Hotels near Zales, El Cajon

Staff goes all the way and the extra mile. Beautiful and well kept property in the university area, lots of restaurants nearby. Daily housekeeping ! Dropped something in the room w/o noticing, maid put it on the nightstand. Way to go ! Rooms are on the simple side and maybe a bit outdated, but clean and comfortable. Variety at breakfast could be a lot better. I mean, no peanutbutter ? Really ? But otherwise impeccable.

I've stayed at this hotel twice now for a relaxing staycation. When it comes to my actual hotel room, it's a good room. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Really nothing bad to say about the room. The one thing I didn't like about staying here is the food/restaurant options. You can't bring your own food into the hotel so you have to use their restaurants. While the food was decent at the grill area, I hated that I had to travel from my room all the way to the grill for my meals and then bring it back to my room. I didn't feel like having all my meals at the sit down restaurants. Those meals are pricier. I believe they have a food court but that wasn't open yet. So for now that is my con. Having to get food to eat. I also used their fitness center and it was nice. Some good decent cardio machines and weights to do a good workout. Place was great to have a good workout. As for their spa ritual, i loved LOVED when I got a mani/pedi and a massage. The massage was fairly relaxing but it was my pedicure that I loved. The staff member took her time and made it comfortable and relaxing. One of the best pedicures I've had in a very long time. I would HIGHLY recommend coming to the spa. Oh, I also got to use the pool. Food is more expensive here. Place can get a bit crowded so come early to get a good spot. As my title says... Staycation! If you're a San Diego local then I would suggest this place for a nice weekend getaway.

I had a peaceful night thanks to you guys

Just an average hotel. It's clean, but tired. Beds are fine, bathrooms are fine, and pool is fine. You'll sleep fine here, but I probably wouldn't return to it and would rather try a Holiday Inn Express or Best Western instead. Pool - It looked ok, but pretty cold (checked in Feb). The hot tub is more of a warm tub. If I had small kids, I bet they'd take a quick dip in the 77-78 degree larger pool and then hang out in the hot tub. Breakfast - Seems like the standard fare of eggs from a mix, muffins, bagels, and the oh so favorite of absolutely no one, red delicious apples. Why are those at every single hotel free breakfast. Would have loved to have seen something special or different at this hotel. We ended up going out to somewhere else for breakfast. Rooms - Clean, but kind of out dated. Bathroom had a bit of mold in the calking, but overall it was fine. Internet - I'm typing this review on the provided free internet. I'm getting 3Mbit down and 4Mbit up so not exactly the fastest, but it will let you type up TripAdvisor reviews. Google Maps struggles to draw directions and FaceTime doesn't work that well. Might be a variety of reasons so your milage may vary. Parking - By far my biggest complaint. There is tons of parking everywhere. I don't know how anyone would get here unless they had a car. They charge $5 per night to park at the hotel. There is no value add here except what feels like a money grab. I suppose you could park at a nearby business park, but parking at the hotel is probably your best bet. Why not just wrap the charge into the room rate? They don't provide any sort of added security and there's no shortage of spots available.

Great location just minutes drive to Mission and downtown areas. Rooms are spacious and clean. Only issue is maintaining AC temp through out the night, somehow it seems the AC goes off about 3 am. Free complimentary breakfast with good selection, preparation, and presentation.

My husband and I decided to stay in the Cula Vista area, due to cost effectiveness and close proximity to San Diego. We were there to attend a family member's college graduation in San Diego. First off this hotel may seem a bit out of the way, but the drive to and from San Diego was not bad at all. This hotel offered us great service, upon check in and throughout our three night stay. Our King room was very clean and spacious enough for our basic needs. I only ate the breakfast once and I found it to be good. The hotel is also very close to eateries and shopping strips. I only gave it four stars because whenever we were in our room we could hear a very heavy footed person walking around above us (even in the middle of the night). Overall I recommend this hotel.

Originally chose this one to see it has a refrigerator and battery stove for a small half-month stay. But the refrigerator is very noisy and the air conditioning system is the same. In addition, the hotel is not adequately staffed, every time I remind the front desk staff to do hygiene. But someone came only the next day. Also laundry and drying is expensive. Laundry room costs $16 at a time. Also due to close to the highway, the environmental noise problem is serious.

Nice hotel. Everything is clean and up to date. Hotel has an included breakfast (typical hotel type). Convenient location in hotel circle makes it easy to get to where you're going each day. You do have to drive a little for most dining options. Parking is $20 per night (depending on who checks you in they may reduce it to $10, but make sure they actually do that on your bill. I've had them say that and then when I check my credit card they charged the full amount). That's why they only get 2 stars for service on this trip.
