This property is well located. close enough to Old Town you can walk but there is a shutttle from the hotel as well. Rooms are basic but clean and beds were comfortable. The only downside is being on the side with the freeway, as it’s pretty loud. Breakfast was good and we enjoyed our one night stay.

Amazing comfy bed, very clean room with everything you need for a cozy stay, helpful staff, free shuttle to the airport. The only thing was I got a veggie tray from the little market store by reception and the veggies were all spoiled.

Holiday Inn Express scored big time with me for their excellent shuttle service! They were so friendly and accommodating in picking us up from the airport, taking us to Old Town, and getting us to our cruise embarking port. They also had a fantastic breakfast available - a step above most hotels!

Shuttle driver was very nice and front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Jetted tub room looked the same as photos. Only downside was that there was no heat in the bathroom and the week that I stayed was very cold and raining. Room was spacious and housekeeping staff was nice. Location was near freeways and other cities.

This was a wonderful stop for a one night stay in San Diego for us. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The free shuttle from the airport was also a plus. The rooms were extremely clean as well as the entire property. They provide a nice breakfast in a dining room that included fresh fruit fresh-made pancakes cinnabon cinnamon rolls eggs omelets and breakfast meats along with a lot of other things. I would highly recommend this if you were staying near the airport
