Holiday Inn Bottle Shop

Best gift shop I’ve ever seen at a hotel! They have nearly EVERYTHING! gifts, clothing, liquor, wine, mixers, sodas, food, candy, snacks, everything you’d want to take up to your room and the prices are reasonable. I had the pleasure of being helped by Danielle, who is a consummate professional and made my several trips to the bottle shop fun. She should be managing that place (if she isn’t already). Highly recommend!

This Bayside Holiday Inn is a nice one-​much more a serene location than that bustling one that it’s always confused with over on Harbor Drive-​right across from the cruise ship terminal! The Bayside Holiday Inn has that great Point Loma Café restaurant and a nice pool! It’s also got the Holiday Inn Bottle Shop-​remodeled a few years ago into a great little haven of nice, (not tacky) tourist-​y gifts & a great booze selection!
Nestled into a little corner on the driveway next to a massive parking lot-​this little bit of liquor heaven has all the good stuff you wanna buy for a party in your hotel room-​right behind the cashier-​A SMART MOVE!
There’s a great variety of magazines; the usual selection of cold drinks and snacks; the cutest little stuffed Shamu’s and Panda’s for the kids back home, and what caught my eye: LEATHER PURSES!
Now why someone would need a sexy, studded black leather purse at a bottle shop is beyond me-​maybe this hotel hosts a lot of cross-​dresses? No matter-​these purses were HOT, but all I did was look since I am on a shopping time-​out for now. Also nice postcards available and they make it all so easy here: PUT that overly expensive bottle of Jim Bean on your HOUSE ACCOUNT and worry about paying for it when you CHECK OUT! Now that’s a RESPONSIBLE WAY to sell (and buy) Booze!
