Dear Sara, Thank you for the “very nice” review.

Nice hotel, moderate price. Close to shops, La Jolla cove. Just a wonderful place. You can pay much, much more someplace else in the area. There are numerous restaurants and bars. All good.

This was our first stay at a Holiday Inn Express, we stayed two nights, and I confess I expected more. It was clean and comfortable. Pool and hot tub area welcoming. And, yes, the staff was helpful and accommodating. I was surprised at how small the room was, though maybe only ours had a strange configuration as it was an... More

I spent 1 night at this hotel. Room was clean, staff was nice, in-room internet was working fine. I asked for late checkout, which was ok with them, however, they forgot about it the next morning.

Best thing about this place was that it was a few short blocks to a pleasant little beach and from there a pleasant run to the Sea Coves and downtown La Jolla heading north.

Overall: convenient hotel, almost motel like, for its price. Location: The hotel is situated south of downtown La Jolla. It is quite far from downtown, walking down La Jolla Blvd would take at least 30 minutes, but it's a 5 minute drive. Rooms: I was first given a room on the first floor in front of the ice machine.
