The name of the hotel is Holiday Inn Express Sea World but it is a couple of miles away from the Sea World. Secondly, the view from the rooms are not that great on top of that the location doesn't seem to be too safe to go out on foot at night. Apart from the above comments - Rooms were... More

We spent one night in San Diego and picked this HIE which is very centrally located and just a few minutes to the entrance of Sea World and a very short drive to Old Town. Yes, it is near the freeway and a major road and it was a little bit noisy at times mainly from the road and not... More

This hotel is clean, comfortable, and the staff is very helpful. Unfortunately, it is located in a place where there is a freeway, a major road, and a dog kennel within a very short distance... all making the experience much less desirable than it should be. There were two other reasons to give a low rating: 1) Our friends booked... More

Hotel rooms have been updated. Our room faced the road so it was noisy, in addition to the noise from the airport, people at the swimming pool, and kids/family in the hallway (yelling at 6:30 am!). Breakfast was adequate, but very crowded at times. Afternoon cookies were appreciated by the kids. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel... More

Awesome! Honestly, I had my reservations about the Holiday Inn chain based on outside input. The price was right with this and I couldn't be happier. Location was great for the major San Diego attractions and beaches, rooms were immaculate and free breakfast was plentiful and actually good! Staff was awesome, housekeeping was polite and efficient and even parking was... More

Went to San Diego for a family trip and stayed here for three nights. The room was awesome, very modern and very clean. The staff is very nice and greets you every time you pass by.

I've stayed at this small quaint Holiday Inn Express twice now and both times it was a pleasant stay. It is near the I-5/I-8 interchange which makes it easy to get anywhere in San Diego. The prices are a lot less than downtown and it has many restaurants (fast food and sit down) in the area. The staff is extremely... More
