Find the Cheap Santee Hotels

Rooms: pretty decent - looks fairly recently remodeled, the shower is actually placed high so tall people can be comfortable. Dresser looked a bit beat up and the ”smore's colored wall paint striped (cream and brown) I could have done without. People walking by my room talking woke me up - not sound-proof enough. 25 min drive from downtown SD. Missing a do not disturb sign and a laundry bag - choice hotels should really include these ”basics”. They charge a $10 / day B.S. resort fee and there's not even a free breakfast. The outdoor patio / golf course view restaurant / bar is nice with some kind of yacht rock live music while we were there. Food at the restaurant is basic American fare - noting exotic or really ”wow” factor but not bad. The room was very clean. They do have event spaces - the hotel hosted a high school reunion and when the event was over around 11:30 pm, all the attendees were chattering super loud right outside the rooms (rooms open to the outdoors, rather than a hallway) so it was super noisy while we were trying to sleep. Pool and jacuzzi were nice but don't wear your best swimsuit in the jacuzzi - I had a brand new suit and it's now snagged up on the butt because of the rough surface of the jacuzzi. If you want to know the ”scene” at the bar - it's mostly old golf dudes. There are some families and non-golfers who stay here but not exactly a hip and trendy scene here. I'm not an old golf dude so not really wanting to hang out at the bar.

Although the location of the hotel is far from the city, it is very convenient to drive. There is a gas station next to it. The price of oil is not expensive. The accommodation environment is generally the same. The big bed room we booked is not a non-smoking room. The smoke inside is very big. It feels like a smoke when you sleep for a night...

Absolutely NO!!!! I stayed here trusting the best western brand. From immediately after we checked in until our early departure nothing but red flags. We attempted to stay here thinking we didn’t need a whole lot of frills this trip because we had a busy schedule. There were ants to the point of having to brush them off my water bottle as we were bringing our stuff in . After we got settled I went to move my bag and two large roaches fell off it. Called the front desk who offered to put me on the second floor because “ground floor is easier to access for roaches” *** at this point it’s 1am amd kids are tired I requested to be able to cancel the rest of our stay without penalty. I was told the GM approved that but would not issue any rewards points for the inconvenience. Disappointed but whatever. After that my card was still charged and no one could tell mem anything kind of played hot potatoe with me until I called corporate. GM never called or conveyed any apology for charging my card or is having to move but he did supposedly respond to my customer care ticket. Bottom line Don’t stay

I’ve stayed at this hotel several times while visiting family in the area. Decent hotels aren’t easy to find in this area. This place was the best I could find for a somewhat reasonable rate. This time around I stayed for three nights and noticed how it’s gotten far too dirty to be acceptable. The bed and linens were fine but the couch needed a serious cleaning. The carpet was vacuumed but it desperately needed a good steam cleaning. The hotel manager really should take a look in the rooms from time to time to make sure dirt and stains are being cleaned. There was cockroach on the bathroom floor on one of my midnight bathroom visits. I wore sandals from then on while in the room. I realize cockroaches can be anywhere but it was still a little alarming. The parking lot can be just plain ridiculous at times. The lot behind the hotel backs right up to a homeless encampment so I didn’t feel comfortable parking back there. The front parking lot gets inundated from customers going to the Inn N Out burger drive thru next door from late afternoon until well into the evening. The endless stream of cars block the parking spaces so it’s extremely difficult to park at this time of day. Three nights cost $710 for just one person! That’s far too much money for the reasons listed above! I won’t be back if things don’t improve. On a positive note, the front entrance staff was great. They were all very warm and welcoming! The bed and pillows were very comfortable. They also have breakfast which was fine and good coffee which was appreciated!

It was disappointing that the room didn’t come standard with a fridge and microwave. Other than that it was very clean.

The check-in and check-out processes were efficient , and the front desk staff were courteous. Navigation to the room was straightforward due to the property's manageable size. Although the room had a slight residual smell of smoke, the staff accommodated my request for a non -smoking room by having me sign a form. While there was a minor issue with towel replenishment , the staff readily assisted when requested. Despite the hotel's location outside the city center, convenient motorway connections facilitated easy access to key attractions. Overall, it's a suitable choice for those seeking comfortable accommodations without luxury amenities. The bed Wi-Fi, and breakfast met my basic needs satisfactorily .

excellent customer service

Days inn hotel in el Cajon city of San Diego County is one of the best hotels available in city of el Cajon so 👌 good choice and there is an Starbucks and Dennys so chevron gas station and market and on the left side of the hotel walking no more then 400 meters there is an restaurant and am.pm gas station and liquor store and market

It seemed we reserved the last available room in the city of El Cajon for 1 night on a Saturday night. We had zero expectation and frankly expected a dump because of the horrendous reviews. Check-in was fast, lobby has 2 chairs, a table with coffeemaker and a rack full of San Diego tours and flyers. They issue only 1 key to the room and another key to the Super 8 motel next door if we need ice. True story. Parking is tight but free. Our room was on the 1st floor. Building has 2 floors with no elevator. Inside the room is a king bed with no headboard, 4 pillows, wood floors, microwave, mini fridge, safe, sink outside of the bathroom, hairdryer, TV and a disgusting old chair that has seen better days. The whole place could use a makeover. Bring your own toiletries. Towels and toilet paper are thin. We were afraid to avail of the free breakfast. Hot water and shower pressure worked great; AC was cold; there were multiple electric outlets; WiFi was fast and even if location is on a main street we weren’t bothered by noise. We were allowed to check-out at 11:30am. It was okay for a quick overnight stay to avoid a DUI.
