This hotel worked very well for us. The drive to Seaworld is about 5 minutes and it only took us about 20 minutes to reach downtown. The hotel is very nice and the staff was very god to us. The rooms were nice and clean. It was very busy so breakfast was tough and couldn't find a seat. The pool... more

There is NO EARLY CHECK-IN....or so we were told. We had to sit around for over 6 hours to get our room watching other families get rooms ahead of us! It was unbelievable. And then when they finally were out of rooms they gave free meal vouchers to everyone whom they turned away - EXCEPT US. To us, they were... more

We stayed for 2 nights with our 2 little children so we could go to Sea World. I loved it. Lived up to and surpassed every expectation. It was extremely clean, friendly staff, nice linens on comfortable beds, a fridge and microwave in the room and even a hairdryer and tub in the bathroom. Just minutes from Sea World. Oh... more

Hotel is just off the freeway, not a great area for walking around, but good enough for an overnight stay to access the park - only 10 mins away at most. No freeway noise. Clean. Nice staff. Didn't use the pool. Breakfast quite good, a lot of choices. Garage parking. Good value for money more

I stayed at this hotel with my son on a visit to Sea World at the end of March 2008. I booked through the Sea World web site. At the end of the day at Sea World I called for directions to the hotel and the person who answered the phone could not tell me how to get there from... more

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights with two young children. While it is close to Sea World, what we did not realize when booking the reservation was that there are adult establishments on almost every corner in the surrounding neighborhood. It is definitely not a neighborhood to walk around in. When we arrived a huge convention was going... more

Stayed at the holiday inn express for 2 nights from christmas eve. This was probably the best hotel experience we had during our 10 day trip to Southern California and Las Vegas (bearing in mind that we were travelling on a budget). The staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. There was a varied choice on... more

We were a little bit scared when we drove to the hotel because we drove through a bad area with adult clubs and a somewhat industrial area. The hotel itself is nice and the staff is extremely nice and friendly. Everyone we met that works there was friendly and helpful. Free wi-fi in the rooms is really nice. The beds... more

My wife and I planned a little weekend getaway involving a stop in Encinitas on Friday and a day long visit to Sea World on Saturday. We chose this hotel because of the wonderful experiences we previously had. This is our third time at this hotel and it continues to be perfect for us in every way. As others have... more
