This is an older Holiday Inn Express in a remote but busy place. Santa Nella is out in the middle of no where, near nothing, but on I-5 which is a major highway through the middle of California connecting Los Angeles with the San Francisco Bay Area. Santa Nella is one of those "oasis" type places with all the hotels,... More

Santa Nella is actually just a truck stop with several hundred trucks in the area at most times, and only 2 hotels. This property turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The staff was very friendly & helpful and the room was clean & spacious. The grounds are well maintained, and there was very little noise from trucks and roadway.

The service is very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are clean and average-sized, with comfortable beds. Each set of pillows has one labeled "firm" and one labeled "soft," which I liked. :) Nice big hot tub. The free breakfast is hot but... eh. Strong coffee, and the kids enjoyed the pancake maker, and they had fresh bananas. I didn't have... More

I wasn’t sure if we should stay there or not. I read the reviews and some were good some were bad. What I liked was that it appeared that the hotel had renovated recently, they had our beds were the best so far on our trip. We made a good choice. The room was spacious and we asked for one... More

Great hotel in the area, it was very clean, the staff were helpful and great places to eat all around you. The price was good for the room. The breakfast was outstanding, several options which was nice to have. The rooms were not noisy at all even being close to the freeway. Will definitely stay here again.

Stayed at many Holiday Inn hotels, but I have to say this one is one of my favorites. Hotel is nice and clean and quiet. Swimming pool is a nice size and in the middle of the complex of the hotel. Front desk is very friendly and the free breakfast is pretty good. In the evening, you can walk outside... More

This appears to be an older property that was recently renovated. Very clean and secure, conveniently located on I-5, near Los Banos and Gilroy cut-off to Hwy-101. Complementary breakfast included scrambled eggs, ham, (self-service) waffles, biscuits & gravy, bagels and assorted breakfast cereals, breads and fruits. Good assortment and quality, with hot items frequently replenished. Property is typical of most... More

We have stayed here on our travels north & south, yearly, for the past 10 years, but, as of last year, decided that the property was just too run down and unsafe, to continue giving them our business, & hard earned $. Be warned....they haven't fixed the jets in the spa for years. The pool may appear to be open... More

Holliday inns are usually a chain I can count on. This hotel however is way far below standards. The bathroom walls had a lot of mold on the walls and shower and the sink would not drain.

I'm not sure what people are looking for in a hotel, but this place was great. The room was large, well laid out, and spotless. The breakfast was hot & delicious. I didn’t even see a speck of lint on carpets, or a single leaf on sidewalks. Pool area looked very inviting, though we did not use it being February... More
