We booked this hotel thinking that it would just be another hotel in a not so great area, but close to the airport for our flight out the next morning. We were pleasantly surprised. They let us check in about an hour and a half early. The room was very, very clean and recently updated. The beds were extremely comfortable... More

The night staff when we checked in was extremely helpful and friendly especially Jomar. The rooms are clean and updated. The hotel is located less than a mile away from sea world.

This is an excellent location if you're thinking about visiting Sea World. Downtown district is a mere 5 min drive but just across from this hotel are a couple of great restaurants as well. The room was exceptionally clean, new furnitures, clean bathroom and great staff. There is a 24 hour fitness and an outside pool. Breakfast was served on... More

You could not ask for a more conveniant location. Seaworld is literally right down the street. The ocean is a five minute drive from the hotel. Old Town San Diego less than ten minutes. The highway to get downtown has an on ramp next to the hotel. As far as the hotel goes; I've stayed at many HIE and this... More

Holiday Inn always provides good service. The rooms are basically all the same with the usual reliable amenities,service and great showers. This property is very close to Seaworld and was our first choice, so we were delighted when there was a vacancy.After dark was a bit scary as we encountered several homeless persons just crossing the road to go to...

Great hotel with super friendly and knowledgeable staff. We came for the Audubon Bird Festival. We did not want to hassle with a car rental and hotel staff helped with transportation options (taxi, public transport, maps, suggested routes) so we could get to the festival and to downtown. Really easy!!! There is a bus stop right on the corner with... More

The hotel was a little difficult to find even with a GPS. If you don't take the turn immediately you will end up on the freeway and waste an abundance of time. Don't let the exterior of the building fool you.l As you enter the building you are greeted very friendly by the front desk. The reception area is tasteful,... More

Great value for money near Sea World. Service was impecable at check-in and check-out. Very nice with many inclusions such as wifi, breakfast, parking. I wish more hotels were that clean and easy to deal with. Expect a stampede near the breakfast bar in the morning with very small tables to eat but for the breakfast was decent and food... More
