My stay at the Holiday Inn Express in La Mesa was as how I expected it to be. The reason I choose to book exclusively with HIE is their consistency, no matter the location. They hold a high standard of quality, cleanliness, and customer service, that I really appreciate.

Staff were all great. The breakfast was poor quality with no healthy choices. Worst part of the stay was the loud guests above us stumping around their room through the two nights, and their air conditioner dripping on ours all night making a drumming sound. Won’t be returning.

Beware poor service, hidden fees, very low budget operation. Food is worse than Junior High School cafeteria, shower has only lukewarm water, no daily room cleaning service, $20/night charge for parking in outdoor lot with very small spaces, lots of traffic noise. Most of the guests appear to be truckers and construction workers who make a lot of racket.
