I was here for work I needed something near el Cajon , I did not find anything better than a holiday inn express. I saw the sighs in the parking lot saying something like: park at your own risk... At check-in I asked the Mexican girl what that was about her response was : you have nothing to worry about... More

This is the first time we have taken the time to write a review. We are a couple from the mid-west in our late 70s and enjoy our comfort at a reasonable price while our expectations for service is quit high. The Holiday Inn Express in La Mesa exceeded the price expectation while service, particularly staff interaction, was excellent. Ms.... More

The hotel itself was clean and comfortable. Free breakfast is offered. The people at the front desk were friendly and helpful. The pool was rather small. It was located close to Grossmont Center where many stores like Walmart, CVS, Starbucks, etc are accessible. There is also a food court for dining with many different restaurants. The location is far from... More

I thought the hotel looked charming from the outside, but the rooms were outdated even though the hotel was supposed to have undergone some renovation. Hallways were kind of dark, not enough lighting, and had that "old" smell. The hotel staff was more than accomodating, they actually gave me a choice of 3 different rooms. For the price, I expected... More

A tired hotel with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff. Housekeeping is spotty and required asking for items missing or not replaced such as glasses. The internet service is antiquated. The breakfast is standard fare but no fruit offered.

We've stayed here several times while visiting family nearby. Each time we stayed we feel like we got our moneys worth. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable and the folks at the front desk have been very courteous and helpful. We have only eaten the breakfast here once, but it was decent. Not gourmet by any means, but... More

My family stayed here for 3 nights and had to change rooms each day to try to find a quiet room. No such thing. Who knew that after the first sleepless night due to the street traffic, our request to be moved to a quieter room would result in them moving us to a room on the highway side! Needless... More

Major freeway noise. Needs better sound proof windows. Hallways smell horrible. Cable TV with 100's of channels, but non-HD cable box results in very poor picture quality. Breakfast ok. Breakfast lady works hard. Generally staff were nice.

While the staff is friendly and the room is large, the hotel is a little on the old side and a little off the beaten path. The room was comfortable, the workout room is small and the pool outdoors, but both look decent enough to use. For Priority Club members, I received the sack of goodies, but there were no... More
