“Pros: Mr. Soham, AK, Sunny, AO, Dinesh, TJ, Mrs. Elizabeth, the breakfast crew, and our room attendants were amazing!!!! The hotel was beautiful and accommodated all of our needs. Our room was huge, the breakfast was delicious, the staff was very helpful, and the location was convenient. My Suga Babies really enjoyed the pool. Cons: Parking was $24 per day. The hot tub was out of order and I was really looking forward to relaxing in it, but couldn't. For the first two nights, we didn't have a shower curtain in the bathroom. Our lovely room attendant took care of that for us. The remote to one of the TVs wasn't working for the first two nights either, however, the manager came up to the room and hooked the chords up to correct the problem. We needed to stay an extra night in the same room and we were charged almost $400; FOR ONE NIGHT!!!!! That was triple the cost for a regular night. I was not pleased about this at all. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends in the San Diego area. The staff was exceptionally wonderful to me! Thank you.”
“The hotel is located near the old town and has a great deal of amenities. The free breakfast has a great selection of items and is run quite well. They have a pool and a hot tub which is quite nice as well. You have to pay 24$ nightly for parking. The room looks new and has a microwave and fridge. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was the sound overall. We got a room which also had a connector room and somehow all the days we were there, the other room was also occupied and the sound from there travelled quite well into our room, making it difficult to sleep at night.”
“The entire team was very accommodating during my stay at Holiday Inn Express. From the front desk staff—AK, Sunny, and Amad—to the amazing housekeeping team, everyone was welcoming and attentive. Our room was kept very clean with daily housekeeping, and the cleanliness throughout the hotel was impressive. The location was extremely convenient. I found this hotel last minute when I had to travel from Los Angeles to a nearby healthcare facility where a family member was receiving treatment. It was comforting to return to such a pleasant and relaxing hotel after long, stressful days. The outdoor area, including the pool, was very relaxing and surrounded by greenery and beautiful scenery. The pool and jacuzzi were clean, well-maintained, and heated. Overall, the hotel met every need my family and I had, and I truly appreciated the comfort and care provided during our stay.”
“Location was excellent for our sites of the ZOO and Seaworld. Security was great. We felt very safe in the area. Complimentary breakfast was a little different every day and had an assortment of hot and cold items. The room was clean and roomy with a living area in the room. It was close to 2 malls with theaters and restaurants.”
