I stayed one night at this hotel because the Red Roof Inn across the street was sold out. I was honestly expecting quite a bit more, because of the price difference. The hotel seems to have undergone a resent renovation, and had all the new amenities you would expect (flat screen tv, mini fridge, nice bedding, etc). And i must... More

We stayed in the Holiday Inn Exprees for 3 nights. The hotel was recently remodeled, comfortable king beds with new linens, flat TVs, microvawe, small fridge and coffee maker. The rooms are very small, hardly enough for 2 people, but very clean. We enjoyed breakfast in the new breakfast room with big flat TV and couch. There was plenty of... More

First and foremost I don't know what happened with the other reviewer who had all kinds of billing problems, but I can say that at no time did I personally see any evidence of any bugs. I stayed there for one night when I was going to the bars in Pacific Beach (2 miles away) for a friend's birthday. I... More

DO NOT GO HERE. I stayed here once and spend a whole week trying to recover $100 they over charged me. I called IHG (the franchise), the general manager, the property owners and my bank. 5 days, 5 hours. They messed up and did not have their proper documentation that showed their mistake, They required me to have the burden... More
