Verified Reviews of Holiday Inn Express La Mesa Near Sdsu by IHG

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:

"Not to bad."

Overall Score4.0/ 5

However the breakfast foods were cold or still frozen. Unfortunately, they were a little slow. And keeping up with the demand for the foods. Coffee was just fine.

Overall Score4.0/ 5

Room was clean. Several choices in breakfast foods. Staff was professional and helpful. We plan to return later in the year.

"Would give 0 if I could."

Overall Score1.0/ 5

There was a literal used douche in the bag with the hotel hairdryer. Could not be more repulsive. I reported it to staff and management during my stay, they agreed that it was disgusting, but did nothing to correct the situation. Will absolutely never stay at this brand again.

Lynd J. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

10-Aug-2024 Verified Review, stayed from Fri Jul 12 to Sun Jul 14 2024 at a $232.10 average nightly rate.
