THEY NEED TO PUT MICROWAVES IN THE ROOMS.

THEY NEED TO PUT MICROWAVES IN THE ROOMS. ALSO WHEN I CHECKED IN ON THE MAY 10,2023 THEY FAILED TO TELL ME THAT YOU CAN ONLY STAY 14 DAYS. BUT I RESERVED THE ROOM AGAIN FOR 3 DAYS AND THAT'S WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE LENGTHS OF TIME YOU COULD STAT THERE. BY THAT TIME I HAD BEEN THERE16 DAYS. SO I WAS PAYING FOR THE 3 DAYS RESERVATION WITH MY BANK CARD IT CAME BACK DECLINED,SO I WAS ALLOWED TO PAY FOR ONE MORE DAY WITH CASH AND TOLD I HAD TO CHECK OUT THE NEXT MORNING. HERITAGE HAS MY MONEY PENDING AND I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO WAIT 31 DAYS+1 BEFORE I GET IT BACK. THE MERCHANT SENT PAPERWORK SAYING PAYMENT FAILED AND THEY WEREN'T TAKING IT. BUT STILL I HAVEN'T RECEIVED IT BACK YET. HERITAGE INN IS WORSE THAN JANKY PROMOTERS.I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO MY WORST ENEMY.

We were there during a heat wave, so were very uncomfortable . Did not go many places other than to see the family we came to visit. Not having access to a cool shower after a very hot day was miserable. We ate at Gus’s Deli several times and very much enjoyed the food. Getting around La Mesa is easy, however, we are familiar with the area. We would avoid staying at this Holiday Inn.

A pretty soulless place and not worth the stay for pure tourism. I guess if you are visiting the Uni there is a reason to stay. Best bit was getting the trolley into downtown San Diego ($5 return) and reasonable proximity to places like Julian. Won’t rush back.

Looked for a place near where I would be meeting friends and chose this. Had a little bit of everything. The hotel is immediately off an exit of Hwy 8 going East. Do not blink or you will pass it. Signage is hidden behind lots of greenery. Going West it is immediately at the off ramp and hard to miss. The architecture has a Southern flair, with outdoor corridors. The reception area is unappealing (the plastic shield did not help) and not welcoming. Luckily, I was met by Michael. He was friendly and professional. The other clerk checked me in and took a long time despite having my paperwork on the desk. My room on the second floor spacious. The bed was comfortable. It was strange that the only lamp in the room was on the desk and not near the bed. Several of the electrical outlets did not work. The bathroom sink needs some TLC. The shower was large, and the water flow was warm and steady. Although near the freeway, the room was very quiet. The pool area was nice, but the hot tub was not available. Housekeeping did not service my room after the first night and Michael offered to exchange fresh linen if I wanted. After the second night they did a very nice job of servicing the room. The location was very convenient for fast food, El Torito and the downtown of La Mesa. Parking was always available despite the hotel appearing to be near capacity. Carol was cordial at checkout.

The hotel did not allow us to check in saying there is no booking. We were surprised that even though having the reservation, how can they say there is no reservation. We have realised there were couple of big sports events and because of that hotel has cancelled all third party reservations. Can you please check with the hotel and validate this information? At the same time, please refund the process.

Located in a quiet residential area, easy access to local businesses and freeways. Teresa, the host, came out to greet me when I arrived and ensured a smooth access, much nicer than being in a hotel. I was only there for one night and would definitely stay here again. The room was spacious, clean and had all the amenities covered microwave, coffee maker and a mini fridge. A very pleasant stay.

Took the train to SD to visit my son at college. This hotel wasn't fancy but it was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was basic but adequate. Staff was friendly and helpful. Very quiet at night even though there was traffic outside. Comfortable bed. Some peeling paint on bathroom door.
