Great hotel for Marines graduation.
Our stay at the Holiday Inn Express was for a Marines graduation and the hotel was fantastic for this.
Shuttle to/from airport and Shuttle to/from Marines base everyday meant we didn’t have to worry and making arrangements.
Walking distance to San Diego old town (if you don’t want to take their shuttle) made getting there and back easy.

Very Pleasant Stay
We stayed at the hotel the night before we left to fly home. We dropped our luggage at the hotel and then returned the rental car. The hotel van picked us up from the car rental center and we used the hotel van to get to the airport in the morning. The hotel staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a great time chatting with the reception staff and other hotel guests in the reception area.
