Top The Magnolia Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites El Cajon San Diego

8/10 Good

"We stayed for one night and had a relatively good experience. We did end up getting a ground-floor room, which ended up being very noisy. When booking, I did not know this hotel was in a commercial parking lot and was butted up to several restaurants like IN -N-OUT. Since there is a lot of foot traffic here, and me being a light sleeper, it wasn't the best experience. I will say, however, the bed was soooo comfy, and the pillows have been the best I've experienced recently. The room was clean and comfortable, A/C'd perfectly upon arrival, well decorated, and suited our needs perfectly. The showerhead had a drip, which was super noisy due to the metal drain right under it, but it's nothing a spare towel can't fix. The continental breakfast was good, including sausage patties, boiled eggs, a waffle bar, and a full oatmeal, bread, and cereal station. The only issue I had was that the boiled eggs were not peeled, and the other eggs were a cheese and egg omelet. Being lactose intolerant, I was a little disappointed in that. However, the rest of the food was pretty good. The staff was nice, the pool is mid (basically in the parking lot), workout room looked fine. All in all, I would stay here again but reguest a higher room than the floor level."

Northgate Motel

4/10 Poor

"I do not know who raved about this property, but my room was horrible. Let's start with thin, small towels. As a six-foot person, they didn't help dry my body. That little mat you put into the bathtub so you don't slip in the shower was moldy! The floor mat beneath the shower mat also had mold. I found stains on the bathroom floor - these were dirty water stains. There were long black hairs all over (not mine, I only wish I had hair to lose). Only hotel/motel I've stayed at in dozens of countries that DIDN'T have facial tissue. The in-room Wi-Fi had such a bright, flashing blue light that we had to tape something over it to sleep. Police car blue lights aren't as bright! The hotel said daily room service, but all they did was take our dirty towels and NOT REPLACE THEM. Trash wasn't emptied, bed not made. When I went to the desk to a replacement set of fresh towels, a sign informed guests to call the hotel next door. I had to borrow towels from another hotel!! Seriously? Again, I do not know which rooms these other people stayed in, but it certainly wasn't mine. Pick a different hotel."

Valley Motel El Cajon-San Diego

2/10 Terrible

"I never leave negative reviews, but this motel was just the cherry on top. I wouldn’t recommend this place to stay at not even for a NIGHT. It stinks like Cigarets, It definitely wasn’t cleaned before they checked it out to us, since another persons UNDERWEAR & SOCKS were hanging on the shower curtain. To top it off, there was cigaret burns on the bed sheets. SUCH A DISGUSTING PLACE. Do not spend your money here. If you have children with you, DO NOT STAY HERE it smells horrible and it is not sanitary at all."

Rodeway Inn El Cajon - San Diego East

2/10 Terrible

"It’s a trap house. Drug dealers and addicts stay here. The shower barely worked, the toilet kept flushing. There was no soap. No conditioner. The refrigerator and microwave were unplugged. There were burn marks and cigarette stains in the sheets and comforter on the bed. The towels were poorly maintained and dirty. It smelled like meth when we opened the door. We left after an hour. The pictures of this location were completely misleading. I was so upset I couldn’t even ask for a refund."
