Hesperia Getaway: Unbeatable Deals at Holiday Inn Express & Suites!
Okay, let's dive into this Hesperia Getaway at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites, shall we? Buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your average hotel review. This is… something else. We're going deep, getting messy, and maybe, just maybe, finding the perfect stay.
Hesperia Getaway: Holiday Inn Express - The Good, the Bad, and the Unexpected (and SEO-Friendly, Darn It!)
Alright, first things first: Accessibility. Gotta respect a place that thinks about everyone. Wheelchair accessible? Check. Elevator? Double check! That's HUGE for folks with mobility issues. Now, I didn't roll in myself, but the reviews and the presence of these things are a really good sign. Plus, all those facilities for disabled guests… hopefully, they're as good as they sound on paper.
The Internet - A Love/Hate Story (Spoiler: Mostly Love!)
Okay, so we’re living in the digital age. Internet is a MUST. The glorious Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! is music to my ears. But let’s be REAL. Wi-Fi can be the bane of your existence. I’ve been trapped in hotel rooms with connections slower than a snail on molasses. So, how is the Wi-Fi, exactly? They offer Internet access – LAN too, which is old-school cool; a godsend for those who like to work with a connected wire. Really helpful with business.
Rooms: My Temporary Home (and Possible Drama Den)
Now, the nitty-gritty: the rooms. They've got the usual suspects: Air conditioning, Alarm clock (who actually uses these anymore?), Coffee/tea maker (essential!), Hair dryer (yes, please!), and a Refrigerator (awesome for stashing snacks because, let's be honest, airport mini-bars are highway robbery). I love the Blackout curtains - a MUST. Also, it's great to know they have Non-smoking rooms. Gotta protect the precious lungs.
Cleanliness and Safety: The Big BUTTERFLY Hug
Okay, this is where I get really picky. Forget the pretty pictures; I need to know if they give a damn about cleanliness. And, thanks to Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Daily housekeeping, Hand sanitizer EVERYWHERE (thank you, post-pandemic world!), and Rooms sanitized between stays, I'm reasonably reassured. They even have Sterilizing equipment. They also offer Room sanitization opt-out available. I like choices!
Dining, Drinking and Snacking: Fueling the Adventure (With a Side of Regret)
Breakfast [buffet]. Oh, the siren song of the all-you-can-eat. And at this place they offer both Western breakfast and Asian breakfast, now that I like. And look, they also have a Restaurant. I'm a fan of the classics: Coffee/tea in restaurant, and of course, a Snack bar.
Now, here’s where it got interesting (and I had one hilarious bad moment). I was really craving a burger. The A la carte in restaurant situation promised a decent one, and I settled in with my laptop, ready to work. The burger was… well, it was a burger. Nothing to write home about, but hey, it was fuel. But, and this is the funny part, I forgot my phone and couldn't order anything from room service.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (Or Not, Depending on Your Sanity)
Okay, let's get real. Swimming pool [outdoor]? Score! It's a Holiday Inn Express, not a luxury resort, so don’t get your hopes too high. This is a place to relax; they also have a Gym/fitness. The Fitness center. I like to pretend I go to those.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Make a Difference
- Air conditioning in public area — duh.
- Cash withdrawal. Super helpful.
- Concierge — always a good thing for advice on local eats.
- Convenience store — for the inevitable forgotten toothbrush.
- Food delivery — thank goodness!
- Luggage storage — essential for that post-checkout wander.
- And the ultimate convenience: Daily housekeeping.
The Perfect Stay Unveiled: A Quirky Anecdote and a Heartfelt Plea
Okay, so I'm not going to lie: My stay wasn't flawless. There was that burger incident. But you know what? The staff was exceptionally helpful. They listened to the stories; they were just, good, kind people.
My Crazy Advice
- Accessibility: If you need it, it seems like Holiday Inn Express is quite good.
- Dining: The breakfast buffet is your friend.
