Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon

My overall stay was good. The jets in the Jacuzzi did not work. Service was good.

The room smelled really bad like cigarettes it smelled like that the whole 3 days we stayed

Next to a Denny’s A lot of traffic

Easy to find, restaurant and fuel next door. Room was very quiet ac worked great.

The receptionist that greeted us upon checking in spent almost 10 minutes on the phone before taking g card of us. It’s like no one was there in front of her finally she acknowledged and apologized for staying on phone .

everything was very good

Breakfast was horrible. They had greek yogurt with no toppings

Exceptional

Very good

clean room, friendly staff....did not use the breakfast facility.. The beds are so comfortable Maby round the pool area ( which I did not use) could be kept up better..

Rooms were cheap clean property was clean convenient close to where I was working

I had cold water shower barely got hot, but other than that stay was fine.

The staff was wonderful, check in/check out was easy and the rooms were comfortable and clean! N/A

Easy access The location

Easy access The location

It was close to the highway and restaurants. Didn't like the parking situation..since it seemed open for non hotel guest to park. We couldn't get the television to work either.. they should make it simple. My father who is 70 years old couldn't get a channel

For the price and location the room was decent and clean enough. Noise from the freeway was loud and a draft from under the door made the room cold so I had to cover the bottom with a towel.

Not much of breakfast just cereal ,instant oatmeal orange juice and apple juice. Starbucks and Dennis on same lot.

Staff excellent Bathroom- water force was very poor,just dribble. Room condition was excellent

Good value. Next to Denny's and Starbucks. Water pressure was poor.

Everything was terrific. The room was very clean. The Hot tub and pool were clean and very relaxing. The continental breakfast has a large variety of goodies for adults and children to choose from. Will be returning again ☺️

Location right off the 8 Denny’s & Starbucks in the parking lot ???? Could have more parking spots near rooms but lot is big

Floor dirty huge roach in bathroom. Housekeeper started knocking at 9 am every hour till I left.

Great place definitely recommend

Staff was unhelpful

!

Good hotel to spend the night. Does it purpose.

Decent affordable place to stay. Very pleased with accommodations.

Decent accommodations.

This is a great place for couples! Very quiet and private.

Clean rooms, good breakfast

This is an older, well-used property that shows the signs of its ageing. That said, it's safe, clean and well-maintained. It's a top value for its price and I would gladly stay there in the future.

Very clean room although I found 2 bugs around the bathroom but other than that it was great

Little noises . But So far so good .

It is okay. All outdoor rooms, in a questionable neighborhood. Our room & the lobby smelled too strong of Fabuloso cleaning solution! Therefore, the stay was not as pleasant as it could have been. Decent continental breakfast.

Good breakfast Excellent staff

Breakfast options are slim. No fresh fruit. They should add hard boiled eggs and bagels/cream cheese.

The hotel room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The property looked a bit worn. We chose this hotel as it was near the church we were going to the next day. That worked out well.

Friendly service

Very nice place very clean

Food was good and the bed

The room was perfect very clean. Pool and hot tub was clean as well

Place was okay, service good

They have amenities like a pool and refrigerator and microwave. Everything is very old and run down. Good to sleep and that’s it. Homeless encampment juts feet away from our door. It felt very unsafe.

The hot tub isnt very big or deep

I have stayed here many times. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I do take my own towel and blanket as the ones provided are skimpy. The staff is always friendly and polite.

Yes

This place is close to Dennys and Starbucks.

Excellent place, clean pool and hot tub. Very nice rooms with large bathrooms

Room had a smell

I wouldn’t stay here again

Room was clean. AC worked great. Shower was super hot. Bed was comfortable. Enjoyed the couch in my room. Pool was wonderful. Only wish the jacuzzi was a couple more degrees hot like the shower was. Staff was great.

Day’s Inn has a great location for traveling on foot, bus or trolley to many locations. I will stay here again on my next trip.

Called prior to booking to ensure their hot tub was working, due to previous disappointments, and was assured it was and was told the hours. However, not one time in my six night stay was the hot more than luke warm. I would complain and be told that it would be turned on earlier in the day to ensure it was hot. Never happened. The hotel itself is older and could use maintenance, the rooms were clean, and the staff was responsive in all other areas, just assume that they don't really have a working jacuzzi and you eill be fine.

