"Great Staff"
We were in the San Diego area to help a friend put on a half marathon and 5k benefit run and chose the hotel due to its central location. The timing was such that we checked in late and had to be out the door by 5am. We were allowed a late (2pm) check out, without hesitation. The staff was great, room clean, comfortable and location close to great […] restaurants. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Old & Run Down"
I needed a hotel last minute. This was a last minute booking. If it wasn't for the nice girl at the front desk I would have given it lower ratings.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very clean"
The room was clean and pleasant. My only complaint is that the beds were SO hard! We considered staying another night since it was a holiday weekend but decided we couldn't take another night on the hard beds. The staff was kind and helpful and our over all stay was good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not as impressive as before..."
This is normally my 'go to' hotel in the region when I have to stay in the San Diego/El Cajon area. Normally I am happy with the accomidations, this time not so much. The TV only received about 3 clear channels, all the others had so much static it was hard to watch them. The WiFi was not working (either very, VERY slow or not working at all). Also, […] there were unruly guests in the halls and during breakfast (including one guest who, in the process of making 6 plates of food and placing them in his backpack) decided to let every guest know that his laptop was stolen and he didn't know how he was going to pay his rent and then yelled at my 9 year old son for looking at him. Staff did NOTHING to address this, even though they were in the same room and were FULLY aware of it. I guess it's time to find a different hotel in the area. Too bad, as the staff themselves are usually very kind and attentive and it's centralized location is very convenient. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not pleasant at all."
The hotel was not really the problem. Unfortunately the room they choose for us the tv set was really outdated, and we don´t if it was the next door or the upstair room above us a couple were fighting from 11:30 pm thru after 4 am and the staff never did something to solve the problem. for me and my wife was a nightmare.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"El Cajon Quality Inn"
I have stayed at this site several times. I am drawn to it for its convenience, its hot breakfast, and its overall value for the stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good Location"
This was our second stay at this hotel. The location is excellent and near the local Metro station to get to all parts of San Diego. The room was clean, but needed some upgrades. Wall paper was coming off the bathroom wall and the cultured marble countertops has cigarette burns, the wall unit a/c was older-than-sin, but functioned. The breakfast included […] in the price was good. We would stay again, but probably upgrade to a larger room, as the standard room was very small. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Nothing Fancy, Average Stay Hotel"
Other than the beds being extremely firm and the pillows having no support, the over all feel of the hotel was pretty average. For what it was used for, it did the job well.Genuine Expedia guest review

