"Great price, clean, spacious and newly remodeled rooms in an older hotel. Pool was a no go. But everything else was great"

Best Western Santee Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet and clean place"

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego El Cajon

8/10 Good

"Clean, well maintained property. The only thing that left a sour taste for me was they charged for parking our car in the lot. The fee for parking was never mentioned when booking this hotel property. Also the front desk attendant that checked me in never mentioned it when he told me to put this parking pass on my dashboard. It didnt make sense to me to charge for parking. We weren't staying downtown with limited parking."

Hampton Inn & Suites El Cajon San Diego

8/10 Good

"Terrible parking because of the In-N-Out next-door. At least in the nighttime."

Northgate Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was very helpful and considerate"

Carlton Oaks Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly. On the down side, our window overlooked a sandy area where people practice putting. The air condition started smelling like rotten eggs (sulfur) in the late evening. I called the front desk and was told that that was normal because of the water pumps outside. The front desk was locked around 10:15 am when I went to refill my water bottle and ask for hot water for tea, and there was a note saying it wouldn’t be opening until 11 AM, which was checkout time. Nonetheless, the room sufficed and the bed was comfortable."
