This is a wonderful Holiday Inn Express that had just been renovated throughout the hotel, so everything was fresh and attractive. The location was ideal with easy access to two major highways: I-8 & I-5., which was important so we easily could get around the city. It also is very close to Sea World. The front desk team, especially the... More

We probooked this hotel to get a better rate, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality this hotel offers. I would rate this hotel anytime on-par we a Hilton or Sheraton hotel! The rooms are spacious, our room had 2 double beds (4 pillows each - soft & firm) + a sofa bed that opened into another bed - with... More

We enjoyed our stay there. Clean rooms, nice breakfast to start our days, wondered staff,and 5 minutes to Sea World. The area around the hotel is so so. I wouldn't recommend walking outside, and the parking stalls are a little tight. The underground parking could use security gates or a guard, but we didn't see any problems during our stay.... More

The room was clean and the size was OK. The breakfast can be improved with more healthy options, the hotel offered cereal, yogurt, bread and bagels but no natural fruits. We liked the covered parking and its closeness to the airport. Checking/Checkout was fast. The hotel has an outdoor pool but the pool area is practically limited to the pool... More

I moved to Holiday Inn Express after two bad evenings at the Ramada Inn. Wow what a difference when I walked into Holiday Inn Express. It was clean, friendly staff and such a nicer hotel. The hotel accommodated several of us that had left the Ramada. The rooms were 100% cleaner and nicer than the Ramada and when I walked... More

I read a few reviews regrading the hotel's area so I'll start there. Do NOT worry! I felt very safe returning a night. The hotel is very nice and clean and the staff are amazing. I especially liked the fact that the hotel made lists of places close to the hotel - places where you can visit. We were five... More

We landed at Long Beach, California, rented a car and drove to San Diego. Took about 3 hours during rush hour. We returned to Long Beach and the drive was about 1 hour without rush hour. The location is great when visiting Sea World. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was what you expected. The free parking in the well... More

The staff was very friendly an helpful. The room was very clean! The bed was amazing I did not want to get up the next morning it was so comfy. The breakfast was hot and fresh. I was very pleased with the selection that fit my diet plan that I am on. The underground parking was very well lit and... More

I've stayed at this hotel about 1 a month for the past 3 years (sometimes more then once a month.) It's not in the greatest location, its not the best HIX I've ever been too, but the staff is fantastic. I love the front desk person, Luz (I think that's her name) She always is so friendly and greets me... More
