Well, I wasn't too excited about this place after reading the reviews, but the location was good for visiting our friends. Easy freeway access to get around. I did ask to see a room first, it was ok, so went back downstairs to register. She then gave me another room, which kind of defeated the purpose of looking at the... More

I drive an 18-wheeler and after coming over the Rocky Mountains, my truck broke down. Dion International, in San Diego, sent us to the Rodeway Inn, in La Mesa, CA.

Staff is nice is about all the good I can say.

We just got back from a three day stay at the Rodeway Inn in La Mesa. We were very nervous because we could not find any reviews on it. The hotel was in a central location which made it easy to get to the sights we wanted to see. The front desk clerk (I did not get his name) was... More
