Stayed here once when San Diego had no open rooms. Had to slide my credit card thru a bullet proof window. Room had carvings on the head board, mirror was also scratched with grafiti. Room smelled horrible. Had originally booked for three days, but left after the first night because I couldn't handle another day in this he'll hole.

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...

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... More

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.

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... More

I have stayed at this hotel many times for about 20 years-since it was Plaza International. Days Inn bought the property and upgraded the rooms but the cost almost doubled. Aside from that, the beds are comfy, the room is spacious has a fridge, microwave, safe, coffee maker. AC can be noisy but white noise so it drowns out any... More

... then Days Inn in El Cajon is just OK. If you won't spend much time at all at the hotel, and don't care about amenities, it's OK. Was clean, had working air conditioning, hot water, and for a quick bite Denny's is right across the parking lot. The not-so great side: 1) Non-smoking room smelled like a smoking room,... More

Stayed with friends. Updated room great but carpet heavily stained and not a clean as a fairfield inn. Great for the $ though and having never traveled to the San Diego area (from Dallas suburbs) it seems like a fine location (I'm 25 yr old female traveling with a 23 yr old male and 24 yr old female). Bed was... More
