Holiday Inn Express La Mesa Near SDSU by IHG

The room was very comfortable. There were several dining options within walking distance. The staff was very nice and friendly.

The location was great. Staff was nice for the most part. The room was very nice and clean. There was always parking available. Several entry and exits.

Special SHOUT-OUT to KEITH, MIGUEL and STEVEN of FD for making my stay home away from home, BUSHRA of HSKP for keeping my room clean. These people are so awesome for helping my needs at anytime, always ready to help above and beyond.

We chose this hotel for its location, it is close to the Zoo and downtown. The staff was friendly. The room was about average, the A/C worked really well, but it was only like 65-71 degrees outside the entire time we were there so no major accomplishment. The water pressure in the shower was not great, and it was difficult to get truly hot water. There is no daily housekeeping unless you specifically ask for it.

Probably the best thing about this hotel was the complimentary breakfast. The had a great variety each day, banana nut muffins were awesome, they actually had a yogurt dispenser which was really cool for making yogurt parfaits. They also had grab & go bags which we used our last day since we had to leave early.

We booked the hotel months in advance so we knew what the nightly rate was (along with the additional $20 parking fee). As frequent travelers we still felt that the price was excessive all things considered. There were a couple of days when it seemed there was hardly anyone staying at the hotel... I would recommend the hotel find a way of including the parking fee into the nightly rate or somehow lower their room rates, for a lot of travelers those things are a major turn off.

We would probably stay there again, but only after we carefully considered all other options.

Breakfast are great. Not too little and not too much, just right :)

Over all stay was pleasant. Rooms were clean and had all that was needed. Microwave, coffee maker and small fridge. Parking was tight. We parked in a back alley way. We were given room 160, first floor which was great since the elevator was out of service. Unfortunately first thing in the morning we realized this room is next to a utility room which is entered from the outside of the building. The noise from this room was loud. Nothing could be done as I am sure it was just the staff preparing for their day. Honestly it felt as though they were actually in our room. Aside from this we would stay there again requesting a second floor room.

A very peaceful stay! Hilton-adjacent quality for half the price.

Best place to stay in San Diego

I was impressed with selection and quality. That pancake machine was fun.

I'd stay here again because the place is really convienent. There's a 7/11 and gas right next door, surrounded by places to eat, and a Costco across the street. It's centrally located to everything in San Diego and freeway access is close but not right next to them. All the staff were very nice and friendly. The room is nice the beds are real comfy, and the breakfast is good. BUT....the bathroom faucet barely had water flow coming out of it, the water temperature was never barely above luke warm, the shower water pressure was throttled back to massive drought conditions, The drain in the sink is bizarre, in that the drain plug screws into the drain and you have to manually twist the plug out of the drain pipe to get the sink to drain water and then the plug comes out and the bottom of it is pretty gross looking. I have never seen anything like that arragement, strange. The tv is a smart tv but it is difficult to figure out because most of the 'smart' features are shut off, I couldn't get the free WiFi to work, and tney don't clean up your room or give you new towels unless you tell them and worse is they don't tell you about that or have any sort of notification in the room, there is only a very very small placard at the front desk to let you know about it, if you even see it. They don't even let you know how to go about getting a room cleaning appointment. The room has no blookets or papers to tell you about how to operate their strange tv, or making a room cleaning appointment, or even what to do if there is an emergency like a fire, or needing police or paramedics. Like I said, I'd stay again ....but.

The staff was friendly, great location, and a good breakfast.

Room was clean and well lite. Housekeeping staff were very efficient in cleaning the room. Wifi is super fast. Location is convenient. Low noise area.
Continental breakfast is awesome.

The Holiday Inn Express in San Diego La Mesa is excellent—super clean, with friendly, professional staff. The breakfast is great, the rooms are comfortable, and I felt completely safe. A big thanks to Diana, the housekeeper, for always being so helpful and thorough!