- Internet: Hope the Wi-Fi is strong, because it's essential.
- Safety: They're taking things seriously, which is comforting.

Tokyo's Chicest Shared House: Shinjuku's Hidden Gem (Slight Light 01)
Alright, buckle up buttercups! This ain't your perfectly curated travel blog. This is me trying to survive a stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Hesperia, by IHG, in the glorious (and I use that term loosely) land of Hesperia, CA. Let's see if I can make it through without tearing my hair out.
The Itinerary: Hesperia Hustle (aka, Surviving Suburbia)
Day 1: Arrival & Immediate Regret (Kidding! Mostly.)
- 1:00 PM: Arrive at Ontario International Airport (ONT). You know, because you think you're a smart traveler. I'd booked a flight into Burbank, but, life, and the universe, had other plans. The drive to Hesperia… oh God, the drive. It's like the desert swallowed a strip mall, and then regurgitated it onto the highway. I swear, I saw a tumbleweed wearing a "Best Western" t-shirt. (Anecdote: My GPS, bless its metallic heart, decided to take me on a "scenic route," which was just a gravel road that looked like it hadn't seen a car in a decade. Let's just say, my rental car's suspension is intimately acquainted with every pothole in the area.)
- 2:30 PM: Check-in at the Holiday Inn Express. Lobby seems… adequate. The air conditioning is blasting, which is a plus, considering I’ve been subjected to the desert sun already. Praying the room isn't on the third floor.
- 2:45 PM: Room check-in: It's… fine. The bedspread looks like it's been through a civil war, but hey, the sheets are clean (fingers crossed). The TV works, that's a win. (Observation: The vending machine in the hallway smells faintly of regret and stale chips. I'm tempted…very, very tempted… but I'll probably pass. For now.)
- 3:00 PM: Unpack. Or… try to. The closet situation is… limited. Where's the space for my life? Where are the hangers? Are there any hangers?!
- 3:30 PM: Explore the hotel amenities – which are, to be frank, very, very basic. The gym looks like it's hosted more dust bunnies than muscle-heads. The pool is… well, it’s a pool. I might venture in tomorrow.
- 4:00 PM: Gotta find food. Yelp suggests…uh…fast food. The options are bleak, people. Bleak. There's a Denny's? Maybe. I’m really, really hoping there's a decent taco truck nearby. (Emotional Reaction: This is where the "I'm on vacation, I'm relaxed!" persona crumbles. I'm hungry. I'm tired. And I'm staring into the abyss of a Hesperia dinner selection. Need. Tacos. Stat.)
- 6:00 PM: Dinner Debacle: After a half-hour drive (the taco truck wasn't worth it), I resigned myself to the Denny's. I got a burger. The bun was dry, and the fries were lukewarm. The waitress, bless her heart, looked as weary of life as I felt. (Imperfection Alert: I forgot to tip. I'm the worst. I'll make up for it tomorrow. I swear.)
- 7:30 PM: Back at hotel. Contemplating the meaning of life. Maybe I'll watch some TV. Maybe I'll just stare at the ceiling. (Quirky observation: The ceiling is almost an attractive color. Close but no cigar.)
- 9:00 PM: Sleep. Eventually. I'm praying I don't wake up with the feeling of “something” crawling on me.
Day 2: Desert Adventures (or at least, trying to find them)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up slightly too early. The sun beams through the curtains. The coffee in the lobby is… coffee-ish. I try to force down an instant oatmeal packet. It tastes like sadness. (Emotional Reaction: I miss my good coffee. I miss my real oatmeal. I also miss my dog.)
- 8:00 AM: Attempt the hotel gym. It's… still dust bunny central. I manage a brisk walk on the treadmill as the other hotel guests watch me like I am made of some sort of alien DNA.
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast run. I remember a little bakery somewhere. Driving to the bakery (or whatever I can find), I passed a herd of cows. I thought to myself how weird it really is.
