Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Solana Beach-Del Mar, an IHG Hotel

Very close to a wonderful beach. The staff was great upon checking in and also the free breakfast was good and convenient. My favorite was the wonderful lady working the breakfast area. She was friendly and kind, kept everything very clean and the food and coffee well stocked. Pool area was nice as well. Water was clean.

The variety and quality of the breakfast was very good. Having a hot breakfast and pancakes all on self serve was a great experience. I like the fact it was so close to the Del Mar Trade Show. The pool look great but I did not use it. I'm glad it did not have an ocean view... it would have doubled the price for sure. The staff was very friendly! I liked the balcony seating area but I wish it had a nicer view than an empty dirt lot and parking structures.

Breakfast buffet had a great variety of hot and cold options, with coffee available all day. Location was excellent for our forays up and down the coast. It was nice to have a safe, easy place to park, though I would have been even happier if the $15 daily parking fee was included in the room rate. Room with nice sized refrigerator and sliding glass door to let in the lovely breeze was pleasant.

Quick check in late at night. Comfortable bed, breakfast was great with cheese omelets and friendly, helpful breakfast lady. The location was very convenient for my son's lacrosse tournament within a couple miles. Close to everything ~ beach, shopping, groceries, and highways. Room was clean. All staff was helpful in refilling any supplies and linens. Pool and hot tub was clean and good temperatures.
