Courtyard by Marriott San Diego El Cajon

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed staying here. Everything was clean and nice."

Om Park Inn and Suites El Cajon near San Diego

8/10 Good

"The room was basic, clean, the king bed is comfortable, and large TV. Better than others with the same price point, I would stay again."

Best Western Santee Lodge

8/10 Good

"Just a nice place to sleep"

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."
