Top Descanso Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express La Mesa Near SDSU by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room and facility was clean. Staff was cordial. Breakfast was ample, but we arrived for breakfast at 9:30. Ended at 10 and they were completely out of everything. Didn't get restocked until almost 10 and then closed the doors. Parking was limited but we didn't have a car. Only other complaint was the water in the bathroom never got hot. Only lukewarm and the water pressure was low. We complained and they said they would have a maintenance person check on it, but it never changed. We were there for 4 days. Probably won't return because of water issue."

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego - Rancho Bernardo

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay! The staff were friendly and kind—the front desk team was especially warm and helpful. The rooms were clean, and the entire building was well-maintained. The lobby and restaurant are spacious with lots of seating. I also loved the refreshing outdoor seating area that connects to a small park."
