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 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.
