“Overall review of hotel”
A good hotel, useful room and well situated for our needs. The Old Town was a great place and within easy walking distance from the hotel for us - and I have a knee disability. The staff was very helpful. The only problem we had was to control the heat/cool for the room. That was a minor concern.
“Customer service was great during the regional power outage”
We checked in shortly after the start of the regional power outage. We were very impressed with how friendly and efficient the hotel staff was. They even handed out ice cream sandwiches and provided some of the breakfast food that evening. The staff couldn't have been better, especially during a challenging time. The location is close to Old Town which is awesome! We love Cafe Coyote. The hotel is also conveniently close to the freeway. Our room did face the freeway and was a little noisy. They have double windows which does help reduce the noise. We slept very well in spite of everything.
“Ok hotel”
I rate this as a middle of the road hotel for a person in a wheelchair. Access to Old Town was a little too far to negotiate the chair, and getting to downtown San Diego required driving our own vehicle either to the trolly stop or downtown.
“Great location for my trip”
The hotel was in a great location for my trip. We were going to MCRD and the hotel had a shuttle that went there. The hotel staff was great and informative.
“Great place”
Of the three places that our family stayed while vacationing in California by far this was the best. Staff was excellent and friendly. We stayed at an upscale resort in Anaheim, which you would think the service would be to notch, but no. Ryan at the front desk was great!
“Can't wait to go back”
We really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was wonderful. My family and I are excited to go back to San Diego and stay at the Holiday Inn Express again. The employees are helpful with all your needs.
“Great deal!”
This hotel had friendly staff, good breakfast in the morning, and convenient shuttle service to the airport, convention center, seaworld, and San Diego Zoo.
“San Diego near Airport best hotel”
I had a lovely stay in a room which was spotless with staff who were both friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel particularly to travellers like myself who required somewhere near the airport
“Excellent service and value”
Great hotel. Nice and clean, plus friendly and attentinve staff. Great breakfast. Location is within walking distance of Old Town and right off Highway 5. Was impressed with the soundproofing in the rooms given the freeway traffic and nearby airport. Would definitely choose this hotel again.
“Great value.”
Very nice property - new, clean & conveniently located in Old Town.
