Top South Bay Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites San Diego Otay Mesa by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean bedroom. Friendly staff."

Holiday Inn Express San Diego South - Chula Vista by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Family of 6 stayed here and could not have asked for a better experience! Upon check in we were greeted by Ross who was so kind and had a welcoming smile! He answered all my questions and even shared his experience about being from Texas. I had to go to the desk for things I forgot, laundry detergent, and computer access and Edgar greeted me with a smile each and every time. I know he probably got tired of my face but he never let it show. The kitchen staff always had breakfast stocked and the variety of food was awesome! There is not a negative I can say about this experience. We even had to use the pool bathroom and it was SPARKLING CLEAN!!!! I let my kiddos sit on the toilet!!! It didn’t stink! It was stocked with toilet paper, soap, and literally CLEAN!!! Will definitely stay at this place again!"

Hercor Hotel - Urban Boutique

2/10 Terrible

"So Disappointed Made a non-refundable, pre-paid 2 nights booking that was scheduled a few weeks out. I called the Hercor desk that morning of check-in to advise of an urgent inability to travel, but since the reservation was pre-paid/non-refundable I would offer my room to another of the traveling family. The front desk said I needed to go through my Expedia booking to advise whom would use my booking. Okay, I said, I can do that. Sent the message through Expedia to advise the name who would use the 2nd night of my booking, and followed up with a call to the front desk. The clerk told me that my reservation had been canceled for ‘no show’. What? I had said I called the previous day to advise, and followed the instructions given. The clerk refused, unwilling to made amends or re-open the booking to use the room that I had already paid for. I kindly asked she push my request up for review/approval, but did not hear back. I called Expedia on that cancellation, they too called the hotel. Expedia said I needed to call the hotel directly and ask for the manager, after the holiday. I did that, and yet still no response, or any sort of acknowledgement. I am not looking for a refund, only a little kindness and empathy for helping travelers in need. I suppose when they already have your money, they don’t have to care."
