Travelodge El Cajon - El Cajon

I stayed overnight to take a test nearby.All of the reviews that slam this place for being old might be a little harsh. Sure its old and funky but it was clean. The staff was very helpful. It was secure, wifi worked great. Walking distance to El Cajon Brewery and half a dozen restaurants. Great value. Would stay here again for an overnight.

It was the dirtiest place I ever stayed!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not great service, room was gross, shower was broken, loud noise through out the night.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The walkways were slanted and had to walk on in the rain. The furniture in the room was chipped. The bathroom was very small. The attendant did offer to carry luggage up to second floor because it was raining. The breakfast was joke.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Stayed here for a night. The staff was nice enough to let me check in early. I booked a smoking room and was shocked to find it smelled nor looked like a smoking room. Comes with mini frig and 1980 microwave but its decent. It was pretty quiet considering it was a weekday stay. I'd stay again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The price was inexpensive, but it would have been worth spending $10-20 extra to stay elsewhere. The front desk staff were very short, not offering any information except the room number and key. I chose a non-smoking room and the room smelled horribly of smoke. Helicopters flew overhead several times during the night and others staying were noisy through […] the night as well. It was not peaceful, was run down on the outside and furniture was damaged on the inside. I won't ever stay here again, nor would I recommend it. Read more

price was great for location! 15 minutes to seaworld- for a fraction of cost compared to closer hotels-

THE ROACH MOTEL WAS JUST THAT! IT WAS VERY DIRTY. THE CONDITION AND MAINTENANCE VERY, VERY POOR. IT LOOK LIKE IT HAD NEVER BEEN CLEANED. I WOULDN'T STAY THERE AGAIN IF IT WAS THE LAST ROOM ON EARTH! .... I AM STILL HAVING NIGHTMARES!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The A/C in our room hardly worked and had to set up our own fans. The ice machine was broken. The pool was closed for more the the four nights that we stayed there. The room was very small and had little walking space. The price was reasonable, if everything had been working.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Bad smell in the room.carpet in very bad shape.holes in the wall.pool need maint cant used got black water. shower drains are clogged I did told office but they did not fix any thing I was there 3.days . waiting to see if they do something about it.

This hotel was dreadful. The room wasn't cleaned when we arrived at 4pm. We walked up to the room the clerk gave us the key too and there was filth on the floors, cigarettes in a non smokeing room, the bathroom had razors in it and the wall was falling down.

Staff were nice, hotel just needs to be renovated and kept up.. I rather pay the little extra than stay there again

Makes my Top 5 list of worst hotels of all time. Run down, dirty, in poor repair. Air barely worked, phone didn't work at all. If I hadn't been so tired, I'd have demanded a refund and left.

Genuine Expedia guest review

everyone surrounding was noisy, everything about it was uncomfortable.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was a good price. Within walking distance of a trolly station (0.7 miles). Real close to the freeway but far enough away not to be bothered by freeway problems.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

air conditioner was broken; knobs were missing; only the fan was working. the restroom window was missing a screen on the window. floors of the restroom did not look clean. parts of the base moulding was missing. it looked like there was some water damage under the restroom sink. i could not tell how clean the dark carpet was, but if the restroom is […] any indication, the carpets are filthy. we rented three rooms that night and there was no parking space available for our ONE vehicle. the parking lot is not well designed and very limited.

noise, bugs, no continential breakfast avaiable, no pool. Very disappointed.

Genuine Expedia guest review

it was a fun to stay more.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was the worst hotel we have ever stayed. This hotel should not have any star at all. We changed rooms and both had carpet that was extremely old with stains. Bedspread had stains on it. The furniture was sticky at the touch. Bathrooms had dirty black grout and shower curtain with visible mildew. The bathroom was not even painted and finished properly. […] Very uncomfortable old mattress and pillows. Breakfast included..what breakfast? there were two cereal dispensers, one type of milk, orange juice, and nothing else. ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE FOR THE MONEY! Read more

The first room we got had a broken window with wood covering the opening and flies we're in the room, the next room wasn't much better, I wouldn't stay there again, but it was cheap.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The neighborhood is shady! Consider that I grew up in Detroit. I was there 7 days and saw the cleaning lady only 2x. My pillow had strange brown spots on it. The towels were a strange shade of off white and felt like sand paper. I don't have time to list all the other issues. Just Stay Away!!! Btw, the young lady at the counter was nice.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

