Got put into a smoking room, I don't think they have aired that room out since whenever. Pool & Spa... More

got my price for the room on Priceline, $39.00 per night Everything but the coffee maker was as expected- they quickly replaced the coffee maker with a one cup wonder, which for a coffee drinker, isn't of much use. The mattress was better than what I have a home, they are remodeling things there, the pool was closed. they have... More

I was able to get the room for $60 a night. I relied on Tripadvisor to select it, as it was rated # 2 in El Cajon. # 1 was $130 to $190 and a drive away from town. I'll admit up front I didn't want the hassle of moving to another place, or even from my room. That said,... More

The room was very spacious and clean, and the fridge works. The room rate was a great value, and the internet was complimentary and fast. It is next to a car wash but they are quiet from 8 pm until 8 am. The breakfast has fruit, coffee, juice, and pastries. We went to San Diego to visit family and this... More
