* dog friendly hotel without any grass or gravel for dogs to relieve themselves, only concrete * dirty yellow stain on the “fresh” linens * 1 inch gap between bottom of front door and door frame * AC which was only blown up into the curtains, was sweating profusely for the 5 minutes we were in the room * yellow and brown stains on nearly every wall * your neighbors will be drug addicts who walk the street and shout at no one * place on the wall for an iron, but no iron * 4 very small, lumpy pillows on bed i hate to be that guy, but we asked for a refund and went somewhere else after 5 minutes in the room. thankfully, the manager allowed us to cancel the reservation, even after checking in. the management does what they can, but i would seriously consider looking at satellite photos of this location from Google Maps/Earth before booking here. our rate was 400 for a room for 2 nights, on the weekend. (do not expect that price to be reflected in the room/property)

Staff was nice throughout the stay. My family and I had stayed for two nights and almost considered leaving after the first. While trying to get my mother registered for the room, a homeless woman said that she needed a key to "her room" and once she was asked for her room number she said she didn't know what room she was in. The staff then told us that she's said that multiple times and never has a reservation. The first night the dog in the room above us was barking ALL NIGHT, without any sign of stopping. On top of that, the police showed up because some man who was under the influence backed his truck into another persons truck and kept trying to back up, not realizing that he was hitting another car. Speaking of the parking lot, all the spots face the same direction, so once you pull into a spot, you have to back out almost to the road just to leave. That night genuinely scared my family and I, but we stayed both nights. The morning of checkout there was a homeless woman sitting by the entrance of the motel. I was told that she was showing her bare bottom to passing cars, standing in the street, and throwing construction cones at cars on the road. My mother did not feel comfortable staying there any longer and we left at 8:30 in the morning. As someone who's 5'6", the shower head had to be almost parallel to be somewhat useable and has 4 settings. normal, which will not hit you if you're over 5', pressure washer, pressure washer 2, and fire hose, the last 3 HURT.

The hotel was adequate but some guest had a barking dog which was surprising and annoying. Several homeless on and around the hotel I will be skipping this location next visit to El Cajon.

When you look up this property online it’s deceiving. It looks decent from the pictures and they charge more than surrounding motels, making one think that it’ll be a nice place. It is not. This place was disgusting. Left over spilt beer next to the refrigerator, sheets and blankets were gross, I didn’t want to get in the shower without shower shoes on. Luckily we brought our slippers to wear around the room. People were running around the balconies and slamming doors till around 3am. Over all it was terrible.
