My stay was OK but two areas that I was extremely disappointed with were the breakfast and environmental consciousness: 1. Breakfast: The food was very low quality and if you are vegetarian/vegan, there is absolutely nothing you can eat except for bread and a banana. 2. Environment: All the plates, cups, and utensils for both breakfast and in the rooms... More

Ester or Bella at the front desk, Elisa the GM, great property. Stayed here two nights this month already. Clean, spacious rooms. Great free breakfast. Fair value, good location. Make sure you get a room that the bathroom for doesn't open toward the main entrance of the room, makes for tricky departure sometimes. Will be back for sure!

My husband and I stayed here during March, 2012. We travel to San Diego often and decided to try a hotel away from the downtown area. The Sorrento area is just minutes away from downtown San Diego, but is also close to Torrey Pines and La Jolla. We were happy with our choice. The rooms were clean, the staff was... More

My wife and I stayed here five days in March 2012. One problem was that, for the first time in our hotel/motel experiences, we could not open a window to get fresh air. Yes having the AC on all the time drowns out any road or freeway noise, but after awhile it would be nice to be able to get... More

Hotel desk manager Ester deserves a special thank for her attentiveness to myself . She never gets frustrated or loses her smile even with rude hotel guests. This entire hotel staff will do everything possible to resolve any problem there, though do not expect such after check-in.

The Sorrento Valley is close to a major highway and byways, easy drive to Lajolla, the airport, zoo or downtown. However less costly than staying downtown. Also, very quiet neighborhood. Helpful staff. This is the place to go to spend about 10$ extra per night but be in a hotel instead of a motel. Small pool, but even if big... More

I always stay in Holiday Inn Express Sorrento Valley when I'm in San Diego, they always welcome me with a bag of goodies that at least make me feel good... All personnel is always very nice and I would like to give a special thank to Elisa Santos for all her help and as always she is very helpful, I... More

I love this hotel. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The breakfast is unbeatable, and the employees are probably the nicest people of any hotel I have stayed in before. I'll keep coming back. My only comment (and I've seen this in other Holiday Inns) is the toilet paper. I don't think anyone who builds these hotels has ever sat... More

This is probably not the hotel you want to stay at for a long trip or if your traveling with family. Simple rooms with bare basic features, but cost effective and great when your a tourist on a budget.!!
