Noisy

We are senior citizens so the have us rm 305 with a handicap shower. The room was close to the road and freeway and was very noisy. We also were close to the bar next door which had drums going Saturday night and during the day Sunday. We then asked to move rooms. We moved to the rear of the building which was very quiet. The staff was very nice and the hot breakfast was good. I wish we had moved rooms sooner.

Thumbs up

Our stay at La Mesa Best Western Plus was overall really good. We got a suite and it was quite spacious. Plenty of room for our family of 5. The room was overall pretty clean. Beds were comfy. I would definitely stay here again. I feel like my only complaint is the pakrking stalls were fairly small. Several cars ended up taking up two stalls and so parking was hard to find (at least at night)

The physical appearance could use some updating. Very clean!! We stayed in room 239 and it was a large adjoining room which was very nice, mattress was comfortable, room was in a quiet location which overlooked a sm pond and parking area by Anthony’s. Staff was very friendly and service orientated.

The property has no function room keys. Every time I need to access the room, I have to go to the front desk and ask for someone to meet me up and open the room door .. a major security concern and inconvenience. What is somebody comes up and claim my room !? There is no check ID or anything at the desk or by the room.
