Holiday Inn Express La Jolla - La Jolla

Clean rooms (probably recently remodeled). Surprisingly quite although the hotel is located by the main road. Few minutes from La Jolla downtown and very close to UCSD.

I read some of the negative reviews posted & I found NOTHING wrong with this hotel or it's staff. We even had a 1st floor room next to the road & we were comfortable. The breakfast was a pleasant surprise & the staff did a great job keeping it stocked & clean. Very friendly stay!

The hotel room needs a fresh coat of white or lighter paint, new carpet, and better lighting. The bathroom was nice but the room itself seemed old. The breakfast area was modern and lovely. Food was very good.

Has decent amenities and always nice to have free breakfast but property & rooms are not well maintained.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

5 minutes walking to nice beach, better than expected breakfast (included), and nice little pool for the kids, well maintained. Staff put phone calls on hold to help me several times, earning my eternal satisfaction. Someone has trained these people right. Definitely would stay here again....

In general I liked my stay, just think that the cleanliness of my room was very poor. the bathroom wasn't cleaned in 5 days stay. that is too much for me.!

Nice location, easy walking distance to beach. A bit noisy with being on a busy street though. First room they gave me was not very nice, but they accomated me with a better room.

This hotel was probably built many years ago but it is charming in color, gardens, pool and room. It has a tropical feel to it.

We had a great 2 day stay at holiday express in la jolla. We had a queen size suite. It was nice having that extra space. since im the one who wakes up early, I could go to the other room and read or watch tv while my husband slept in. Good location, clean and quiet. We would definitely stay there again.

We had booked a king size bed through Expedia, however, when we arrived we were informed that they didn't have king size beds at their hotel. They placed us in a room with two double beds. They were very apologetic and accomodating. The room was pleasant and right in front of the pool. The free breakfast was one of the nicest that we have experienced. […] Eggs, bacon, pancakes etc. I would definitely stay there again. Read more

The hotel was not close to the centre of La Jolla. The hotel did not have a map of the area and did not know where the visitor information centre was. It seems that they are not aware of tourist interests. Otherwise the hotel was very clean and breakfast was quite good with a really nice lady running this service.

The free breakfast was better than most. The hotel is an older one that was purchase and refurbished. Everything was clean and that is what is important to my wife. No exposed blankets (sheets below and above). That's how we like to roll! Everything was just fine except for the shower head which just dribbled out. It just needs to be changed and I can't […] imagine that no one else complained. We only stayed one night, so we just laughed about it and will save it for for a future family vacation story. La Jolla is awesome!! You should check it out. A short walk to the beach. Read more

This is a great deal at a a nice converted motel like property.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Clean, comfortable, and nice location. It's a little expensive though, I can recommend that you chose this hotel.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The place was great, especially for the price. It was easily $60/a night cheaper than all the other La Jolla hotels, which made it convenient. However, the internet went down on the second day I was there, to which I had work to do and wasn't able to do it because it still wasn't resolved by the time I left...

In the past 20 days I have moved into about 15 hotels, this Holiday Inn called my attention, because the decoration and the place where it is. Very well located, the staff is really nice, the room is big, with lcd 32", microwave and refrigerator. Very clean. There is a nice pool too. The breakfast is the same of all Holidays inn, with some hot & cold […] options. they have fre parking and free wifi too. Read more

The hotel was fine. Room was clean and staff helpful and pleasant. A block away from the beach shore and other essential sites and local transportation made it even better. I would definately stay there again. Although the breakfast left something to be desired...

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff were great. The hotel is in a good location at a reasonable price. Their breakfast was very good, nice variety. I will go back.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Excellent location and price. Staff is very nice. Could improve on the room maintenance and probably have some variety in the breakfast options. Stayed there for 4 nights...so was bit tired having the samething everyday.

I thought I would be sharing the room with a friend (who ended up not joining me) so I booked the two-queen room. It was pretty basic except for a larger-than-usual flat screen TV. The bathroom was pretty small with a nice tiled step-in shower, but I had to keep the exhaust fan going because there was an underlying odor that did not go away. Because […] the two beds filled up the room, there was no space for a chair which made for uncomfortable long-term sitting to watch TV or read propped up with pillows on the bed. (I have a bad hip, so over time this position becomes painful.) The hotel was much quieter than I expected, so that was a plus. Parking was free -- a rare find in La Jolla, and one of my reasons for choosing the hotel since I didn't want my friend (the no-show) to have to pay to park. A slightly better than basic breakfast was provided as well (although I discovered a hair much longer than my own on what looked like a very tasty cinnamon roll). Maybe a few rooms have the view that I had hoped for of the ocean, but my room overlooked the parking lot. It was at least a corner room with extra windows, and the parking lot (with nice trees) was better than windows facing interior walkways. All in all, the hotel is better than this particular review is probably making it sound due to very specific issues of mine, so read all reviews to help decide whether this is the place for you . . .

