Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express for one night before the Camp Pendleton Mud Run. The hotel served its purpose as a place to crash before the race since we had to get up early the next day. Its located right off the freeway and there are a lot of restaurants and shopping areas around it. The front desk was... more

Several properties I've reviewed on TripAdvisor are acquisitions or conversions. Most on the lower end reflect nothing more than a paint job and logo slap-ons. This particular Holiday Inn Express, however, bests even the Best Western in Ontario, CA (which I gave four stars) for newly branded/owned lodging! Although I put part of my family up in this place for... more

We were in Oceanside for a paintball tournament over Veteran's Day weekend held at Camp Pendleton and after much research of the area, we chose the Holiday Inn Express because they offered free breakfasts and rooms with kitchenettes, although the drive to the Marine base was a little further than we thought (about 10 minutes). We arrived on Thursday evening... more

Our king suite was very spacious and clean. The breakfast area was a bit small for the size of the property and the food was typical for the brand. Our room was on an interior corridor but we noticed there were some rooms that were on exterior corridors. The secured doors were often propped open making us wonder about security... more

I agree with most of the reviews...this is a nice, clean, comfortable hotel. Our room was very spacious. The staff was nice and helpful.

This was a great value -- clean rooms, very comfortable beds & bedding, free breakfast & free wired & wireless internet access -- you can't beat that. Parking was a little tight as was table space in the breakfast room but neither was unacceptable. more

Just what I expected. Saw #1 rating for location and saw that hotel included breakfast and free internet. Free parking too. I would stay here again. more

Stayed at hotel one night on way from LA to San Diego. Had late arrival time at airport so decided not to spend $$ on a place simply to sleep. Used reward points for this one night. Room was spacious and clean. Our room faced the parking lot and highway but we weren't bothered by the noise. We walked to... more

Stayed at HIExpress January 23 for one night (here on business). Much nicer then the one I stayed in while in Orlando Florida..no comparison! The front desk was friendly and knowledgable! Yes, the parking lot is a little small..no biggie. Very centrally located to shopping and restaurants. Room was very spacious.. and extremely clean with no bad cleaning odor or... more