The room was clean. The faucet in the bathroom sink needed repair, it sprayed everywhere. That would be room 110.

The tub was clogged and we couldn't shower and had to kill a cockroach in the middle of the night. We couldn't change rooms because they were sold out. Breakfast the next morning was lacking, no yogurt or waffles and mostly bread ends were left.

When I arrived that evening the lady at the front desk was very nice and friendly. I was in my room within minutes. Now the lady in the morning, she gave me the impression that I was bothering her, she seemed annoyed. She was not friendly at all.

It could be ok if using this hotel over night, we stayed 3 nights, it was too long to enjoy the trip.

Clean room modern feel. Pool is nice

Location is a little shady, in a rough part of town. There is a Dennys next door open 24 hours,

The room was very clean , plenty of towels provided honestly the whole stay was great just the jacuzzi was not warm at all

Everything is good, very clean but the air conditioner made a big noise and shower made bathroom watery.

‏

Horrible for the price. and a $150 deposit for a place they do not even clean properly

The hair dryer was broken. Asked for a new one, and they never brought it. Depended on the hair dryer. Too bad they couldn't even get a new one to me!

Pool.freezing, jacuzzi barely warm.and no towels.even after i requested them. Breakfast bar offers little.to.nothing for health conscious eaters

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone. The food and drinks were amazing I cannot wait to go back

Room had broken tiles on the floor, TV didn't work, morning staff not very friendly

Room cleanness prior to arriving. Towels need to be checked and no stains.

We requested a non smoking room and as soon as we opened the door it wreaked straight out pure Marjuana

Tv didnt work for some reason.. other than that the room was good

Hot tub just said “closed until further notice” - it was one of the main reasons I chose that hotel over several comparable ones nearby that were less expensive

Great service.room was clean and included breakfast

its great and clean

Check in was fast and easy and staff was friendly.

Bed was very comfortable!

The room was clean and what i expected from a days inn. Clean towels and sheets. The beds were very comfortable.

Was not able to complete stay and checked out early.

👍

The room was great and the location was easy to get too

Everything is great the people is great but need better breakfast and there were was dirty shoe prints and hair in the bathroom and little dusty /allergies was bad cause the AC unit has the filter mess up

Yes was clean and nice i

The best choice

Amazing

They gave away my CONFIRMED handicapped accessible room BEFORE checkin!! Ruined the entire trip.

Overall the room was okay. The shower plug was broken, there was a repetative light from the phone that kept going off, and it's almost been a week and I still haven't been refunded my deposit.

I stayed here for Three nights. The main reason why I booked this hotel compared to other hotels at same price range was this hotel had a Jacuzzi. The Jacuzzi was not working, but staff had told me it was working when I called ahead to ask. This hotel advertises complementary breakfast. Their complementary breakfast only consists of toast, waffles, pastries, and coffee. The boiled eggs had gone bad. I was disappointed with the breakfast.

Great!!

They felt like sacks of hard sponge pieces.

Tired hotel. Unfriendly staff. Television didn’t work and staff didn’t care

Hot tub out of order

We saw one cockroach.

Room was in good condition, but the check-in experience was not good. The staff was nice and friendly. Breakfast menu was very limited.

Todo bien

Check-in was fast and simple, the staff here at Wyndham went above and beyond to make any request I had met. Would absolutely stay here again!

Bed was made everyday and the property was clean

Dirty parking week maintenance

Clean room comfortable bed excellent staff conveniently located next Starbucks/ Denny’s/ Gas stations and freeway entrance. Parking was good. And breakfast was enough and hotel area area was quiet. That was surprisingly nice Thank you again.

I did see the hot tub. Parking is good.

The "breakfast" was stale cereal, frozen waffles or toast, the customer service was terrible 5 out of 6 staff were rude, we couldn't get our room cleaned because they "didn't have time", and there was NO hot water it got luke warm at best. Truly the worst hotel stay I've had.

Despite complaining, there was no hot water in Room 118 either the evening of 12/6/2025 or the next morning. I was assured hot water would be restored by morning. It was not and no remediation or compensation was given.

