Top East County Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon

8/10 Good
"The room was very big and clean. bathroom walls need new paint job. Appreciated fridge, microwave, king bed, wall art, hardwood floor. A/C worked well, no elevator for second floor made it difficult for us at age 75, TV remote very sluggish to obey commands....irritating. Breakfast had no protein, just sweet carbs, white bread, etc. Tanya very sweet at office. Overall score: 85"