- 10:00 AM: I found the bakery and ate.
- 11:00 AM: Decided to visit Silverwood Lake. It’s supposed to be pretty! The drive is actually kind of nice. Lots of green. I like green. (Rambling: Oh man, the lake. Okay, okay, it was beautiful. The water was sparkling, the mountains were majestic. But, and there's always a but with me, right? There were SO many people. Everywhere. Kids screaming, dogs barking, the general cacophony of outdoor bliss. Reminded me of a beach vacation… which I hate.)
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at a picnic table by the lake. Sandwiches were… fine.
- 3:00 PM: Return to hotel. Realized I forgot my sunscreen. Should have just stayed in my room.
- 4:00 PM: Do a load of laundry. The hotel laundry's machine does not seem to work correctly. I am not used to doing laundery.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. Sigh. Tacos. I found a decent taco truck! The carnitas were glorious. The salsa, spicy! (Doubling Down: This taco truck experience deserves its own paragraph. The truck was a little beat-up, the line was long, and the guy taking orders was wearing a cowboy hat and a grin that could melt glaciers. The tacos… Oh, the tacos. The tortillas were warm and fluffy, the meat was perfectly seasoned, and the cilantro and onions were fresh. It was pure, unadulterated, taco heaven. I almost cried.)
- 7:30 PM: Back at the hotel.
- 9:00 PM: Sleep.
Day 3: Departure & Final Thoughts (Mostly Negative)
- 7:00 AM: Wake.
- 7:30 AM: Breakfast.
- 8:00 AM: Pack.
- 9:00 AM: Checkout.
- 9:30 AM: Drive back to Ontario.
- 11:00 AM: Flight.
Final Thoughts: Would I come back to Hesperia? Maybe. Would I stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites again? Probably. It’s clean, it's functional, and it’s a place to rest my head and a place for tacos. But let's be honest, this trip wasn't about the hotel, or even Hesperia itself. It was about surviving, about finding the little moments of joy in the mundane, and about the simple pleasure of a damn good taco. And hey, maybe that's what matters most. (Opinionated language: This hotel is fine. This town is… a town. But the tacos? They're the real deal. Go for the tacos!)
Clearwater Beach Bliss: Unbeatable Deals at Holiday Inn Express!
Okay, so you're thinking about Hesperia Getaway at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites? Buckle up, buttercups. Let's get this thing sorted out, 'cause trust me, I've been there. More than I'd like to admit, actually...
1. Alright, spill the beans! What *exactly* is this "Hesperia Getaway" thing? Sounds a little... generic, doesn't it?
Okay, fine. It's basically a deal. A deal to stay at the Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Hesperia, CA. The 'Getaway' part is just fancy marketing, I think. My first thought? *Another* weekend in Hesperia? Sigh. But, the price… the price was right. I needed a cheap staycation. And listen, sometimes 'generic' is exactly what you need. You know? Reliable. Predictable. And hey, they got a pool. More on that later...
2. Is it *actually* a good deal? Like, seriously? I'm on a budget, you know? My kid eats more than I do…
Right?? The budget struggle is real. Generally, YEAH. It's a good deal. Compared to other hotels in the area, especially factoring in the *free* breakfast (lord save you from my kid's breakfast demands!), it's usually pretty solid. I remember one time, trying to book a last-minute trip to see my Aunt Mildred (long story, involving overripe avocados and taxidermy...we'll skip it), and the Hesperia Holiday Inn Express was practically the only reasonably priced place left. Thank the lodging gods. Just… don’t expect the Ritz. Expect clean, comfy, and a decent price. That's the goal. Compare prices *before* you commit, obvs.