I was very surprised how nice the pkace was,i checked other reviews on line before i booked my stay, the room was very clean and a microwave was a plus so all in all i enjoyed my stay

Rooms were very clean and efficient

The room was really clean, the bed was comfy. The pillows could definitely use some love added so bring your own if you’re picky like me! Breakfast was some bagged pastry’s but there is a dennys and starbs in the parking lot!

Front desk is not welcoming and the toilet in my room had urine when i arrived. I complained about my room floor being super dirty and they did say nothing but ok

The lobby doesn't has a restroom 🚺 and the costumer service lady Maria don't give me access until she give me the room key . I arrived on time but my room not was ready and don't give me access for a restroom. I feel that situation rude 😔

People smoking Outside The Room , parking

Room was fine. Band-Aid on the remote. Staff was excellent!

For where we needed to go it was easy off and on freeway and the hot tub was a good way to relax at the end of the day

The room was not that clean and the bed was very uncomfortable I would not re

Nc

The hotel was close to all the places we needed to go. East of and on freeway. The hot tub was a great way to relax.

No warm breakfast

The room was very clean. Coffee and toast was greatly appreciated!

The floors was so dirty and we asked the front desk to ask someone to come up and look and maybe change the room for us but no help I will not book again here

Good

Poor customer service on the front desk

Breakfast was not very good.

Clean room and very polite employees.

Outstanding staff support

Our room had the highway right behind us and could be heard in the morning. We also saw 2 cockroaches. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were cleaned up daily and well maintained. Looked recently renovated.

The front desk staff was efficient and friendly fly. The room was very nice, clean and big with a nice comfy bed and big bathroom with lighted mirror. The surrounding area may not be the best, but i felt completely safe at the inn.

Very clean hotel and nice staff. Very recommend❤️❤️❤️

Clean room

Staff was friendly but the room had roaches I showed the front desk a video of them on the bed. Room smelled like someone had smoked in it before. Lots of transients roaming the property grounds and parking lot.

Need a waffle maker and floors need to be mopped daily.

Rooms are clean but very basic. Laminate flooring so no carpet which can be a good thing. Frig, microwave, and small single-serv coffee machine. Again, its 2 star. Bed is fine. AC worked. Lobby and "breakfast" are all in one place. Breakfast is very, very limited. Toast, frozen waffles, packaged danishes, cereal, hard boil eggs, coffee, tea and juice. No fruit, no oatmeal, no bagels, no eggs or meats and not muffins. Poor. I guess you get what you pay for. I wouldn't vacation there, just a night to crash. Lastly, neighborhood is sketchy. Dennys and Starbucks in the same parking lot.

Noisy at night from people fighting .

The property was not in a nice location, it looked as if it was an apartment building instead of my hotel

I spilled water from my water bottle and cleaned it up with a towel from the bathroom. The towel was filthy, the floors in our room were absolutely disgusting. When I told the front desk this, she said ow well they may charge you for that towel. Mind blowing, just mind blowing; your floor were filthy and me using a towel to clean up clear liquid, the same liquid the towels is made for I. The bathroom and you could care less about how gross your room is and just about your towel. Do not stay here! Horribly dirty, unsafe areas, staff is just totally unbelievable.

Decent room (a little dusty) parking was okay…a few riff raff walking around the parking lot. Need more towels and blankets.

Over all it was ok. Our tv never worked they tried to fix it but signal kept going out. Room 226. Then the thing that threw me off the most is the free breakfast wasn’t a hot breakfast. They do have boiled eggs, toast, two types of cereals, milk, hot tea and coffee and some pastries but I was hoping it was one with eggs and sausage. Room was very clean and comfortable and Yisinia the maid was stellar. She was awesome!

Guest were loud front desk did not seem to care at all. I work in the hotel business and this place had no care to take care of there guest.

People living in their cars in the parking lot people doing drugs in the parking lot. Breakfast was a joke people living in rooms, noisy

The pool is not heated. People are obviously living here with obnoxious kids making noise all night and the continental breakfast is a joke not anything like in the pictures will not come back to this hotel after staying here a week.

