I arrived at the hotel early from my appt. I had stayed at one in another location the night before and was disappointed. I was tired when I went to the counter. Tesia told me my room wasn't ready yet. I asked if I could change clothes and use the exercise room. She said that would be fine. You need... More

We only stayed one night...but were very pleased. The room was immaculate and large. They sent us to our room with a gift bag, with water and microwave popcorn. We had both a small refrigerator and microwave in the room. Everyone was friendly and we will definitely stay again when we are in the area.

We have stayed at this hotel several times as my son lives down the street and we always are glad we did.

I stayed there with my family over Christmas and found it to be very nice and comfortable. The breakfast was decent, though the pancake machine was broken, which seems to happen more often than not at Holiday Inn Expresses. Get a waffle maker! Ok, staff was nice, price was nice, location was nice - close to Legoland and closish to... More

The hotel is in a very good position. Close to shopping center, grocery stores and a lot of restaurant. It is 10 minutes away from legoland and the beach of Oceanside that is a very nice place. The personnel is very nice and the room is not bad... just the building is old and would need a renovation.

I ended up leaving this hotel and going to another ... but, before I explain, I have to say that the staff (2 young women at the desk) were very accommodating and courteous. It is because of them that I give 3 stars. As far as the hotel goes. It is a motel take over. Some of the entrances are... More

I should have read reviews but I was on the road. I got upgraded to suite due to priority club status. Walked in and room smelled moldy. My husband walked over to turn on air and dust and dirt blew out into his eyes. Then it smelled awful. He even tried the other unit in the bedroom section. It was... More

The best I can say about this old and tired property is it was okay. Nothing impressed me. My room was on the second floor and I could hear kids splahing in the pool with the door closed and the A/C running. The property was functional, but certainly not fun. If I have to...I'll use this property again. But it... More
