The Holiday Inn hotel in Miramar, CA is close to a major business district that extends several miles west towards Sorrento, but also convenient for visitors to other San Diego area attractions due to the proximity of interstate 15, which runs by just to the east (access is from exit 14). Also nearby is the Miramar Marine Corps Air Station. The inn offers a superior standard of accommodation, with 155 rooms & suites on 6 floors, all containing a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker and ironing facilities. An above average continental breakfast is served, and for lunch/dinner there is a seafood restaurant right next door and a few others a short distance away along Miramar Rd. The hotel operates a complimentary 5 mile area shuttle.

Directly opposite the Holiday Inn Select, Best Western Inn Miramar provides lodging towards the cheaper end of the market, but with all the standard facilities including an outdoor pool, spa, free continental breakfast and guest laundry. Downtown San Diego is 14 miles south and the nearest beach (at La Jolla) is 9 miles west. The 104 rooms are on 3 floors, some with views of the courtyard area and pool.