A maid came into my room and managed to throw away my comb and take away two shower towels that where still clean, but not make up my bed nor empty out my can full of trash; I told the night shift clerk at the front desk to give me a wake-up call 5 am the next morning; I didn't get the call; I woke up on my own at 7:20 am and had four job interviews […] starting at 8 am, and had to take a cab to get to the interviews on time (which means he almost cost me one or more career opportunities and cost me over $40 with his incompetence); their washers and dryers worked inadequately when I needed to do my laundry; on top of all that, the night shift clerk wanted to cop a disrespectful attitude with me and tried to convince me it was my fault the door to the laundry room would only open from the outside. So with all that being said, I have recommend to everyone not to use this motel. This is only the second motel I've had problems with and, coincidentally, it was a Travelodge like the first one. So while I'm at it, I'll tell everyone to stay away from all Travelodge motels. Read more

Room smells very bad and bad order coming from carpet and bathroom, room maid cleans every two days gives you one bar of soap to last you two days, if you come home late there will be no parking lot left and you have to park in the street. its the cheapest hotel but i would spend couple of extra bucks to stay somewhere else!! i will not stay at this […] hotel again.

clean and good free breakfast.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

At first look it seems great but it's only good. The in room air conditioner lacked directional vents and clear labeling on the controls. In room coffee didn't include coffee. The location is adequate as there are a few fast food places within easy walking distance. Bathroom was in need of some minor repairs and had only a shower no tub. Overall a few […] inconveniences were small compared to overall condition and the price. Read more

The hotel is old, so it needs some remodeling. The carpet was pretty wore and stained. The TV didn't have a remote and there weren't any movie (pay) channels. The bathroom was old like everything else but it was clean and didn't smell bad. My wife and I just stayed there because it was next to the bar we were partying at that night.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was able to book my hotel stay hours prior to my arrival. I stayed for 7 nights. I had no one disturb me not one bit. I plan to go back next week for another week if i cant get my apartment on time...oh and the rate on expedia was awesome! very affordable!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

We just needed a 1 night stop at a low cost. This was it. Place was in fair shape. Nothing special.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Don't be fooled by the pictures, this hotel sucks. It's in the worse area in San Bernardino. Its a very smelly hotel. There was prostitutes on the premices of this hotel and some other type of activity. I would never stay in this hotel again! I should be paid to staying there.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not only did I have to wait 20 minutes for someone to come to the front window to give me my room key, when I got to my room it was extremely dirty as though it hadn't been cleaned in several months. I was completely disappointed as the reviews on hotel.com had been mostly positive. I will not be going back.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Not a very good area, even though it was the least expensive but not worth it.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The rooms smell, the walls are not cushioned so you can hear the other people pee or even whisper. You can't sleep because there is so much noise coming from people walking on upper floors or adjoining rooms. The bathrooms are yuk....and the list goes on. It was a mistake to have booked my stay in that hotel only to realize the booking was non-refundable. […] Else I would have changed to another better hotel. Read more

I was surprised the hotel is very clean if you needed something they where their to help. Very respecful personal. I would actually stay their again.

This is a run of the mill non-impressive hotel. It has nice enough staff, they let me check in early. The rooms do in fact smell musty as if they shampooed the carpets and closed up the room which made it stale. I opened the window though and it was great, clean. The continental breakfast was typical. The pillows are non existant, need to improve on […] that comfort. Overall okay to stay here. Read more

The front desk management staff was very helpful and professional.

The staff was very pleasant however the room was overwhelming with the smell of cat urine... Hotel was full, it was late, so I just opened the windows and went to sleep.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel was very close to where I was going. The rooms are in need of some remodling, but they were quite.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I recently re-relocated to San Diego and while waiting for my new apartment to be ready, I stayed in the Travelodge for a few reasons. The price was right, they weren't too far from the Trolley (under a mile) and they take pets! The maid service was helpful and friendly. After a few days in their hotel they knew me by name, knew that my cat was scared […] of the vacuum cleaner, knew that I would need fresh towels and refills for the coffee and the related accoutrements. What I didn't like was the run down AC units, and the low-quality soaps they use. Also, my room only had a stand up shower... and sometimes I like baths. All in all, I'd stay there again. Read more
