Our experience with the Holiday Inn Express San Diego Sea World was fabulous. I booked a block of 22 rooms for a tennis tournament the junior players of our academy played in San Diego. The 37 players and the 5 coaches came back fascinated with the attention they received from the hotel staff. I want to give special thanks and... More

I rarely review hotels online, mostly because I think everyone's preferences and experiences are so different. But I feel compelled to give this hotel a great review, because it really was an excellent stay, and I feel others should know about it. First of all, every single staff member we interacted with was kind and provided great customer service. Second,... More

The breakfast served here was from 6-9:30am. I woke at 7 and I was hungry soon after I woke up but I had no desire to eat the complimentary breakifast because I "assumed" that it would be a cold breakfast of doughnuts and ceareal self serve. But by 9:15 my hunger drove me to get something...anything. To my surprise there... More

Robert was very accommodating when we got to the hotel to check in. Our reservation wasn't showing in the computer... More

From the moment we walk in to the moment we left every single employee was friendly and helpful. Elisa, in the breakfast room, was the amazing! She remembered us every morning, sat and talked with us, and even wished me a happy Mother's Day a week early! She was very sweet. Housekeeping ladies were so nice and helpful and Richard... More

This room was barely large enough for 2 people. Also very confusing layout. There are no Restaurants that we could find that you could walk to other than the 7 eleven, Sushi place and a Mexican takeout next door. The room was also missing the blackout curtains and the room was so small that anyone looking in from the outside... More
