Top La Mesa Hotel Reviews

Sheraton San Diego Resort

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stays at Sheraton Resort. The property is well maintained, clean, and"

Best Western Seven Seas

10/10 Excellent

"The Staff is great, every one of them. The grounds are very meticulously maintained by the attentive groundskeepers (who are also very nice). The shower was fantastic! Excellent water pressure 👌 and the food was very good quality 👌 We’ve been here before, and we’ll be back for sure!"

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed 3 nights, they never did the room during our stay. They didn't change the towels. For a family of 4, we almost run out of toilet paper. The elevator took a while to get up to the 3rd floor when we left with our luggages (like 10-15 minutes for a 4 floor hotel). Perhaps, it was very close to disney (like a 30 minutes walk) so it's totally possible to go by walk and save on parking fees. There is a lot of uber riding to disneyland and the room was clean and confortable. Globally we enjoy our stay."

Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent. Pool and hot tub were great. Breakfast was good. The hotel is a bit worn down, and we did have a few spiders and cockroaches in our room throughout our stay. I’d still recommend it as a value hotel."

Wyndham San Diego Bayside

8/10 Good

"Honestly I was expecting much, much worse based on the reviews I had seen of this hotel so I was pleasantly surprised by most of the staff and the quality of the room. We were given our daily coffee vouchers, we had the same woman every morning and she was absolutely wonderful but I did not catch her name. We did have a cat with us, which I was a little worried about as the hotel policy says "pets" but when I called to confirm our details I was told "dogs" and that the dog could not be left in the room unattended (I believe the actual policy is they must be in a carrier/crate if no one else is in the room, which makes sense for safety). My only issue is the parking. I had calculated how much it would be for our stay, no biggie it was $50/night so a total of $250. However the day of our check out, I hear the gentleman tell a woman checking in it was $20/night, meaning I was charged over double that amount. When we tried asking for more details or an explanation, we were given the email to a manager named "Alejandra" who still has not replied almost a month later. And "Alejandra" was not the manager present when we were checking out. So overall, I liked the hotel, did not appreciate the price discrepancy when it came to parking and definitely did not appreciate the lack of a response so overall I liked my stay but I would not return."

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our overnight at the Sofia. We arrived around 2pm and were able to get our room right away. The room was a bit small, but was stylish and comfortable. We were too early to try out the dinner menu at the restaurant Truvo (Mediterranean style) unfortunately, but had a lovely breakfast there the following day. Guests get a discount. The front desk staff member was also able to give us an additional hour at check out when we asked. The venue was centrally located and very walkable to places and events. We went to a baseball game (Padres won!) and visited the Navy Seal Museum which is very good and more interactive than we anticipated. We will go again and bring the grandchildren. Our only chagrin was that the air conditioning was louder than we’d have liked and blew onto the bed. I would advise wearing an eye mask so that it doesn’t blow onto the eyes."

The Dana on Mission Bay

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second trip in which we have stayed at The Dana! We really enjoy it! Great restaurant with firepit tables, food is wonderful. Location is perfect to the beach and access to the freeway. We have booked the jr suite with a bay view, and this past trip was the marina view. We will definately be back!"
