Pros +
- Breakfast wasn't the best but they did have bagels and cream cheese.
- Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Del Mar-Solana Beach was a lovely experience from the moment I drove in.Manager, Iris Molina and the entire front end team are incredible. The property is undergoing renovation however each area where upgrades are being addressed are immaculate with a quiet and tidy crew.The Breakfast Grab N Go selections are terrific!Hot Cinnamon Rolls, fresh fruit, cereal, bagels and morning toasted bread options, yogurt, hot oatmeal with delicious toppings, fresh juice options and breakfast sandwiches are a plus! The coffee is attended and consistently fresh brewed under the watchful and Cheery Abby.Walking distance to fun cafes and the beach.Every corner of this property is clean.
- Excellent attentive TEAM!!
