Top El Cajon Hotel Reviews

California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Good stay, nice people. One of the beds in the 2 double bed room I stayed in This last time was a little bit worn, but still pretty comfortable and the other mattress was fine. I do wish they had microwaves in their standard rooms but you usually have to get an upgraded room for that. Most of the time, you can’t beat the price to stay here, unless you stay in El Cajon or further up north. Staff always greet you when you walk into the lobby and overall I would say this is one of the best (relatively) affordable places to stay in SD. Housekeeping staff are also very friendly and they do an excellent job"
