This is an older Hotel(Motel) which has gone thru several Ownership and Chains for 20 plus years. What the Hotel offers is Great Parking and several nearby first Class Dining experiences. No Rooms are on the first floor due to the Hotel Design which offers ample parking both below the Hotel Rooms and not in a Dark Basement but level... More

Stayed here for one night. Had a room facing the freeway, and it was loud traffic noise all night. It's a convenient location due to the freeway access, friendly staff, decent room with coffee maker, fridge, adequate bathroom. Did not have breakfast because we got there too late, but our traveling companions said it wad good. Other than the traffic... More

I choose this hotel when traveling to San Diego to visit family due to a death. Seems a bit tired, a little maintance is needed. Staff was friendly and efficient. Probably wouldn't come back. More

I was there for several days and it's location is great for getting around San Diego. Easy freeway access. Rooms are clean and reasonably spacious. Staff was helpful. The computer in the lobby was great for checking emails and making plane reservations. Complimentary breakfast was good, although wish they had more items for those watching their weight, i.e. hard boiled... More

The hotel is old with single glazed windows that open all the way with no screens. I could have jumped out of my 3rd floor window had I felt so inclined. Despite being at the back of the hotel we had a lot of freeway noise in the night and several fire alarms had us out of bed after 2... More

The hotel is fairly nice. Room seemed clean, loved having firm + soft pillows on the bed. The breakfast was fine (scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravey, toast, bagels, fresh cinnamon rolls. There were also some pancakes. The windows were not sound proof enough. Heard cars on freeway all night. There is a great Anthony's seafood restaurant just across the... More

The quality of this hotel is well below average. For the price I paid I expected a hotel slightly above average but this Holiday Inn seemed closer to motel standards. I'm used to high quality hotels, so maybe I'm just being biased, but this place looked like a dump in many ways. The TV didn't have movie-purchase ability, it was... More

I stayed at the HI Express - La Mesa for four nights while I was on a business trip. Maybe I was the last person to check-in for the single queen-sized bedroom. Regardless, I got the WORST room, which overlooked I-8. The hotel might as well be sitting in the middle of highway because the traffic buzzing by was incredibly... More

We checked in on a Sunday and as soon as we opened the door to our room you could smell cigarette smoke. Called the front desk and was told the prior guests probably smoked out on the balcony and some smoke had come into the room. Not true, the furniture smelled like smoke and was worn. The electrical outlet cover... More
