Quality Inn & Suites El Cajon

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 The room was clean, but the furniture is very outdated and dingy.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. Continua a leggere

I was in San Diego for my brother’s wedding; we had a family emergency and had to check out a day early. The staff at hotel and with Hotels.com was friendly and processed a refund without pain. Thanks

Love the hotel, was right on the lake. I will go ack

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. Continua a leggere

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.

The room with two double beds was large and clean. The nearby freeway noise was muted by the sound of the room air conditioner. The breakfast was excellent. We will stay here again.

I've stayed at this hotel before, and generally had good experiences. It's convenient, well managed, clean, etc, all for a good price. Except this time we had a bunch of thugs in the room next to us partying like a bunch of gansters at 2am and had to call the staff to knock on their door. (We sure as heck we're going to confront them!) But I think that […] was more the exception than the norm. Continua a leggere

Decent price and nice continental breakfast. I will defenitley stay there again and recomend it to friends. :)

Our family enjoyed our one-night stay at this facility. It was clean, looked almost new, and the layout was adequately spacious. The night check-in staff and the morning staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was not bad. The only two negatives: 1) our side of the building faces the freeway and the noise is discernible, though it didn't bother us, […] 2) the people next door seemed to open and close the door a lot and we could hear and feel it. We would stay here again if we were in the area. Continua a leggere

This hotel is not bad, if you just want to spend one night I guess it's ok. The first thing to note is the fact that it is hard to get too off the East bound 8 sort of tricky. The other thing is that the place seems to have some locals staying there and when we arrivied I notice some of them hanging around, my impression is that one should be careful […] around this place, but I should also mention that I had no problems. Room are clean, breakfast was great, nice selection of food items. Freeway noise on one side and train on the other. Would I stay again? yes. Continua a leggere

Showed up Friday evening. The young lady behind the desk was VERY kind and helpful. Checked in, suite was well worth the extra money in having two full bathrooms. The breakfast was good - standard fare though. Sausage, waffles, cereal, hard boiled eggs, pastries, juices and coffee. The hotel is about 15 minutes from downtown and Qualcomm. The only […] downside is that one side of the hotel faces the freeway and the other the trolley tracks. So if you're a really light sleeper, it might be difficult to sleep. Otherwise it is a nice hotel for a good value, especially for the traveling family Continua a leggere

The worst part of this location was the fact that it sits right next to the local redline/metrolink type of transportation line. Quite often, you hear the train go by. It is relatively quiet, but had I known it was there, I would have chosen a different hotel. Also, the trash truck came very early in the morning.

Very clean room, grounds kept up, staff great for customer serivce and breakfast was good.

The rate was excellent for a good clean place to sleep. The motel had clean facilities, ample breakfast, and a variety of amenities. From the motel we needed access to the airport, San Diego Zoo, Sea World and Tijuana. It was close enough to all. I would recommend them to budget travelers.

the staff was friendly & courteous. The pool was cold but jacuzze nice & warm. the breakfast area was nice & spacious and they left the toaster & coffee pot out so that I could get coffee when I came in after a long drive & fix toast with the bread that I brought. Other places put everything away & no coffee or tea for a weary traveler.

The Quality Inn & Suites in El Cajon was a great stay for us. 3 nights. We were there to see my sister who lives at the border of La Mesa and San Diego. The location is awesome. The only drawback some might see is it is pretty isolated. I liked that, you might not. Nothing within walking distance. It sits between the Freeway and the trolley tracks. […] I was on the Freeway side and was not bothered by the traffic at all. If being out of the City is for you, this is the place. Easy drive to the City and points of interest. Continua a leggere

I loved the hotel. We had wi-fi, a nice pool, jacuzzi. It's nice watching the train go by only a few hundred feet from the pool. The only complaint I have is that the fire alarm went off early in the morning while i was trying to sleep and stayed on for a good 10 minutes before the hotel would turn it off. You couldn't hear yourself talk... it blared […] through the room. Continua a leggere

This was our second time staying at this motel within the last 2 months. Price was right. A/C unit is older and did not spread around the air very well. One side of the room was warm and the other side was cool. Staff seemed a bit overwelmed keeping the breakfast bar stocked even though the motel did not appear to be fully occupied.

Double bed rooms face a freeway, noisy. Air conditioners old, but work. Location hard to find.

had a great stay. Would definetly stay again.

