- AMAnthony MurraySep 7, 20255.0Had a great stay at this Holiday Inn Express and Suites. Everything was great including the smell of fresh melons due to them harvesting in the field next door. The only negative thing about the visit was low water pressure in the shower.
- DVDbiker VenturesAug 16, 20254.0I was surprised how nice the rooms were. It was also very close to In n out😋
- CTCarol TangAug 12, 20254.0Pros: Welcoming front! Clean and modern! Check-in process was quick and the receptionist was very helpful and polite! Breakfast area was clean and tidy! Good breakfast buffet aligned with Holiday Inn Express standard! Cons: The only complaint is the deceptive amenities advertised about the indoor swimming pool and pictures on all booking websites. The reception said it’s been closed and locked for six months with no updates. I visited Point Lobos Nature Reserve which I could have picked another closer IHG hotel with pool to relax after long hikes!
