Top Old Mission Dam Hotel Reviews

Best Western San Diego/Miramar Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Only issue I had was how old the interior was and dirty in some parts. The bathroom tubs had huge paint bubbles when stand in them and walk around seemed loose since it would move when youd walk on it. The grout buildup on the tiles were thick and the carpet stunk like wet dog. The carpet and bathrooms need a hard revamp /replacing for sure as well as their fridges. Mine didnt even work half the time. Otherwise, staff was great, amenities were nice and beds and room we're comfy. Had a great stay overall with my family."

Lamplighter Inn & Suites at SDSU

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 3 days. Clean and Good size room. Complementary breakfast was an added bonus."

Best Western Santee Lodge

8/10 Good

"Just a nice place to sleep"

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."

Rodeway Inn Santee San Diego East

10/10 Excellent
