Holiday Inn Express La Mesa Near SDSU by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great price, clean, spacious and newly remodeled rooms in an older hotel. Pool was a no go. But everything else was great"

Best Western Santee Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet and clean place"

Hampton Inn & Suites El Cajon San Diego

8/10 Good

"Terrible parking because of the In-N-Out next-door. At least in the nighttime."

Lamplighter Inn & Suites at SDSU

10/10 Excellent

"This is our go to spot. The rooms are dated but always clean prices are economical and they do not charge for parking. Great location to be close to our daughters at sdsu Only wish they would get rid of carpet in rooms. There is a distinct smell in every room. An old musty smell that I assume is the carpet."

Carlton Oaks Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly. On the down side, our window overlooked a sandy area where people practice putting. The air condition started smelling like rotten eggs (sulfur) in the late evening. I called the front desk and was told that that was normal because of the water pumps outside. The front desk was locked around 10:15 am when I went to refill my water bottle and ask for hot water for tea, and there was a note saying it wouldn’t be opening until 11 AM, which was checkout time. Nonetheless, the room sufficed and the bed was comfortable."
