Disliked: Cleanliness
It is a good hotel but our room smelled like sewage and we reported it to the front desk and they sent maintenance while we were gone and nothing was done it still smelled horrible. This happened the last time we stayed there and also the air conditioning didn't work the last time. But this time it worked great.

The Best In El Cajon.
Best hotel in San Diego, been traveling to San Diego for 30 years and this one is the best! Especially after El Cajon cleaned up the streets. It’s safe.
