• The staff was friendly and helpful! I liked having a kitchen in the room.
• Noise from nearby freeway and people were making noise in the pool area in late hours.

“Great price and easy to find. The staff is super friendly. Liked the breakfast choices. Room is clean and comfortable. Didn't care for freeway noise.”

• The rooms are very big.
• Outside appearance and pool- small and old.

“The rooms are very roomy and clean! But if only look at outside most people will be disappointed because it's old and small also not very clean! But once check in to the room I was surprise how big and clean it was.”

• The staff was friendly and the continental breakfast was outstanding.
• The rooms were a little small, but they did include great kitchen amenities.

“This hotel met and exceeded our expectations. The rooms were clean and well-appointed with a full-sized fridge, stove, microwave, and kitchen sink. The front-desk staff was very helpful and provided maps and driving direction. The cont. breakfast was great as well. My husband said that the cinnamon rolls were, indeed, wonderful and a staff member was always present during breakfast hours - cleaning the area and refilling the food items. I highly recommend this hotel.”

• The sweet rolls were good.
• Everything else.

“The rooms are large, and there's a microwave and refer and couch, 2 TV¿s, and the bathroom/tub was rather large. However, the hotel is old, tacky and kind of dirty looking. Wouldn't stay there again.”

• The staff responded quickly and professionally to the problems we encountered.
• Housekeeping did not do their job in this room.

“The hotel is convenient to I-5 and close to shopping and the beaches. I expected higher quality accommodations from holiday inn express. We may be jaded because our stay started with many problems that were quickly corrected by the one staff person on-duty, to the best of her ability. I will try it again before crossing it off my list.”

• Make sure people can select how many beds they would need.
• Receptionist was extremely rude.

“I needed two beds since I was traveling with my older son and the hotel personnel wanted me to pay extra $22 dollars to make a change. I have never experienced this situation before - we always had two beds for the same price as for one king size bed. It was my first experience and it was extremely poor.”

• Large room; close to everything.
• Off loud busy street.

“I was surprised by how large our room was! The four of us had plenty of space to move around the king size bed even when the roll away bed was open. The staff was very friendly, even brought us several extra towels while we were out by the pool. The breakfast was very good with a large variety of items: fresh fruit, cereal, eggs, bacon, juice, yogurt and amazing cinnamon rolls! The hotel is right down the street from Target, Wal-Mart, Chuck E Cheese and other family friendly restaurants so there are plenty of options at mealtime. It was less than 10 minute drive to Lego land and Carlsbad beaches and shopping. We were very happy with our stay. We did have a 2nd story interior room, so we did not notice the traffic noise in the room with the air on. Don't know if that would have been bothersome in another room or with the air off, but we were fine (room 209)”

• Clean. Good size rooms. Fitness area close. Breakfast included.
• Heavy noise from the Freeway 78. Needs trees at side of building to screen some of that noise.

“Good hotel for a family on leisure travel. 1 mile to beach. 2-3 miles to Lego land. Target, Vans and lots of restaurants nearby. Front and west side of building are exposed to Freeway traffic. Better to have an interior room or one facing the golf course on the north side.”

• Clean, large room.
• This hotel is right beside the freeway.

“For the price, this is a great place to stay. The room was quite nice, with new furnishings, and very spacious. Our room was located in the middle of the hotel, and we did not hear the freeway at all. With those conditions, I would stay here again, without a doubt.”

• Never went.

“I have always had a great experience, but this trip... It was in the wrong area and I said 75.00 max.. and it gave me 100.00 They told me I messed it up, and had No customer service with me.. I canceled the hotel the day I booked it, and it was never canceled. My credit card was charged. I called again that day to make sure it is canceled before I was supposed to go, but I was put on hold for 22 minutes.”
