We stayed here with our children aged 9 & 14. We rented 2 rooms which were located around the pool. The rooms were big, modern, furnished & decorated to a very high standard. Pool was good with solid wood loungers & tables. Breakfast also good. Its 'express' style, some hot food, the ususal other foods (bread/bagels, juice/ coffee) lovely cinnemon... more

Had a terrible time at the Grande Colonial so came here. This place was clean, quiet, nice rooms and friendly staff. It's a drive to get anywhere and that was ok at the time but if you're looking for accessiblity to stuff, this probably isn't the best spot. more

Different than other hotels in the area. The hotel was quaint and quite charming. The bed in this hotel was very very comfortable. We loved the tropical theme decor and shutters in the room. The room was very clean and included a mini fridge and microwave. The staff was very nice and helped make our stay a pleasant one. Another... more

Trip Advisor folks have never let me down... before now. Based on the reviews, I expected a nice-ish version of a cheap hotel. Here's what I got... Check-in guy was none too friendly, just gave us the key and didn't ask any questions. Yes, it was late but nobody else was around and he could have made an effort. No... more

Staff was very helpful. Great location. Great value. more

Stayed 3 night while attending convention in San Diego. Wanted to avoid super expensive hotels downtown, and still have a convenient yet relaxing locale. Couldn't have chosen better than the Holiday Inn Express La Jolla. Rooms were large, clean, nicely decorated, quiet, and comfortable. Everyone (and I mean EVERYONE) associated with working on the staff was friendly and outgoing. I... more