I have stayed at this hotel in emergencies before as it is between my home and job. Even though I had stayed before and did not like th hotel after reading reviews online sayint it was so great I decided to take the chance. It was just how I remembered seedy, old and stinky. The staff was very nice and accomidating and the breadkfast was good. My room […] stunk, the elevator stunk, the outside hallways stunk even. My room was supposed to be non smoking yet there were cigarette burns in the coffee table and the edge was all chewed up. There was a dirty old ashtray sitting outside my room for the entire time of my 3 night stay tath was never cleaned out. I would never stay here again. I am sure they wrote all those reviews themselves because this hotel is old seedy and stinky and the nicest staff in the world can not change this fact! Continua a leggere

We would rate our stay at Quality Inn and Suites 5 stars. The room was neat and comfortable and the staff was very helpful. But what makes the hotel different from the others to us was the staff's approach and attitude when we had to encounter a very unfortunate incident while staying at the hotel. The staff was very cooperative and they demonstrated […] humaneness in their approach. We would have been quite at a loss to handle the situation if not for the staff's appropriate responses.

During our stay I, father of the family got up to use the restroom in our room at about 0300 hours. When turning on the light to the restroom a roach was climbing up the wall. I promptly killed it with a shoe and was forced to convince myself not to inform my family until they woke up the next morning. From that point on we did not keep food or snacks […] out of the frige. On our last day I opened the ice container and found a very small roach inside the ice bag, my wife standing next to me, I showed it to her and she stated thank goodness we did not get ice. There were what looked like workmen staying at the hotel which were loud and slammed doors when they returned to the hotel I guess after they worked at night, very early in the morning. Being a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER from another state I have to admit that I was abit worried for my families safety. Also upon our initial arrival I noticed men hanging around the pool area which convinced me to not allow my young daughter and son to utlilize it. Again being a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER my training suggested it would not be a good idea to allow my children to be exposed to these men. The hotel was fine for the exceptions mentioned. We suggest only to the management, they may reconsider or consider the persons they have staying at this hotel. From a law enforcement Officers point of view to other law enforcement Officials, please listen to this review. As you law enforcement officers know we are noticable if we choose to be. Keep yourselves safe and your families. Like we all know off duty it is better to be a good witness than a hero. Continua a leggere

This was our first time in a Quality Inn & Suits and their first impression on us was great. Minutes from everything we did in San Diego that weekend. We will be back again next time!

The hotel was what we expected in the price range. Clean room, good breakfast with hot waffles, pleasant staff. Mary, at the front desk, was specially helpful. The only complaint was a large, noisy group after hours at the pool. A call to the night manager produced no results.

It is basic for a high price. Internet was iffy at best, cutting in an out. Breakfast was okay at least to save the day.Just reproved to myself that the pictures always look better.

Agree with comments about overly noisy air conditioner. Really ought to bite the bullet and replace these ancient items. Otherwise room was nicely updated and remodeled to a reasonable standard for this price point. Breakfast was very good and parking convenient.

This was the last hotel we stayed at during our family vacation in Cali and it was by far the very best hotel we stayed at. The rooms were ready upon arrival, they were very clean and roomy. The linens were plentiful and the beds oh so comfy! There was a mini fridge and microwave in the rooms and the A/C worked like a charm. Even though out room faced […] the freeway the noise wasn't at all bad and didn't bother us at all. The location was close to everything. They had a breakfast that was included that was actually very decent. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone. The staff was great and very friendly and accommodating (we requested a late check out). Now that I have stayed here I wont be staying anywhere else again but here when traveling. Continua a leggere

I try not to stay in places that use the word "Inn" or a number in their name. This place changed my mind. Well apportioned rooms meant a good nights sleep. The breakfast was above average to say the least. In other reviews a couple of people complained about a train and the freeway . . . I never heard either; in fact, the only time I knew the train […] was going by was when I happened to be outside and saw it. (It's an electric - light rail type.) Continua a leggere

