Staff were so so nice, great places to eat in the area, and despite there being so many end-of-summer concert goers in town, it was so quiet, I had no problem sleeping! Will definitely come back!

I’m highly allergic to animals - so they honored my request for a pet free room. Although old, the room was immaculate & the bed was wonderful.

Clean, friendly and quiet.

Basic quiet night's stay. Clean room, friendly office staffer. He was standing in for the owner and had a bit of a learning curve, but it ended up great. I walked a couple blocks to the ExtraMile at the traffic light for coffee because I didn't see any good coffee at the motel. Nice quiet industrial neighborhood .

Stayed at Harvey's mid-week with a late night check-in. The room was clean and spacious with mini-fridge and microwave.I liked the manufactured flooring (vs carpet). Air conditioning worked well. No funny smells or scents. Parking lot well lit. Night desk attendant courteous. Wi-fi was fast. I would stay again.

y for ice at the ice machine. My feet got dirty just walking barefoot in the room, so it would be nice if they mopped the floor surfaces more thoroughly. The bath soap would be too small for hand soap, much less for bath use. Otherwise, the room was adequate, the bed was nice and firm, and the staff was friendly.

I always check the current reviews before staying at a place I don’t know. Had good reviews so I booked it. Location was okay. Room while stark was average. Issue is the other guests. They were making noise until 2am. Cars, voices, etc. I see that they rent by the week for as long as 3 weeks. That should have clued me it’s a flop house with its associated problems. I don’t feel it deserves a below or above average rating because of the other guests but they definitely brought down my rating.

Harvey’s is the perfect place for a budget friendly stay in San Diego. The front desk has one worker at a time and they are extremely attentive and quick to respond if you need something. I needed a key replacement at midnight and the gentleman working was super helpful. The rooms are spacious and oh, so clean! I mean it’s probably the cleanest and homiest “motel” I’ve ever stayed in. I also really love the location, you’re technically in La Mesa but San Diego’s College Area is just west of you past lake Murray Blvd. you can walk to several convenience shops and restaurants near the motel, and the walk is totally easy and doable, I think the closest corner store is a block away. Parking is extremely convenient (though, a bit cramped once the reservations fill up!) but it’s so easy to slip in and out at any time of day and be back in your cozy room on your own time. This location is far enough away to not have a lot of the city noise, but close enough that you still feel authentically in San Diego, though you’re in La Mesa! This is a great motel. Would recommend to everyone!

Thanks Harvey!!

I had a wonderful stay at Harvey's Motel. I was in San Diego visiting a friend and needed an inexpensive place to stay closeby. Often the smaller budget/no-frills roadside motels can be "sketchy," but Harvey's is definitely an exception. The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming and even greeted me by name. The on-site parking lot was tidy and well-lit with plenty of spaces. I stayed in an upstairs "deluxe" room. Keeping in mind this is a budget/no frills motel, I was pleasantly surprised to find the room bright, clean and spacious. Everything was in excellent working order, from the lights ...to the TV, ...to the mini fridge and microwave ...and most importantly the AC! All the light switches were intuitively placed. Electrical sockets were available right above the nightstands on each side of the bed. I'm guessing the bathroom was recently renovated because the toilet and shower both looked new. As mentioned, this is a no-frills property, so they don't provide fancy soap or shampoo. And while the towels and linens were very clean, they're basic hotel stock. There are several great restaurants within walking distance. Despite being located right on a busy boulevard, the motel is relatively calm and quiet. I would definitely stay there again!
