Holiday Inn Express La Mesa Near SDSU by IHG

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

I was disappointed that during on-line reservation, I requested adjoining room but didn't get it. Yet, upon my arrIval/checking in, I was assigned to a room next to a vacant adjoining room.

location had no power or running hot water

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.

It was a bit noisy but not bad for a hotel.
