Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good. My room was clean and adequate for my stay. Only 2 complaints. The TV lost its signal all the time, making it very annoying and hard to watch a program. My other problem was it was noisey. I was on the 3rd floor above the pool and could hear people at the pool. Also noisey neighbors in the hallway, doors slamming, vacuum going.

The staff was very helpful, friendly, and informative. I wish I remember his name, but he gave us great suggestions on places to eat while being patient with us throughout the check-in process. Breakfast was good and varied certain items somewhat from day-to-day. Single elevator would get semi-busy in peak hours. Amenities were great. Location is awesome if you’re going to Sea World or Mission beach. We were able to see the dries and light shows in the evening from our room. Location is accessible to major highways to go anywhere in San Diego. Felt safe with staffed security and several places to get food for the kids were within walking distance. This hotel met all expectations.

I would recommend an adults only floor, the only downside was kids running down the hall and infants crying. Not sure if that is possible.

I wasn't able to get the room I originally wanted, so I had to stay in a handicap room. I notified the front desk attendant that I wanted to get another room. She told me that there wasn't any more room available. This was the room that was assigned to me. I asked for a refund. She told me I had to go through Expedia because I had made my reservation through it. Expedia directed me back to the hotel. The bed was low, which was bad for my knee. The rest of my vacation was not good. I had trouble getting into and out of the low bed.

The hotel itself is fine and your typical holiday inn standard, maybe a notch lower. We heard babies cried but it wasn’t bad. The only complaint about hotel is bathroom has no fan. The location is a bit sketchy, at the end of an industrial part of town. If you have a regular car you can park in the garage. We had to park in the overflow lot due to a box on top of our suv, and the area is not family friendly. The actual location is bad imo but the flip side is, this location is central to sea world, ocean beach, old town, downtown, and petco. Not too bad but would probably not come back to this hotel.

Parking in the garage was not available, we parked in the additional parking area. The area did seem less safe than the garage but we parked there without incident. Very easy to get back and forth from Sea World. Close to the highway. Breakfast was a bit busy and the area was congested. I was satisfied with our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there in the future.

The hotel was great, nice and clean and well maintained. The breakfast was good too. Problem here is twofold. First, the location is extremely noisy being right alongside the Interstate on one side and a major artery on the other. Plus, there are airplanes passing right over. The other problem is parking. Most of the parking is in a cellar beneath the building. If you drive a car much bigger than a subcompact, you're going to have a difficult time.

We had an overall enjoyable stay, but will stay elsewhere next time. The room was clean and spacious with complimentary water & coffee/tea. The beds were comfortable and true-to-size. The in-room entertainment was lacking (older TV, basic channels, no Netflix/streaming platforms). More outlets and/or charging ports would have been appreciated. The daily breakfast featured a good variety with juices, pork and turkey meat options, eggs, potatoes, hot and cold cereals, yogurt, cinnamon rolls, muffins, pancakes, etc. Staff was predominantly Hispanic. They nor the manager were very friendly to non-Hispanic guests. The laundry room had newer machines for $2 per cycle. The pool is very small. Parking is free, but limited for standard-sized vehicles. You'll need to return for the evening no later than 7pm if you want a spot. The location is convenient for restaurants, shopping, and getting to popular local attractions, but the area is sketchy (security guards in stores, items locked behind glass). The doors of the hotel are locked at 9pm and you must show your key card through the window to get let in by staff. A security guard walks the property at night as well. Flyers were dispersed to guests stating the hot water would be cut off one day from 9am to 4pm for a boiler replacement, yet no refund or accommodation was offered for the inconvenience. Given that kind of maintenance was scheduled days or weeks in advance, the hotel should not have even accepted reservations for that day.

The \"one bedroom suite\" we booked clearly showed pictures of a separate sleeping area and living area divided by a wall. The room we received was an open floor plan without the wall and one less TV. We were told \"sorry, we only have 2 suites and someone is in that one already and this is the only other one we have\". This was the entire reason we had booked this specific room and this specific hotel in the first place.
Breakfast is served until 10 but bacon and yogurt selection ran out by 8 on Thursday.
Bathroom definitely needs some renovating as while clean the floor tiles and bathtub are worn and don't look as clean as they should.
Local trash came at 5am and woke up my kids, so that was fun.
In the past I've been very happy with holiday inn express, but this is probably the most fun down one I've stayed at, I would never have knowingly paid this much for the suite we got stuck with.

Parking was difficult with a van in the covered parking due to all the poles. They did have extra parking outside though so that worked out. Pool was small, not enough seating in the pool area. Not enough breakfast area seating. A crib that we didn’t ask for was randomly placed in our room.

Breakfast itself was good. Staff was nice. Location very convenient to go to SeaWorld or get on the highway.

Room was clean and staff was very friendly. Breakfast was good, typical for Holiday Inn Express. Our real only complaint was our door to our unit had quite a large gap on the latch side, which allowed a lot of sound in. We mentioned this to the front desk and she said they will look at it. Other than that no issues during our 9 night stay.

After spending a long day at SeaWorld, we checked into the hotel. I was very tired and exhausted and the process was so fast and simple and the clerks were so nice and sympathetic for my tiredness. Our room was beautiful and the temperature was perfect. It was very refreshing large and clean. Hot free breakfast in the morning is always a plus at any hotel. The breakfast hours were from 6 to 10 AM which is a little bit longer than normal and I appreciated it because my kids were hard to wake up! I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family and I plan on staying there again on any business I do in San Diego. The location was perfect less than 2 miles from Seaworld less than 5 miles from the beach. Lots of food options around the area as well.
