La Mesa Hostelling International

"The hotel was clean and staff helpful. Breakfast buffet was good and the coffee at breakfast was great. Location to Little Italy dining is good."

"We booked a weekend getaway here for our 25th anniversary. We previously stayed in January 2025 and had a great experience, so we returned for two nights. Check-in was smooth, but we were surprised to find our total differed from our Expedia receipt. We were told parking would be $49/night, which hadn’t been disclosed on any communication received from Expedia. To their credit, the manager kindly reduced it to $22/night, which we appreciated—though it still felt odd given each bungalow has a designated spot. The bungalow itself was clean, spacious, and well-stocked with coffee and two complimentary waters. There was a noticeable lingering cleaning product smell for a while, but overall the room was comfortable. We also enjoyed the small private yard with chairs, and the location near the jacuzzi was a plus (even if our previous visit had a better view). One ongoing frustration is the lack of in-room entertainment. Although were were given a list of channels, the TV itself has no guide, so you’re left scrolling through channels, and there are no streaming options or ability to connect your own device. After a long day out, that made it harder to unwind. Overall, we had a good stay, but a few inconveniences may make us consider other options next time."
