InterContinental San Diego by IHG

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 – InterContinental San Diego My stay at the InterContinental San Diego was exceptional from start to finish. The hotel offers stunning views of San Diego Bay, modern and beautifully appointed rooms, and an unbeatable waterfront location. Waking up to views of the harbor and watching the sunset over the water made the experience truly memorable. The staff was professional, friendly, and attentive, providing outstanding service throughout my stay. The hotel was spotless, the amenities were excellent, and the location made it easy to explore nearby attractions such as the waterfront, Seaport Village, and downtown San Diego. Whether traveling for business or leisure, the InterContinental delivers a luxury experience with comfort, convenience, and incredible views. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting San Diego.

Our trip started off a little bumpy but the customer service Noah displayed to resolve it truly was above and beyond. It was clear that he truly cared. And he recognized our military status which is always appreciated. Don’t sleep on this hotel. It’s right on the harbour and stunning. Beautiful design and immaculately clean. The pool is heated with incredible views. The gym had spin, yoga, and strength classes from a digital display which was such a treat. The food in the restaurant and club was excellent. It’s within walking distance of so much. The staff was friendly helpful and professional wherever we went. Great place to stay before and after a cruise as the terminal is across the street. Great fish market on Saturday just a short walk away.

Lovely property and as a Diamond Ambassador I had an upgrade to an excellent view. The rooms were clean with excellent amenities. Note: Club lounge is for club room members and reserve ambassador members. I was able to check-in early and appreciated that after a long morning of travel. The staff was polite and efficient. The dinner options on this property are great, but the lunch menu is sparse and the breakfast buffet is excellent but starts at 7.

We had issues booking through a third-party, but the hotel was very understanding and helped us with an adjustment to our room. The dining, location and amenities were all perfect. Everyone was responsive to our needs and would love to come back in the future.

The intercontinental needs to figure out its identity on if it’s a luxury hotel or not. It’s at best a 4 star hotel masquerading with 5 star prices. Pros - the location is good, views are nice, and rooms were clean. Cons - the water pressure was poor, mattresses too soft, and gym too small (in the morning, every equipment was occupied). Despite the price being $600/night, we felt nickel and dime for everything. We paid for a breakfast package when booking the hotel through Chase’s “The Edit”. However, the breakfast package only included the cold dishes at the buffet. Without knowing, we got a single sausage from the hot bar and were charged an extra $14 per person.
