Amazing location for beach goers, mostly good room

The hotel is in a pristine location -- quiet, easy to access and a short walk to a beautiful beach. The rooms were recently renovated so they're modern and clean, though I wish they had a microwave and a comfortable office chair. They offer fresh cookies at the front desk every afternoon for guests to snack on when they check in, and the employees are always friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is a typical hotel continental breakfast -- nothing special but a convenient way to fuel up for the day. Parking is $16 per day, which cuts into this hotel's overall value, but that's not uncommon for this area. Long story short: if you're visiting the San Diego area to enjoy the ocean, this is a great choice.

Great stay! Great location!

The staff was amazing! I was very surprised how their renovation was dine. They did sn excellent job. The room was massive and the location is quite. For a Holiday Inn, this stay was amazing. The hotel is close to everything and the local beaches were a walk away. I highly recommend this hotel. I would definitely return. Thank you staff!

Nice, comfy hotel

The hotel was really nice. The location couldn't have been any better. The only reason for the good ratings instead of excellent was the hotel is a little older and shows a little wear. I would stay there again.

Had a great stay. Love when breakfast is included but would like to suggest a higher quality pancake mix & oatmeal. And, it was way too hot in the breakfast room. Thankfully, the staff opened a door after we asked. Why no A/C in there or the hallways?

Very good location. Room was clean. Breakfast was fine. But shower needs more pressure. It will take you longer to finish because the water has low pressure.
