Top Warbirds West Air Museum Hotel Reviews

Rodeway Inn Santee San Diego East

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. I love the location and Santee, CA has excellent restaurants and food places. Mary's Donuts are outstanding and Estrada's Mexican food has huge burritos that are so delicious!! Santee Lakes are great for walking trails and also has fishing and paddle boats. Coming back to a nice hotel room and being able to relax and recoup is very nice. I love all the open cabinets for storage and organizing. Next time we are back in this area we'll definitely stay here again. (Actually, this is our 3rd time staying here! ❤️)"
