We stayed here for one week and we had a wonderful time! We will definitely stay here again! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483313 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483314 Good room. Liked everything. Clean and they have great staff. We got there late at night and there was no problem. The restaurant with the comp breakfast was great too. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483314 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483315 Since this hotel is being remodeled, the room I stayed in was Brand New and extremly clean. It is one of the nicest rooms I've stayed in. They are still going through some of the remodeling and need to finish up the front entrance but other than that, it was well worth it. The best thing about it is that all of the rooms are 100% non-smoking! Also, very easy to get there, right off the freeway. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483315 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483316 To begin with, this hotel is showing it's age and looks a little shabby in general. The breakfast was pretty limited in selection and the pastries were a bit dry. But the worst part is the bugs we found in our bed the next morning. So not only was the mattress like sleeping on a piece of plywood with a mattress pad, it contained livestock. When I complained to the desk worker, I was ignored. We won't go back and as for staying with this chain again, probably not. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483316 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483317 We have been staying here for off and on for several years. It is convenient to the Alvarado Hospital where I have to go. In the late 80's the first time we stayed, the beds were very hard and uncomfortable but as of last month there has been a great improvement. The rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is adequate but nothing to write home about but then you are not paying outlandish prices for a place to sleep either. Unless things change we will be staying there on future hospital visits. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483317 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483318 I was not impressed. I shouldnt have expected to be impressed but this place was way under the bar of my expectations of a 2 star hotel. The customer service was good but the hotel was dingy and nasty. I know they are remodeling part of the hotel but the rest of the building looked as if they tryed to remodel and stopped in the middle. The main elevator was dirty and the hallways were dingy. Our room had a refridgerator and microwave which was nice. Some of the wallpaper was missing and most of the rest of the wallpaper was hastily glued back onto the wall. There was the biggest mystery spot on the carpet and if you walked anywhere near it your socks stuck to it. The water in the shower switched from hot to cold so you had to do the hokey pokey to wash your hair. The beds are also very uncomfortable. I wish that hotels would understand that people stay there to sleep. The deadbolt button didnt work so I had to place my luggage in front of the door to make me feel safer. I also belive there was a pimp working out of the hotel. I saw him every day (3 days) he had a big old cadallac parked in short term parking, and wore a lepord print outfit. He was always walking around outside smoking a cigar. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483318 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483319 Bathroom was not cleaned when we arrived. Towels were not hanging on the racks. Overall cleaniness can be improved. Charged for a "Safe Warranty" item, which the staff did not tell us about. Be careful, and tell them not to charge you for it ! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483319 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483320 Most all of the hotels I have seen in Downtown San Diego are over-priced for what they offer, and everything on hotel circle is so loud from the freeway. I don't mind the extra 5 minutes drive to La Mesa. The breakfast is good and the rooms are large and clean. I always ask for the top floor in the back, it is very quiet. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Holiday_Inn_San_Diego_-_La_Mesa/r483320
