manager will call you. I have now sat on hold for 20 minutes and was told she will call me. They are avoiding dealing with my unhappy stay and I wouldn’t have have to deal with this if they would have had the room clean and a strong odor removed.

Clean room and friendly service
The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the hotel is even walking distance from Old Town. We didn't really eat the breakfast - just grabbed coffee - because we had other plans, but it looked to have a great selection of food.

Clean and Comfortable
We had a great stay to go to a baseball game in San Diego. It was an easy check in with Art. A very nice welcoming man. A perk at the hotel is parking and EV Charging station. Breakfast was great for a simple bagel, coffee, eggs, sausage and fruit type of deal. They also shuttle you to old town, which is about half a mile away.