3. What's the catch? There's always a catch, isn't there? Is the room secretly haunted or something?
Okay, so about the catch… No ghosts, that I’ve encountered, *knock on wood*. The catch, if there is one, is... it's Hesperia. Look, I love Hesperia in a "it's a place and it has its own unique charm" kind of way. But it’s not exactly a bustling metropolis. The 'Getaway' aspect relies on *you* making it a getaway. Exploring the local parks, maybe a drive to the mountains, or even finding a decent burger joint (which, surprisingly, Hesperia does have!). The hotel itself? It's solid. Clean rooms, friendly staff for the most part (I did have one interaction with a desk clerk that was… let's just say, "brief"), and all the standard amenities. So the "catch" is really just the location. Manage your expectations and bring your own fun. And maybe some good books. Definitely bring good books.
4. Tell me about the breakfast! This is crucial. My family *lives* for free breakfast.
Oh, the breakfast. Here's the thing. It's complimentary continental breakfast. Think: waffles (always a kid pleaser), cereal, oatmeal, fruit (sometimes), yogurt, bagels (usually stale), toast, and the dreaded AND ALWAYS OVERCOOKED scrambled eggs and sometimes sausage. It's… adequate. It's not gourmet. It's not a *reason* to go to Hesperia. But my god, it’s *free*. And it keeps the tiny humans fed and (mostly) happy, which is half the battle, right? The coffee is… well, it's coffee. Drinkable in a pinch. My best advice? Get there early. Before the chaos. And bring your own syrup for the waffles. Trust me on this.
5. Speaking of chaos... What are the rooms *actually* like? Are they clean? I've stayed in some questionable hotels in my time…
Okay, *this* is important. The rooms are generally pretty clean, but... okay, *here's* my messy, honest anecdote. I stayed there once, a solo trip, needed some major "me" time. The cleaning lady was very nice. I even told her to take her time, no rush. I was getting ready to enjoy my perfect moment and was gonna soak in a massive bath. I get into the shower and start the water and, get ready for the real kicker, *the water pressure was next to nothing.* I could feel the very air of disappointment. It trickled, it dribbled , and that was it. I called the front desk, they sent someone up who fixed it and I finally got my shower. But for a brief moment, I felt like my whole trip was ruined. Other than that! They're clean. They have all the usual suspects – comfy beds (usually), a TV, a mini-fridge. The decor is… standard. Think beige and calming. Don't expect a luxury suite, but you can absolutely survive. And hey, cleanliness is key, and they generally deliver on that. Just… check the water pressure first thing. Please. For me.
6. What about the pool and gym? Are they any good? My kids are sharks in the pool!
Right! The pool! That's a highlight, usually. It's outdoors, and in the California desert that means it's pretty much a non-negotiable for kid-friendly fun. It's not Olympic-sized, but it's big enough to splash around in and let the little ones burn off some energy. Sometimes, it can get crowded, especially on weekends. The gym? Well, I'm not a gym rat, but it looked…gym-y. Treadmills, a few weights, the usual suspects. Nothing fancy. I've taken a peek. They have towels. That’s important. Just don't make any grand fitness plans. It's there if you *need* it, but it's not the main event. The pool, though? That's your MVP.
7. Is there anything to *do* in Hesperia besides stay at the hotel and eat complimentary breakfast? Or do I need to bring my own entertainment?
Okay, this gets to the heart of it. See, this is where the "Getaway" part comes in. Hesperia itself isn't exactly brimming with amusement parks or world-class museums. But you can drive. You can venture out! There are parks, hiking trails (nothing demanding, mind you), and some decent restaurants (check Yelp!). Victorville isn't far, and offers more options. Seriously, if you are there for, say, a work trip, you might feel a little stuck. If you are not the sort to go to the mountains and be adventurous, you might quickly go stir-crazy! If you are *into* relaxing, reading books, watching TV, and enjoying a slower pace? Perfect! Honestly, the hotel is a comfortable basecamp. Bring board games, books, maybe a pack of cards. And definitely, plan some day trips. Drive up to the mountains, visit the Mojave River, check out a local farmers' market (if there is one!). The *Getaway* is what *Hotel Hop Now
