The hotel accommodations are very average along with the food and the coffee. The parking was ridiculously expensive at $16 a night. At $252 a night way over priced especially with the parking cost

The hotel is in a great location, but run down-no place to hang towels in bathroom, room air-conditioner from floor above us major leaking all over the patio, carpet’s really bad! Also no easy access to the ocean unless you had a car!

Room needs a facelift, and the elevator does too!
I would have to rape this place, a six out of 10. Number one issue. Was it the toilet in the room. It did not flush properly. Management was nice and gave us one night parking free and that was great. Desk chair seat was old and frayed. The carpet in the hall did not give a good first impression. The elevator took forever for only three floors. Maybe they were fixing it when we left so we got to drag our luggage down two flights of stairs. our previous night had been spent at the San Diego airport, Holiday Inn express, and there was no comparison that was much better than the one in Solana Beach. It’s too bad because we like the area, but we will probably not be going back to the Holiday Inn express in Solana Beach.

What a great hotel! Centered close to the beach and shopping in Solana Beach, it is easily walkable to restaurants and shops. Holiday Inn Express was clean, comfortable, and quiet; 3 things I look for when booking a room. You won’t be disappointed if you reserve a night here!

The carpet throughout property is so dirty and stained that you cannot tell what color it is supposed to be. There were fruit flies in my room, the shower was dirty and my feet stuck to something the first time I used it. In the room for breakfast, the floors are dirty with spilled food. The floors have not been mopped. The carpet needs more than a vacuum and hard floors need mote than a broom.

The shower and tub area had mold and rust. We could not use the balcony due to the water that was dripping and puddling from the a/c unit of the room above us. There was no curtain set only the shear curtains and the lights from all the buildings around shined into the room and left no privacy. Our a/c unit was extremely loud. The hotel staff was very helpful and nice.

They don't really value guests.
We wanted a place close to the beach that was not insanely expensive. Price wasn’t great, stay was ok. Hotel was tired and looked like they were staging material in the parking lot for upgrades. Door to room was hard to close, phone in room did not operate, staff at front desk were not happy about asking for a later checkout.
