I stayed at the Holiday Inn Bayside for a week long business stay. I arrived at the airport, not knowing what I needed to do to get the free shuttle. I called the hotel, immediately, to tell them that I was waiting for a shuttle, they made me wait over an hour and a half. I called the front desk after an hour and the front desk lady hung up on me because I was complaining! (Of course I was complaining!!) I got to the hotel around 2:00 pm, they told me I had to wait until 4:00 to check-in. (Ridiculous!) They sent me to the hotel's restaurant to have bite to eat...I paid in full for my meal. Later after 4:00 (after I finally checked in) they gave me coupons for 15%-off my meals for the next 7 days...that would have been nice for the meal I ate earlier! They really like to screw their customers!
After I got into my room, I noticed it smelled really musty, like wet garbage! The rooms looked like they were from the 70's. Nothing is updated! Everything was just very "old looking". This is not a nice hotel. It's very ghetto! Later, I noticed little fruit flies in my room! It was gross! I had to live in this room for 6 nights with bugs crawling on me at night. Oh and my shower's drain never worked. I stood in my own filth every time I took a shower!
Lets just say I couldn't wait to leave San Diego to go home! My clothes reaked so bad because of my musty room that I had to use the hotel's washing/drying units...I didn't want to be the "smelly" person on the flight back home. I was so happy to be at home when I got there. No bugs, no musty smells!
I won't recommend this hotel to anyone. If your okay with low rated hotels, that fine. I'm a five-star hotel kind-of-person. I've spent better nights in low-rated Mexico hotels! It just wasn't up to my standards and I will never go back.
