Clean room, great staff, great breakfast. Great parking. Can’t believe how great of a hotel Holiday Inn is. It felt like, a Hilton or equivalent to. Good job Holiday Inn, referring friends, family, and co-workers about my great experience.

Staff was great, super friendly. They are making upgrades to the property so we can’t wait to come back and check them out. There are EV chargers next door at the City Hall, which was very convenient. You CANNOT beat the location, a block from the beach!

6/10 Good

Great location and clean, refreshed room. There was a lot of construction going on (no elevator, lobby closed, downsized breakfast, workers everywhere). Once complete it will be nice, but it was surprising there were no advisories when booking the hotel considering there are no rooms on the ground level and no elevator access for a month.

Very clean and updated room, great breakfast, purified cold water in a dispenser for water bottles, conveniently located near Del Mar beaches and nightlife.

Property is currently being renovated and you can't use the stairs. Rooms have been renovated and look nice. Balconies look out onto a dismal parking lot/commercial area. The layout is awkward with the elevator located in the parking garage (no access from lobby). Please note, in addition to your room key, you need the elevator access key card that opens the door from the parking garage to get to the elevator. If you don't have this, you will be locked out.

The breakfast area was under construction but they set up a grab and go breakfast with lots of delicious options. Every staff member we interacted with was super friendly and helpful! The gym was also great and had plenty of free weights, cardio options, and extra accessories.

It was under construction and was not notified ahead of time. However, the rooms and location were great. The view out my window was bad- dirty abandoned parking lot vibe. I do think if the rest of the hotel turns out as nice as the rooms, this will be a great place to stay.
