“Do not stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011

I am not going to even go into details except to stay this is not worth any money or your time. I was absolutely shocked when I checked into this motel after I read all of the nice reviews about this motel. I stay in a variety of hotels, motels and travel everywhere and am a go with the flow kind of person; however this motel compromised my safety, which is why I suggest you to think through this motel choice. If you are visiting San Diego or the nearby area, I would suggest you to consider a motel/hotel in a safer area points east or west. There are nicer motels and hotels farther away from this area. I am still in awe of some of the stunning reviews this motel received from other reviewers, unfortunately this was not the reality of my stay.

“A Safe Choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I stayed two nights in a business class room, which I understand is the same as a suite but with nicer bedding. The room was clean and appears to have been upgraded recently with framed mirrors and granite topped night stands and vanities. The internet was fast and reliable, the pool actually looked pretty nice, and the breakfast was middle of the road (waffles, hard boiled eggs, two cereals, selection of breads, juice and coffee). The property is well maintained and the staff is friendly. If you are staying in El Cajon, it will be in a motel, and this is a nice choice.

“Clean and Quiet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

Reasonably priced. Clean and quiet. Easy access to the freeway. Friendly staff. The downside is even though I was in a non-smoking room, there was a faint smell of smoke. It could be due to all the smokers leaving their doors open or smoking outside.

“Good Location for points east”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here due to its proximity to Cleveland National Forest and the PCT. Overall, a decent hotel for the money, rooms clean and spacious, bed was super comfortable, breakfast was so/so, AC was dirty and made wierd noise, stain on a towel, and water pressure was horrible. If you are going to the recreational areas east of San Diego this is a good place to stay.
