Jenny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Will be going back!

We stayed here for 2 nights and it was amazing! They are remodeling the property so there weren’t ice machines and parking was messy, but they did waive the parking fees to compensate for it. The free breakfast was surprisingly decent. Quick walk to the beach, good food around within walking distance. Quiet slow paced area. It was exactly the get away we were looking for without breaking the bank :)

Hotel that is going thru a major renovation. Rooms bright and clean but as business traveler how are you supposed to get any work done with a trendy micro desk and a chair some designer came up with who has never sat at a hotel desk and done hours of computer work?
Douglas, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location, clean and comfortable. The room was huge. Staff was very helpful and courteous. The hotel is going through a rebranding / remodel and some areas are still in transition but the completed areas and rooms are great!

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!

Comfortable and friendly

Terrific staff make you feel welcomed and like you’re home. Lovely hot breakfast in the morning with good coffee. Rooms were recently renovated. Bedding is luxurious. L fantasticocated on the quiet part of highway101 central to all the beaches.
Jonathan, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty, poorly-managed hotel

Poorly-managed mess of a hotel. Property is dirty, plumbing doesn’t work, rooms smell like cigarette smoke, and stairwells are blocked in a way that is both inconvenient and presumably unsafe.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay and great service !

We had an amazing stay there! Very comfortable clean and lovely decorated rooms ! The location ois 5 min walk to the beach and also surrounded by short walk. To the restaurants ! Great location from Del Mar !
Alexandra, 1-night trip

Very comfortable. Will stay again!

We will definitely start here again. Very cozy and comfortable. They were in the middle of renovations but that didn’t interfere with our stay.
Daron, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Excellent hotel and distance from the Belly Up Tavern. Would definitely stay again.

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.
Ria, 2-night trip

The property is being renovated which we were unaware of when we booked. The rooms are nice and the area is perfect for the beach, fair, and restaurants. The staff was helpful above and beyond.

5 stars!

Such a charming hotel! Not too big, just the right size for a cozy and relaxing stay. It’s been recently renovated with a stylish boho vibe that feels both fresh and welcoming. The breakfast was absolutely superb, and the hostess was so warm and attentive. The manager was also incredibly accommodating. Plus, it’s only a couple blocks from the beach! Perfect location and a truly wonderful experience overall. Highly recommend!
