Heritage Inn La Mesa

Heritage Inn La Mesa

8/10 Good
"It was an okay hotel. It was very outdated. Definately needs an upgrade on outdoor and inside rooms. My room seems to be stained from the blankets and the couch and had a strong odor that we had to spray something to calm the smell down. Old furniture. Was missing some amenities but overall was okay."