"A nice resting place for the money !"
Our experience was pretty good overall. The room was clean and they provided all the needed necessities. The bed was comfortable and the air conditioner worked well, and most importantly it was quiet. BTY - My final bill was about $40 less than what Expedia quoted me. Not sure why ! The continental breakfast was nice. Plenty to choose from and in a […] decent size room with tables to sit at. The hotel isn't in the greatest of all neighborhoods, so I was a bit concerned when we showed up and there were a couple of cars that looked like they belonged in the junk yard right in front of the office. When we came back later that night they were gone and every car in the lot was newer which alleviated my concerns a bit. I noticed that while I was showering the hot water was going in and out. It seemed that if I took a shower during a common time I was fighting for hot water with the other guests. During off times it was fine. Not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it. I would definitely stay here again ! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good experience at El Cajon Quality Inn"
This hotel was conveniently located for my purposes in San Diego and reasonably priced. The rooms have not been updated for technology, i.e., all electrical outlets hidden behind furniture--no easy place to plug in phone chargers/laptop. The free wi-fi was slow, but it was free! Breakfast was good and the staff was friendly and efficient.Genuine Expedia guest review
"What a great find!"
Very nice, clean, comfortable, and spacious room. Clean pool and spa. Breakfast better than most with plenty of tables and chairs. Good location twenty minutes from Balboa Park offering far better prices than in San Diego. I will stay again.Genuine Expedia guest review
We enjoyed the front desk staff. Very friendly and helpful. However, when we returned to the room after the funeral our room had not been cleaned. It was 10 pm. The do not disturb had been placed from our room on the door. It was not placed there by us! The staff obviously entered the room and put it on the door so they did not have to clean the room. […] Very unprofessional. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good but could be better"
The score is actually a 2.5 but that wasn't an option. The room was clean, the AC units were VERY loud. The room was a sweet so there where 2 TV's. The one in the bedroom worked the one in the sweet didn't. Both remote controls had their battery covers missing. The water didn't stay hot and would fluctuate. Not worth the price paid, but in a pinch it […] will work. Stayed 3 nights in Room 302. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Would stay again!"
Overall good place to stay for the price. The staff was the best part of staying here. Very friendly and helpful. Do not stay here if you depend on access to a computer. (Not secure when or if you can get it. Noise from the highway and tram that was a problem in other reviews was not for us and our room was right next to the highway.The beds were as […] comfortable as any 4 star hotel. Except for the carpet the room was clean. They need to shampoo them. We all had black feet and our non smoking room had a mild, not strong, odor of smoke and had a cigarette burn on one of the beadspreads.The breakfast was good but not great. The hotel was very safe and has everything you ladies need like target, walmart etc for shopping right down the street. Also, it is only 20 minutes to the beach, zoo, seaworld. Great overall location! Besides the computer my only other major knock was that the front desk does not give good directions on how to get to the hotel. This was a problem for most of the people I talked to. When you get off the I-8 on the Severin exit coming from East or West you head North on Severin less than a quarter of a mile to Murray Ave and go East(Right) on Murray Ave..Go straight until Murray Ave turns left at the stop sign. (about a mile) At this point you will stay sraight on El Cajun Blvd and the hotel will be on the left.Have a great time! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Lower Star rating than publicized"
Definitely not a 2 1/2* rating. More like a 2. Carpet was dingy. Furnishings old. Wall Paper peeling off the bathroom walls. Needs some major upgrading. Breakfast serving area crowded.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel!"
Great hotel for the price! They had the best continental breakfast i've ever see at any hotel. Staff was friendly. Will definitely stay there again!Genuine Expedia guest review
I am sorry to report to you that we did not enjoy our stay. The A/C unit was too loud to sleep through. There were no screens on the windows to open the windows and air out our room . The shower water went ice cold one minute, then scalding the next. Luckily, my husband showered 1st to discover this so I would not encounter (or burn) this while showering […] my young children. Upon returning after an evening out, approximately, 9pm, we entered the lobby to find about 6 African American teen age kids lounging around the lobby and being loud and obnoxious. I was surprised the desk staff did not redirect them somewhere else from where guests were coming and going. This is a place of business, not a hang out. Needless to say, I will not be returning, nor will I recommend this hotel. We requested a room facing away from the freeway only to learn upon checking in that the hotel only has 1 room available. We had a room facing the freeway but the noise did not bother us. The breakfast buffet was basic but got the bellies filled for the morning with good amount of variety for different diets and tastes. The good news is that your staff was courteous and pleasant to talk with and it is right next to an 8 West on ramp. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"feedback"
We picked non-smoking room but there was a strong smell of smoke as soon as we entered the room. This bothered us. But for this, room was clean enough, breakfast was good. If smell of smoke bothers you, this is not the place.Genuine Expedia guest review
"mini family vacation"
Other than the pillows being a little to soft for me and the water in the shower changing from hot to cold or from hot to really hot it was a great hotel. The trolly being close by and it taking us to the gaslamp district was a major plus. The contenintal breakfast was really good. I would recommend this hotel to friends and would stay there again. […] If your looking for a decent room that is priced right and close to the gaslamp downtown this is the place. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not so Quality"
We checked in at 9pm with 2 lil kids and they gave us the key to the wrong room. The other guests weren't too happy with us trying to get into their room. Then the whole night, we couldn't sleep due to allergies coming from the bathroom which looks like they were in the middle of doing something cause the ceiling was cut but then did a really bad job […] patching it up and must've been mold or something. Then on top of it, the bathroom had a leak when you showered. We had a really big puddle after the 2nd shower. 2nd night was even worse with the allergies. Not sure if it was just the whole building or what but if you have allergies, I wouldn't go there. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice stay."
Is inexpensive, and close to the interstate. The room was small, but adequate for the price. Very clean and constantly taken care of. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was more than adequate for the price. Would stay again if the opportunity presents itself. Cannot beat it for the price.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Do not expect to get online"
Although the staff was delightful, the rooms and grounds clean and well kept and the complimentary breakfast very well rounded complete with 24/7 hot coffee; This location would definitely not do for the business traveler who must rely on internet access. For three consecutive days I was on the phone with "Tech Support" in what turned out to be a futile […] effort to resolve the extremely poor internet connectivity. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good room for the price"
Hotel is located less than 2 miles from the public transit station, which is nice because you can just park your car and take the train to Sea World, Zoo, or Old Town. Our room faced the train tracks and we weren't bothered by the noise at all. The beds are very hard. The room was clean, but the furniture is very outdated and dingy. If you are traveling […] with 3-4 people, it's worth it to pay a little extra for the second bathroom because the sofa bed pulls out to a queen size bed and you can close the door between the sitting room and the bedroom so it feels like a 2 bedroom suite. Breakfast was good and consisted of fruit, cereal, breads, pastries, sausage and waffles. We would stay here again because of the price and close location to public transit.

"Nice place"
Everyone was very nice. You could hear the traffic from the room if you stayed in a room that faced the highway. Better to request a room on the other side, but overall, worth the cost. :)Genuine Expedia guest review

"Bad Experience"
My wife and i arrived at our destination in El Cajon California and checked in and put our belongings in our room than went to visit family members. When we returned and tried to get into our room the lock flashed green but the door wouldn't open. We tried several times but after the first try the lock kept flashing red. When the desk manager tried […] with a master key the lock flashed red. We were given another room and about twenty minutes later the hotel manager showed up and opened the room and tried to get us to move back into the first room. We stayed in the second room however at 2:20 am we were woke up by someone trying to get into our room. I had to yell at them twice before they ran away. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very pleasing stay"
Everything was great except for the front desk staff; our reservation wasn't in the system and we had to call expedia to figure out what the problem was, she didn't offer to make the call or letting us use the hotel phone to solve the problem. Expedia was very helpful, sent the fax with our reservation and after that we had a very pleasing stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
The freeway runs right next to the motel so the noise was terrible. The room was older yet very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the breakfast and would recommend this hotel except for the noisy location.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good deal for the price."
Good hotel, we needed a place to stay for a couple days before we could move into our new place. This was a nice, cheap place to stay and not too far from places to go shopping.Genuine Expedia guest review
