9.4/10
Amazing
AAnonymous UserGreat location, quiet, right off the highway. It's really convenient for getting to UCSD and the shopping centers. Breakfast is included and has a good variety. The room has a pull-out sofa bed, and the kitchen is fully equipped, so you can cook. You can park right in front of your room, but if you have a lot of luggage, I'd recommend staying on the first floor since the second floor requires climbing stairs.

RRugaoshizhongyanghuayuanThe Holiday Inn stayed this time completely exceeded expectations! The room was cleaned spotlessly, clean and tidy everywhere, and the stay was particularly comfortable. The breakfast is super rich, hot dishes, snacks, and drinks are all available, and a full day can be opened every day. The most pleasant surprise is the surrounding environment, the air is fresh, and it is especially pleasant to go out for a walk. I will choose here next time!
Holiday Inn Express & Suites SAN DIEGO-SORRENTO VALLEY by IHG

JJames50The location of this hotel is very good, less than half an hour drive from several major attractions. There is also a Chinese restaurant nearby, which can be reached in eight minutes on foot. The pasta is very good. It may be located in the city center, or the hotel has a long history, the rooms are small, and the two large suitcases cannot be spread out; The shower water is relatively small, it seems that the scale of the faucet or water pipe is too much to cause blockage; the old-fashioned air conditioner sound is booming, and the air outlet is blowing directly against a bed. Valet parking service is very good, but you need to pay 50 knives a day.

__TS***MKHotel located in Little Italy. Very close to the restaurants and a walkable distance to bus and trolley stations.
Room is small but clean. Has a hair dryer and iron.
Did not seem to have room service included but it didn't bother me as I was only there for a short stay.
In general a great place for a solo traveller to stay for a short time.

GGuest UserI am very satisfied with all aspects of the hotel. It is very clean and the waiters are very good. It would be even better if the hotel's elevators were running normally! I will still choose this hotel next time I go there.

GGuest UserHotels in the hotel circle are generally good, with great competition. They are comfortable to stay in, have large swimming pools, and friendly service staff. It only takes 5 or 8 minutes to drive out to buy food, and it is also convenient to go to tourist attractions.

Llilian静A typical motel, traditional American breakfast, free parking! $ 50 deposit, cash is recommended, credit card refund has not been received for half a month!
It's very close to Ocean Park, just 15 minutes by car to the aircraft carrier! There is a 711 supermarket across the road. It takes about 15-20 minutes to drive to the Chinese supermarket!
Room was clean and overall good
