My husband and I had stayed at Holiday Inn Express in Solana Beach...we liked the location and loved the breakfast. We chose it again this year, we were especially happy because they advertised access to the internet/Wii....great, because we now had a laptop. We spent about 2 hours each day trying to access the internet. We were told by a... more

We stayed here to meet for the weekend at a nearby beach with friends and family. This economical hotel was perfect for our family (including a 4 and 6 year old). All parking is close to the hotel elevator. Free hot breakfast is definately an advantage (do not expect gourmet here...the food does its job though!) . Eggs, bacon, sausage,... more

Stayed for 4 nights. Nice place. The beach is a 5 to 10 minute walk away. This was my kids' first beach experience and they loved it. Most hotels I researched near the beach were twice the price of this one. Our itinery was Seaworld and the Zoo in San Diego, and Legoland in Carlsbad. This hotel is about half... more

Staff and Management were great. Very Clean property and rooms. The service there is brilliant. Great location. more

Stay away from this HIE. Worst customer service I have ever encountered, good luck complaining. The manager (or so he claimed) is as rude as they come. Rooms are unkept, maid service in consistent. I was hoping it would be a decent place for me and colleagues here on business for next few months but no cigar. I wish I... more

We stayed in this hotel in August 2008. It was a nice hotel for the money, especially in this area. Clean (even the bathroom and beds), quiet and comfortable. They give you a nice breakfast, yogurt, boiled eggs, bacon, pancakes. I would stay here again. We walked to the race track and back. The beaches in this area were awesome.... more

We had such a wonderful time when we stayed here. We had a room overlooking the pool and jacuzzi and were able to sit on the balcony while our kids were swimming. Our room had a microwave and fridge which was nice since we stocked up on sodas/goodies and the breakfast in the morning was surprisingly good. We had scrambled... more

We stayed at the HI Express Solana Beach as we had tickets for a concert at the nearby Belly Up Tavern (which was unfortunately cancelled, but that's another story) just for one night. We paid around $100 and got a decent night's sleep in comfortable beds and the complimentary breakfast was plentiful and included hot items as well as the... more

I usually stay at the Courtyard next door, but it was booked up so I tried the Holiday Inn Express. The hotel lobby was small, but the staff greeted me quickly and called me by my name. It went down hill from there. They put me on the third floor in the back (they said near the ocean, but you... more