Wish I had stayed somewhere else to be completely honest.

Over all OK!

Walked in room and it smelled like civilization. Had to use my husband’s cologne all weekend just for the smell to go away. There’s a cap on the door that’s big enough for bugs and rodents and air from outside to come in. One of the lights on the dining area was very dim. The bedframe was extremely dusty very as it was never cleaned for two years or so. One of the staff at the front desk was not the friend Elias did not smile. Did not have a welcome attitude And just seem like she did not want to be there helping people. There was no parking around the area we had to wait for someone to leave in order to park on a spot where we would not get to. The area doesn’t seem safe. There was a car parked in the hotel area that was just hanging out in the parking lot Looking at other people pass through.

Starbucks and Denny’s in the parking lot. Room appeared clean but smelled strong of cigarette smoke. Bed was way too soft and provided no support. My back paid the price, but there are some who might prefer that. The office with the check-in desk also smelled strong.

100% recommended.

Nice

Guy at front desk is very rude. On his phone talking and playing video games instead of helping guest check out. And also the room had a square hole in the ceiling with insulation and cables hanging out. Doesn't provide a secure feeling.

Right next to the freeway.

Lots of people just hanging around.

Pleasant place to stay

Old outdated property poorly maintained. Continental breakfast was skimpy

Good place to stay at but if it's non smoking it should smell like a non smoking room. Pretty big rooms though and the jacuzzi was cool.

The room itself looked okay, but it wasn’t very clean. The folding bed still had a dirty blanket left from the previous guest. It was also quite loud since it’s right next to the freeway.

Overall stay was great! Found hair in the bathtub and table was dusty.

It was great Definitely will consider it for my next stay

Easy check in. Room was clean and comfortable.. Free breakfast very convenient. I will definitely consider the place for another stay.

Breakfast is a lite continental - cereal, bread, hard boiled eggs, packaged danishes, fruit juice and coffee.

It’s pretty dingy and most areas have a lingering cigarette smoke smell. The pool area looms very nice and clean

I booked the hotel through hotels.com and the hotel I booked was not pet friendly; therefore, they refused my stay and refused to refund me my stay.

Everything was as expected.

The staff are very friendly and, helpful

Great front desk service. Nice staff, friendly and respectful.

When I drove up after dark to check in, I found drug dealers in the parking lot and hookers on the street corner. So we booked a different hotel in a different location.

Place was nice and comfy. Decent stay at a very genuine price.

Convenient location

The hotel was great and the staff are more wonderful and also deserves five stars

Decent for the price

Stayed for a place to sleep while on a work trip. The king size room was large and exactly what I needed but King Size Beds Deserve King Size Pillows (not a bunch of little square pillows.) Besides that, ample parking & close to the freeway.

The room had remodel issues from inexperienced workmen; huge bubble in the laminate floor from improper installation, bathroom sink faucet handle was mounted backwards.

Room was very nice and brand new. The only thing was it smelled like cigarette smoke. I think it might have been a smoking room at one time.

I won’t recommend it bad experience

Breakfast is so bad

Clean a quiet place

The room was clean but there was a smell like someone was smoking in the room sometime ago. It was not super strong and hotel probably attempted to get rid of it but it was not completely gone. The worst thing about this hotel was breakfast. I have been to many hotels in US and other countries and this one was easily the worst. The area around hotel was average. There were restaurants and shopping in the neighborhood but also homeless people staying next to hotel. Overall, it felt like a cheap hotel

It was good

We arrive there at 12:30 AM and the employee end up giving us a room which was already occupied. We were trying to open the room and we heard a person inside the room. When we went back, the employee didn’t even apologize. After that, we got another room on this room. The AC didn’t work. The shower tub was clogged so we were not able to shower. Also, it didn’t have an iron as well. I suggest no one booked this hotel.

