Top Santee Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Santee

Baymont by Wyndham Santee

8/10 Good
"This is a good low cost hotel if you are just staying for a night or need a more affordable option. It has been recently renovated, and outdoor upgrades seem to be ongoing. Rooms are updated and clean. We were only staying one night while on the road, so it didn't make sense to pay more just to sleep. The beds however are not very comfortable, or in my opinion the pillows were note and need to be changed out. The breakfast is pretty good for this level hotel. Staff was friendly. There are plenty of food options around. Bring your own water bottles or buy nearby as they do not have any."
