Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

Crowne Plaza San Diego - Mission Valley by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed here on multiple visits. Property is well maintained with Hawaiian theme and water features that create a nice atmosphere. Abby at the front desk was awesome. She reminded me and assisted with checking for my IHG account that saved us $10 a night on parking. Lobby bar has great bartenders that were very prompt and sociable. Location is central to most locations with easy freeway access. Rooms will be due for updating soon. Like carpet, paint, and furniture. Could use some chairs on the balcony. Will definitely stay again."

8/10 Good
"The property is adjacent to the beach, which is always a plus. Sebastian's one man drum band across the street was a nice touch. A secure courtyard allowed us to met our "neighbors". Management has a couple of friendly cats, another plus as a fellow cat person. One recommendation I have for the owners is to provide a coffee maker is each room. I need hot water in the morning, and a coffee maker (or microwave oven) would be perfect. Restaurants, bars, and live music venues within walking distance makes this hotel a great location. Too bad about being at the departure end of SD airport, but fortunately it's quiet at night. I look forward to another visit."

"Overall, our stay was very good! The staff was friendly, and there were plenty of things to do, especially for families with kids. They have free marshmallow bonfires, complimentary shuttles to the sea world, ping-pong, movie nights, and other fun kids’ activities. The breakfast was okay, but overall, we really enjoyed our stay. This is definitely a very kid-friendly environment, and I would recommend it to families looking for a fun and welcoming place to stay."
