Holiday Inn Express Mira Mesa-San Diego by IHG

Everything was clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. Mila from the reception team was especially attentive and always ready to help. Her kindness and positive energy made the stay feel welcoming. I’d definitely come back!

I stayed Friday night in mid-September 2025. The room was large and clean, the AC worked well, and the neighborhood felt safe. The front desk was friendly and check-in went smoothly. There are lots of food options very close by, and the hotel is near I-15. A few things to know: there’s no in-room safe, and only one elevator. I was on the fourth floor and had a long wait on checkout morning. The breakfast area has lots of seats, though the service area feels cramped. The outdoor pool has no hot tub. Also, the parking lot is small and shared by two hotels and a Denny’s, with pretty tight spaces.

The service, location, and cleanliness were all perfect, and this hotel exceeded my expectations. Mila at the front desk was especially kind, caring, and professional. Her hospitality made the stay memorable. Highly recommended!

The noise and parking made the stay frustrating. At 2 a.m., the guest above us banged loudly for hours. Parking was a problem both nights: after paying a $10 nightly fee, we still couldn’t find a spot on Friday, and on Saturday we had to circle the lot for about 30 minutes before finding one. When I asked the front desk for help, they just said, “It is what it is.” I was also quoted one price for the stay but charged more. At checkout, they billed me for three nights instead of two. The staff member insisted the charges were right even after I explained that I arrived Friday. Another employee finally stepped in and found that someone else’s charges had mistakenly been added to my card. The hotel is overpriced for the experience and poor service. I won’t be back.
