We (fam of 4) stayed here primarily because of location. We use holiday inn express hotels a lot but were really surprised by this one! The staff was really friendly and helpful, and we were very impressed with the cleanliness! I'm sensitive to odors, allergic to mold and had no problems at all at this hotel! We will definitely be...

We booked a room here for 5 days in order to be close to Stone Brewing, and also as a base to explore San Diego and southern California. Stone is about a $10 cab ride and the hotel staff were always happy to call a taxi for us. The hotel has free parking which was very useful as we had... More

2nd time back at this Holiday Inn. Its distance from San Diego hasn't changed, but it's pretty easy to get to and from the airport. Traffic may be a problem if you're on the highway during rush hour, but it's doable. Lots of restaurants (chains, fast food and some local places) close by. The hotel is very clean and the... More

I booked a room here so we could be close to Stone Brewery.  It being our first time to both establishments I was a little skeptical about staying at a place that was motel'ish BUT I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were really nice (especially for not being a "5 star"), modern, clean, friendly staff, great shower water pressure (because... More

If you're planning to stay here and spend most of your time in San Diego proper, you may want to re-evaluate sine the city's just far enough to be annoying. For a quick overnight though, it's great. The room (king bed, nonsmoking) was huge, with a rainshower shower head. It was quiet, even when football fans decided to play an... More

Exactly what you would expect from Holiday Inn Express hotels. Good rooms, good internet, not too expensive, reasonable breakfast and perfect location for where I needed to be.

We stayed here overnight in August after attending a wedding. I booked our room on the Holiday Inn website and selected a regular room with a King sized bed. I also purchased extra points as I am a Rewards customer with the chain. The location is right off the 15 freeway conveniently nestled near an In n Out Burger, Gas... More

We were looking for a reasonable room in San Diego to stay one night. The prices for all the hotels were outrageous, even for a 2 star hotel. We decided to stay at this hotel as we were planning to go to Sea World and Wild Animal Park. We didn't expect much, as this was a two and a half... More

The rooms are HOT!! A/C didn't work properly the 3 nights we were there. The breakfast room is a JOKE! It's always packed, not enough room to sit or even serve your food to go eat somewhere else! The halls have no A/C. The parking.....IS HORRIBLE! There are NO surveillance cameras. They claim the "have security" but it's their own... More

My party of five has had a lovely stay here. We arrived with a reservation for a double queen-bed suite, but discovered on this road trip that my elderly father really needed a wheelchair accessible room. The front desk staff was able to place us in an accessible suite that easily accomodated us all. The hotel is clean, breakfast is... More