At check in staff were not very helpful, did not know correct check in time. Recommended restaurant across the street for lunch that was not open for lunch. Room tiny. Keys did not work, when replaced worked sporadically. Breakfast very good. Short walk to beach. AC very loud. TV good and nice to have microwave and fridge.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The room was more like a small apartment than just a hotel room so that was great for a family of 4. The A/C was only in the bedroom but the ceiling fan helped in the living room where the kids slept. The breakfast area and outdoor tables were very nice, but one was right outside our room and sometimes the people using it were too loud. Our room keys […] did not work, were rekeyed several times, and finally they replaced the keypad on the door. The pool was nice and attractive, too. Read more

Great price for the area! Free parking and breakfast were good. Nice stroll to the beach everyday. All-in-all was a good location and price. We would go back.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The front desk staff was very friendly, professional, and helpful. The proximity to the beach was fantastic. My room was comfortable for the most part, but beware the noise from the courtyard. Also my bathroom was crooked and so was my toilet so that part was extremely uncomfortable and awkward.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Good place. Would stay there again

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Our Bed was clean and it was comfortable but we had specifically requested a roll away for our 4 year old and when we got there they did not have one. The next night they brought in a childs mattress and set it on the floor. I guess its first come first serve for the roll aways even though I requested one when we booked it. I actually called ahead and […] said we would be arriving late and we will need a roll away for our child but they did not provide one. Read more

My teenage daughters and I spent one night in this hotel in a room on the first floor, facing the pool. The staff was very friendly and the hotel felt very safe. Parking is included in the price, which is not always the case in La Jolla. We were able to check in a little early and check out several hours later than the published time. There is a fridge […] and a microwave in the room. Breakfast includes several hot items (sausages, biscuits and gravy, omelettes) in addition to cereals, yogurts, oranges and bananas and bagels and danishes.The hotel is located within walking distance of the beach, in a friendly neighborhood. It is a great place to surf or watch surfers. There is a lifeguard on duty. There are quite a few restaurants nearby and the grocery store (VONS/ Safeway in Co) is about a twenty minute walk away.We definitely will go back to this hotel. It is a great place for families.

Comfortable, relaxing, easy access, in a beautiful area. Did i mention the minute and a half walk to the beach.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I Really enjoyed the staff, super friendly and helpful. My only issue was the room keys didn't work so well and I had to have them re-programmed twice. But again the staff was helpful and resolved the problem.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Good value, well located. This is the 3rd time we have stayed, and the rooms have been updated. Great shower, with instant hot water, good linens and pillows, ceiling fan was silent. Free internet. Refrigerator and microwave in room were nice to have. Good selection for breakfast served from 6:30-9:30 am. Good coffee and cinnamon buns, pancakes, cereals, […] fruits, juices,etc. Read more

We booked a room with 2 double beds and recived one bed and one pull out couch... They insisted that was what we had asked for. NOT what we asked for. Sheets and pillows were worn and needed replacing. Breakfast was disapointing.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was wonderful. Just a short walk from the beach. Very nice rooms with attractive landscaping and courtyards. The pool and hot tub were great. Free breakfast is beyond the ordinary with biscuits and gravy, sausage and bacon, eggs, and cinnamon rolls each morning. Staff was very friendly. Definitely want to stay here again!

Zakia especially was very helpful to us, providing extra towels and then finding tooth brushes for my sons when I realized they'd been forgotton.

The only critic is that the room key didn't work correctly and we spend 10 min to open the door every time

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was relay close to the beach and great walking distance to many mom and pop resturantants. My only complaints: 1. Door locks frequently would not open with the card keys and I had to make several trips to the front office for another set of keys only to find I needed to go back as the new set of keys would not work either. 2. The beds were […] smaller in size and made sleeping a bit of a challenge when you are of a larger and taller stature. My raves: Breakfast options were a great variety and pleased all members of my family. Definately will stay again. Read more
