FROG FAMILY REVIEW
Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown*

What we love

  • Modern and inviting décor for stylish comfortability.
  • Downtown location is ideal for hopping around San Diego attractions and provides beautiful views of the downtown skyline.
  • The outdoor heated pool is the perfect way to start or end the day.
  • The vast spread provided for breakfast will satisfy the entire frog family.
  • Enjoy falling asleep in the comfort of a plush duvet after picking your favorite pillow.
  • The on-site business center is a convenient place to check last-minute travel plans or print tickets.
  • On-site self-laundry facilities are available for guests.

Keep in Mind

  • There is no on-site restaurant, but several food options are within a short walk or drive.
  • There is a limited number of connecting rooms available; be sure to include that in your special request if booking multiple rooms.
  • Pets are not allowed.

Frog Family Tips

  • Breakfast is included! Be sure to stop by the breakfast area for a signature Holiday Express cinnamon roll plus a hot breakfast buffet or “grab ‘n’ go” options before heading out.
  • Request a room with a balcony so you can sunbathe while enjoying your morning coffee.
  • Enjoy a relaxing evening on the outdoor patio, and take in the views of the San Diego skyline.

Best For

  • Travelers that want the option to hop, walk, or drive to nearby attractions from the heart of the city center with a skyline-lined pool and comfy bed waiting back at the lily pad.
