Staff and Management were great. Very Clean property and rooms. The service there is brilliant. Great location. more

Stay away from this HIE. Worst customer service I have ever encountered, good luck complaining. The manager (or so he claimed) is as rude as they come. Rooms are unkept, maid service in consistent. I was hoping it would be a decent place for me and colleagues here on business for next few months but no cigar. I wish I... more

We stayed in this hotel in August 2008. It was a nice hotel for the money, especially in this area. Clean (even the bathroom and beds), quiet and comfortable. They give you a nice breakfast, yogurt, boiled eggs, bacon, pancakes. I would stay here again. We walked to the race track and back. The beaches in this area were awesome.... more

We had such a wonderful time when we stayed here. We had a room overlooking the pool and jacuzzi and were able to sit on the balcony while our kids were swimming. Our room had a microwave and fridge which was nice since we stocked up on sodas/goodies and the breakfast in the morning was surprisingly good. We had scrambled... more

We stayed at the HI Express Solana Beach as we had tickets for a concert at the nearby Belly Up Tavern (which was unfortunately cancelled, but that's another story) just for one night. We paid around $100 and got a decent night's sleep in comfortable beds and the complimentary breakfast was plentiful and included hot items as well as the... more

I usually stay at the Courtyard next door, but it was booked up so I tried the Holiday Inn Express. The hotel lobby was small, but the staff greeted me quickly and called me by my name. It went down hill from there. They put me on the third floor in the back (they said near the ocean, but you... more

The hotel does not enforce its non-smoking areas. Don't be surprised to find broken fixtures, air conditioners incapable of cooling the room, noise when you're trying to sleep, paper thin walls between the rooms (forget privacy), and housekeeping staff that is either incompetent or apathetic. The management is, however, very good at apologizing. Apparently, it is a well honed skill. more

Called several times as we had 3 adults and 2 children and we needed an extra bed or room which we were willing to pay for. Upon arrival they said they were sold out and could not do anything for us but managed to charge us extra for additional people in room. They found a rollaway that reeked of smoke... more

This was a decent place to stay for the price, but if your looking for atmosphere and beachfront rooms, this is not the place. We have 5 in our family so its sometimes hard to find a place that you can sleep 5 in a room, so this place was good for that. The beach was about a 5 minute... more
