This hotel is walking distance from Lucha Libre (featured on food network) and nothing else cool. At least not when it comes to walking distance. I paid $129 for my room and was quite unimpressed with it, everything else about this hotel is fabulous. 1. I could go on and on about how nice every single staff member was just... More

Pretty nice property over all, a nice plus is the underground parking. There are two buildings and in between is a patio with tables and chairs as well as the lobby area. Off the lobby is an impressive Holiday Inn Express mini mart, although I did not find any low calorie micro wave popcorn or other “healthy” snack items. I... More

A great place to stay that is both convenient to Old Town San Diego and the airport. When driving down the street, the hotel does not appear to have great curb appeal. But once you get inside, then you can see the difference. At first we were given a room next to the Interstate, but went back to the Front... More

I titled this a typical very good HIX because that is what it was. Most HIX are very good and this one did not disappoint. I saw some of the reviews on here and was a little reluctant but I am not sure why. Based on the rates for San Diego, I found this very reasonably priced. Our room was... More

We were received at the airport by shuttle driver "Josh". He was a very nice young man and could answer any questions that we had about MCRD and the area. When we arrived late the staff "Ryan" and "Hans" were there to greet us. These two guys are a hoot. They helped us feel right at home, they were very... More

Lovely room. Super close to Old Town and the airport. Nice decor - dirty floors (as I have come to expect in ALL hotels no matter the rating). Staff is incredibly friendly and was quick to recommend a wonderful sushi restaurant close by. As expected of HI Express - which is why you can't go wrong.

My wife, two of our three children and I selected this hotel based on its proximity to the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot (MCRD); our firstborn was graduating from Marine Corps boot camp. We arrived around 9pm and were greeted in a very friendly fashion by the reception counter staff, Ryan and a female employee (my wife was talking with the... More

Although the rooms at this property are a bit smaller than at other HIE hotels we've stayed at, they are nicely decorated and clean with ample storage and comfortable seating and are very quiet. Considering their location near the airport and next to a busy street, that's quite a feat. The design has rooms facing a courtyard, and even the... More

Commercial pictures make this hotel look good but for $145 a night it's not. Aside from the lobby looking very nice, it's only for showing because the rooms are nothing special and the breakfast is the worst I've ever had. Powder eggs and bacon that looks fake. I would expect to pay $80-$90 for this but not $145.
