Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

Holiday Inn Express San Diego Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"They have the best coffee machine of any hotel! It grinds the beans to make your coffee. Talk about fresh! Really good. And there's a microwave in the room to reheat it. 😁 Breakfast is fresh and so much to choose from. Much better than the expensive hotels where you have to pay a fortune for breakfast on top of the very high room rate. "
