“Great location & exceptional customer service”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

We spent 5 nights here and were very impressed with the staff- Edemlie and Holly at the front desk and the manager (Andrew) made us feel like family. The King room (262) was very big, but the bathroom was a bit small. The free breakfast was great and the location is perfect- just a 5 minute drive to the beach... More

“Pleasant and clean”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

I stayed here in January and then again in early May. The rates were substantially higher for the same accommodation. Parking in the rear was blocked off for a special event, so the rest of us had a bit of a walk from the car to the room, especially if the room was toward the back. The room itself was... More

“Nice Place to Overnight”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We just needed a place to stay for two days, and found this Holiday Inn at a very convenient location just off the freeway (I-5). They worked with us on the price, so it was very reasonable. Cardiff is a fun, funky place to visit, but the accommodations in town by the beach are pricey and hard to come by.... More

We traveled for my grandson's graduation from the marines. We arrived around midnite and checked in, the checkin wasn't smooth, it took longer than anticipated and not sure why.

“This motel may have earned a poor rating.”

Reviewed 3 April 2013

In today's information age, there is no reason for this hotel's management to have chosen to take the low road to customer service. They have apparently chosen the cheapest of cable TV and internet providers. Travelers shouldn't have to wait 3 1/2 minutes to download 2.6 megabytes of information, and getting to a website should not take forever to connect.... More

Dear HarlanD505, We are very sorry you experienced issues during your stay with us this April. We are in the process of having the both the internet and the television service upgraded, and we apologize you were not able to properly use the internet during your stay. We hope to have these upgrades complete very soon, and we hope that... More

While traveling we hit a wall of driver's fatigue. We looked on Trip Advisor for a place to stay. We were looking for economy (we were just going to sleep and get back on our way) but were pleasantly surprised. This hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff were friendly and efficient. The price was very reasonable. The rooms and grounds... More

“Very good value, nicely run!”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

The HI Express in Cardiff-by-the-Sea offers tremendous value, and is a nicely run hotel. It's close to the 5 (I-5), making it a conventient place to stay for the Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Delmar areas. The included hot breakfast adds value. The room was nice (we had a king with sofa arrangement, that had decent room in it), and the... More
