Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Monte402 Vacation trip to San Diego
My overall experience was AWESOME!!!! The staff was extremely helpful and nice my entire trip. We had an issue with our luggage arriving to San Diego and although it wasn't their problem they were very accommodating and made a bad experience better! I would stay there every time I visit San Diego! Big Thanks out to the Staff!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by USMCFAMILY4 Great Location & Service for MCRD Graduation
Our Son was Graduating from MCRD and we picked this property based on previous reviews and great amenities such as free shuttle to various locations in the San Diego area.
Kayleen and Ryan, two of the Front Desk team members. Just great --provided wonderful recommendations of area attraction, restaurants, etc
Will surely recommend this hotel for anyone traveling to San Diego, especially to MCRD!.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by rockylf Perfect!!
We picked this hotel because it was close to the cruise terminal, it had free breakfast, shuttle and parking. Vangie at the front desk was super nice. Everyone was great. We will be coming back the next cruise we have in San Diego. Everything was perfect, no complaints at all.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by marineraider Clean room and the best staff.
After staying in several hotels in San Diego over a 13 year period, I have found a home. I work at the Navy base in El Centro and stay in San Diego near the airport on my way home. I also work at the Marine base in Miramar. I look forward to my future stays, other hotels don't compare, the staff made the difference but I love the clean rooms with frig and microwave.

Great service from all the staff, good breakfast with a lot of choices. Everyone helpful and the shuttle took us to old town and came back later to take us back to the hotel. We will stay here again when we return to SD.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Happytraveler13 What a great place to stay.
We had a wonderful short stay prior to a cruise. Perfectly located near to the cruise ship docks and in Old Town. Clean, quiet, great service and a super breakfast and as if that was not enough a free shuttle to the docks. Thanks Holiday Inn Express!

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Citrus16 Clean room, comfortable beds
We were very pleased with our stay at your hotel. A very convenient location with free breakfast and pleasant and helpful staff made our stay very satisfactory. The room was super clean and the bed very comfortable. Could hear the traffic noise inside the room but with the fan on, it was hardly noticeable.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by BradB41 Fantastic Time
I was able to call and talk to a customer service person and she made my reservation so easy to do. She even told me about San Diego and things to do. I the flew into San Diego from Fairbanks, Alaska with a five minute wait for the shuttle (after I called the front desk). The driver picked me up and it was just a five minute drive to the hotel. The front desk staff were great and professional with maybe a three minute key and directions to my room. I liked the deli and the free coffee/USA Today at the front desk area. The free breakfast was from 6 am to 10 am, quiet and filling. My room was ready and the bed was so comfortable, pillow galore!! I recommend this hotel for everyone.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by rambler745 Nice Rooms
Have always good service from the desk. Rooms are nice/cozy; nice having fridge and microwave. My only complaint is that the internet can be really slow, not what I was expecting for San Diego. Only other issue you could run into is parking. One stay their free parking was almost completely full (I think I got the last one), however on the next stay there was plenty of spots, something to watch out for.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Harvey24 Staff very friendly and helpful
Our overall experience was good due to the friendly and helpful staff. Upon arriving was greeted and checkin was extremely efficient. They also advised us of their shuttle service which allowed us to leave our car and take the shuttle to Old Town or other places in San Diego. The room was refreshed- the bathroom was old but clean. Only complaint we had was the noise of the heating/air conditioner.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by MLJP Location location location
I had an early morning flight so I checked in to this location instead of having to travel from another hotel that was 20 miles away. It is a great location because it is just 5 minutes by complimentary shuttle to the airport. if you want to take a stroll to Old Town it is only about a 12 minute walk through a predominately residential area. Old town has several fun, reasonably priced eateries . The room was clean, quiet and well equipped. Wireless internet worked flawlessly. The staff welcomed me with open arms with a goody bag with bottled water and a snack.
I was able to use my Triple A membership to secure a reasonable rate. The check in was smooth and my room was ready at 3PM when I arrived.
Thank you Holiday inn Express Old Town San Diego

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by ILoveCruising Cruise Parking!
If you're taking a cruise out of San Diego return, this is the place to stay! It's an ordinary hotel but the staff are friendly and best of all you can leave your car in secure hotel basement parking for just a few dollars - MUCH less than you'd pay for cruise parking anywhere else.
And they take you to and from the ship on a free shuttle, no problems, no delays - highly recommended.

This hotel was very clean and in a good location. Parking is tight and the shuttle to Sea World only takes and picks up once a day. It is close to Sea World and the USS Midway Museum. Dispite the many homeless people walking around we felt safe. The breakfast was hot and fresh every morning. The staff was very nice. Overall I would stay again.

The staff at this hotel couldn't have been any nicer or more helpful. The rooms were very comfortable and the property well maintained. The location was a short walk to the Old Town Park and to the San Diego Trolly.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by sars Strong smell of Air freshener
This was our 2nd night at this hotel. There's always a strong smell of air freshener when you enter the room. You get a strong head ache when you smell that. There's no absolutely no need for this. The rooms are clean. The staff is good. The breakfast choices are not so great and are limited. Location is also good. Walking distance to Metro station. There's a McD and KFC next to this. There's also gas station right next to the hotel.Being a platinum member i did not receive my complimentary welcome package. I also had to ask for the video bonus point coupon. Giving only 2 stars for the air freshener problem.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by mocha Friendly, efficient staff
We have stayed here twice for business and will stay here again. It was great to be within walking distance of Old Town for dinner. This time we discovered Guadalahara Cafe for the best dinner we've had in Old Town. Our room seemed to be closer to the freeway which made it a little noisy. Last time we took the motel shuttle into Old Town, but this time the walk was great. It was also good to have free, secure parking and the motel is close to freeways and the Airport.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by gpadgett Excellent pre or post cruise choice
I stayed one evening before a seven day Mexican Riviera cruise and was extremely pleased with the value, location and especially the service. This hotel is within walking distance of everything in Old Town. The staff made excellent recommendations for nearby dinner (including a complimentary appetizer at a great place) and there is available, on site local complimentary transportation. The next morning getting to the cruise ship port could not have been easier and more stress free-- all arranged at the front desk. San Diego is an expensive lodging city and this particular hotel and location are a NOTICABLE value-- strongly recommend for cruise passengers, especially those without their own transportation.
I will use this hotel again for my pre or post cruise needs.

When a priority member arrives at 11pm, only wanting to rest.
Don't put me in a room that is 30 ft from the interstate. I could spit horrizontilly and hit a vehicle.
Check my history. This is not where I wanted to sleep tonight.
Jose moved me to another room which was perfect.
As you asked me to comment on this property..
Sell it .
I have an aweful taste currently. I could never stay multiple nights.
