5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Just feel miss lead I was thinking that the restaurants would be open as well with the pools
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
El Cajon seemed to have a small town good vibe on its surface. However, there seems to be a dark, seedy underbelly that smacks of degeneracy, despair and overall darkness that appears to have saturated parts of the community.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
The city itself is reasonably nice. The area we visit is central to the city and there are a lot of options for activities nearby. The only issue I have is the traffic and the many freeway switches required to travel the area.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Place is nice enough but we stayed on our way in to fly out and when we returned a week later. Both times we were awakened early by other guests possibly going to jobs. Don’t seem to care about how load they are.
3/5 - Okay

Was only there for business.
