Plenty of casual dining spots are within walking or short driving distance, and you’ll find fast-food staples nearby. Breakfast is not included, but local diners are a short drive away for a morning recharge.

Nightlife Options

It worked for me for...

Liked: Motel is decent for the price. Only needed to stay a couple of nights, so it worked for me.
Disliked: My room was on the second floor at the end by the freeway. Noise was so loud I could not sleep without ear plugs. Room felt a little humid even with the fan running all night.

I cancelled because they didn’t...

Liked: Nice staff
Disliked: They didn’t have my room and there are 2 of these in La Mesa, but the operators refuse to clarify which is which in their naming on Booking, so of course I went to the wrong one first, wasting time with a tired child
