Holiday Inn Express Solana Beach-Del Mar by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Solana Beach-Del Mar by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"The external parts look a little weird right now, and the pool is closed because it's under construction. But the room was freshly renovated and very comfy. The rooms are small as far as I can tell, as it is a small hotel and it is in a very high demand area. But for the size it was lovely. And perfect for my needs. Very very clean and comfortable Very very clean"
