As an owner of a travel agency I would never recommend this place to a client. Room reeked due to disinfectant used at cleaning. Had to open the windows and air it out. Asked the next morning to not use it as it made the room almost unsleepable. When we got back to the room it smeeled again. I, again... More

Due to unforeseen circumstances had to stay here for about 3 weeks. Awful. Noisy and chinese couple running it were not helpful. Had my cat with me and needed to keep her in room at office (with front desk permission) overnight. At 6.30am a man appeared and opened my door (thankfully chain was on) and wanted to return cat. He... More

I have stayed here several times for the convenience to relatives. About average for a Best Western. Fairly clean and in decent shape. No doubt where the springs are in the beds, but still can get fair nights sleep. Refer and micro-wave are nice. Clock didnt work and shower/tub drain plugged. Would come again.

If I could give it a 0, I would. Because of Comic-Con and our softball tournament, hotel rooms were at a premium. We were gouged for $109/nite before tax for what wasn't worth even half of it. Motel 6 is much nicer. The beds and pillows were horrific, we had back pain throughout the stay. Bath towels were stingy, we... More

This little motel is not as bad as the reviews claim. My husband and I had to spend time unexpectedly in Santee due to a family emergency. We didn't have time to research lodging and chose this motel due to it's close proximity to the hospital. I am picky about the cleanliness of hotels, so I asked to see one... More

An unscrupulous employee of this motel stole my confidential data from motel records and used it for disgusting purposes. It was easy enough to change my credit card number but somewhat less convenient to change my telephone number, email address, and home address. I complained to Best Western International about this incident and about their lack of regard for my... More

After reading these reviews, I probably would not have stayed here so I'm glad I forgot to look it up! We had two rooms for our family, one smoking and one non, and they were both clean and acceptable. The STAFF is what made this place special for us. We arrived in the morning after a four hour drive with... More

Needed an inexpensive hotel in Santee because it is one of the last cities in the state that still operates a drive-in theater and my teenage son had been bugging me to one so he could experience it. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean, had a little microwave and mini fridge in it. Two doors... More