My travel companion and I chose this hotel to stay because of its proximity to the nearby university. After having traveled in torrential rains, we were very happy to be warmly greeted by the staff. We did opt to upgrade to a suite because we were staying for a few days. My bed was comfortable, but my travel companion did mention that the pull-out […] sofa bed was not that great--something to think about if you will be renting a suite yourself Our particular room did have an odor of some sort--not sure if it had previously been a smoking suite or if smoke was drifting in from outside through the AC/heater unit. It was very noticeable at first, but it wasn't strong enough to prompt me to change rooms. The hotel itself is located in sort of an odd place by the freeway--it is the only building in the area, and you have to be very cognizant of the street signs in the area (some no turns/no u-turns, forking of the road). Overall: Pros: Value-priced, helpful and nice staff, relatively good continental breakfast, wi-fi access Neutral: Location, comfort of room, older fixtures Cons: Odd smell, noise from the nearby trolley tracks on the hill Continua a leggere

I often visit family in the San Diego area. I decided to try a different hotel than I normally do. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. First off, the complementary breakfast is bigger than most. Sausage, two waffle makers (for those who have ever waited in line to make a waffle, you'll know how important that is) many different types of cereals, danishes […] and fruit. And the room is big enough and with enough tables to sit and be comfortable. The building is a little old, and the decor not up to style. However, the room was very comfortable and had an AC that meant business. Could have used a slightly bigger TV. And for those who complained about the traffic noise. My room faced the freeway and I didn't hear a sound the two nights I stayed. Overall, I have found a new favorite hotel in the area and will be going back. Continua a leggere

Room was very clean and organized. The location was good because there was no busy traffic so entering and leaving the hotel was easy. Great friendly employees and worked well with us. Beds were very comparable to ours at home, but we had to get 2 queen size beds instead of our Cali king, it was the only way to get a non smoking room and really only […] needed one for myself, wife and 2 year old. Other than that the room was really comfortable and decent price for a weekend price. Continua a leggere

We stayed there for 2 nights and enjoyed it. Close to most attractions in San Diego and is much cheaper than staying in Hotel Circle. Close to Mall and restaurants. Breakfast is decent with good varieties. Breakfast room is large and can be used as a conference room/meeting room. Swimming pool and spa offers extra enjoyment.and open tills 10:00 p.m. Room […] can be cleaner but comfortable enough for resting overnight. Cheaper booking through hotel directly with AAA discount than through common hotel booking websites. Close to freeway, room facing freeway can be a bit noisy. Continua a leggere

To much noise from the freeway, it's right next to freeway 8 couldn't sleep at all.

I have now stayed here (5) times. My kid attens SDSU. The hotel has an excellent location to CA 8. The room is always clean and beds comfortable. The noise factor just depends on who is staying there. Awesome pool and spa!!

Great experience at this Hotel. Very clean room, great breakfast and what a huge breakfast room to eat in. Employees are wonderful here.

This hotel never lets us down. Priced well, outstanding breakfast bar and large lounge to sit in. Service is exemplary. Room was immaculent. This is our second stay. Our room had everything: Microwave, fridge, iron and wireless internet. This is the perfect hotel.

Our room was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The bathroom was a nice size. We had a comfortable two-night stay.

I cannot believe how nice this hotel was. The rooms were large and clean and it came with a microwave and fridgerator. The beds were firm and so comfortable. Immaculent room! Then the topper was the free breakfast that came with hot sausage and waffles. The breakfast room was huge! Plenty of tables/chairs. Enjoyed the flat screen tv, and Sunday paper. […] There was so much food for everyone. Nicest breakfast room I've seen. Nothing negative to report. Highly recommended! Continua a leggere

I cannot believe how upscale this hotel was. From the awesome warm breakfast to the immaculent room. Even our pets loved it! The grass was near our door for our pets. And the beds were so comfortable. We will definitely stay at Quality Inn Hotels from now on! Highly recommended! 10 out of 10.

For the price, it was fine. I just needed a place to sleep. The front desk people were very nice, and the free breakfast, microwave, and refrigerator were definitely a plus. Wouldn't recommend if you are with a family, or are easily frightened - seemed like a lot of local people use it as a hangout. But I had business in El Cajon so, being only 1 mile […] away from my destination, it is definitely the best option around. It's the best 2-star hotel you will find in the area. Continua a leggere

Room smelled of Urine. Not very clean. Would not stay here again.

We were looking for an inexpensive hotel for our trip to Seaworld. After all, you pay so much inside the park, who wants to spend a fortune on lodging! I was pleased with our room, the service, and the cleanliness of the pool area. You have to put up with some freeway noise but that's par for the course at most places. The location was a perfect distance […] to downtown without downtown or beachfront rates. I would definitely stay here again. Continua a leggere

It was a little difficult, due to signage (not the hotel's fault) to locate the hotel the first time.
