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

We had free parking and wifi. We checked in and went to our room. There was a musty smell but it had 2 double beds, a bedside chest, and office chair and desk, a television unit which housed a small flat screen television (cable channels), a fridge, microwave and a comfy chair. The bathroom had a showerhead over the bath.... More

Had high hopes when we drove into the parking lot of this HIE. The young man who checked us in (TeeJay) was very professional and friendly & recognized us as Priority Club members and gave us a very nice club "bag of goodies". The warm feeling left there. Hallway dark and peeling (old) wallpaper. There was a pretzel under my... More

Very disappointed in this hotel. The room, and in fact the entire hotel smelled musty and old. The rooms need to be updated, . towels were threadbare. Not up tp Hoilday Inn Express standards. This hotel was very overpriced for the condition it was in. Will not ever stay here again and do not recommend it.. I completed a survery... More