When I arrived at checkin the Front Desk shouted from the back office to wait she will be right up and contined her personal ohone call for 5 minutes. I checked in and dropped my bags off to go for dinner. When I arrived back to my room the deadbolt did not latch on my door. I called the front desk and was askwd very rudely how come I didnt check the door when I checked in and there was no maintenence available. I asked about another room and was told Nope none available. I slept with my table and chairs against the door. The next day i talked with the front desk again no empathy and she came to my room to check the lock. She said if maintenance couldnt fix I had to return to checkout of my room for another room. Maintenence would be there at 12 and would need to checkout afterwards. Iwas told I couldnt cancel my reservation. The property is outdated, dirty, noisy and smelt of marijuana smoke. I will not be staying here in the future. Waste of money, in the future booking a hotel or air bnb.

The exterior of the hotel is poorly maintained and completely run down. The floors of the room were absolutely filthy and made the bottoms of our feet black. The "breakfast" that was offered was slices of white bread and hard boiled eggs. When asked if they could refill the coffee pot in the lobby, we were told that would take 30 minutes. The overall experience was TERRIBLE! This hotel should be removed from hotels.com

M

The room was extremely dirty. The floor was so dusty we wiped the kids feet off with a small towel and they charged us $100 for it. They kept my deposit and the woman was very very rude.

Someone had recently smoked in the room or just outside. Distinct odor of stale cigarette smoke.

Cozy bed, very quiet and convenient

This place needs more attention to all things.

Room was okay, found a dead cockroach in ttd bathroom. Was rushed to get out of room. The continental breakfast in the morning was very sparse. For the price of the room per night, should have been much better.

Quiet

Room was clean. Staff was friendly except having to wait for several minutes for someone to come to the night window.

Was not so clean service was so bad

Dennys and Starbucks in the same parking lot

I originally messed up and actually needed the room until the 24th and I only had it booked until the 23rd. I asked the hotel at the beginning to book me another day. When I went to complain about the roaches on the 23rd (because that's when I found them), they told me I couldn't book another night and I had to leave.

Clean quiet place

Good and safe

Beds are not comfortable, floors were welted and uneven inside the room. The breakfast is a joke! Thank goodness Starbucks and Denny’s are a short walk away!👎👎

It was okay. The floor was warped so it was very uncomfortable to walk on. Other than that it was good.

It was close to freeway also, there is a Denny's on the same block

I like it

Front desk lady was supper great with her customer service skill

The room was clean. Furnishing a bit dated, It was a quiet area and close to coffee shop and restaurants. Over all was a good experience and I would stay there again when in the El Cajon area.

Also - and this is a random problem but maybe indicative of the service/mgmt team - I called ahead to see if I could have a package delivered to the hotel; they said yes, as long as it showed up during my stay or on the day I would check in. It was an item I needed during my trip. Well, they turned the package away when it arrived a couple hours before I checked in. It was returned to sender and I wasn't able to get that item. Pretty upsetting; I would have found another way if they didn't give me the green light to send it there. I think this shows poor communication and poor guest consideration on the management/service team side. Also, the breakfast offering left a lot to be desired. We ate at the Denny's next door instead. Still, not the worst place I've stayed. It'll do in a pinch.

dirty area

Very Convenient

Everything was perfect. I’m grateful and satisfied about staying in this property. Thank you so much.

Clean, good value, comfortable & plenty of room. Not much offered for breakfast, but having a Denny's right there helps.

Tv wasn’t working

The experience was horrible. The room smelled extremely bad. The water was barely coming out of the shower and the sink. The land phone in the room was out of order. The breakfast supposedly was till 10 am, at 9:30 I came no coffee, no food, no water, only bread and jam. There was no staff on site. Horrible experience!

Terrible

There was bed bugs from room 120 and in another room our guys tripped over a big lump in the middle of the floor. Looks like the floor is raising from the bottom.

They kept my $100 deposit over cereal we spilled on accident .forget this place !!! It sucks

Great place!

Dirty rooms, unprofessional staff

Didn't really care for it

Good location for employees working in the San Diego area. Plenty of parking

Served its purpose for employees working in the San Diego area. Plenty of parking

This was part of a vacation and we really loved this hotel. Planning to stay there again in july

Great customer service

The 6 rooms were for our employees working in the San Diego area. Have not heard any complaints from any of them.

Good value

Room was smelling like cigarettes and it was non smoking

Staff was friendly, room clean and breakfast adequate. Lots of parking spaces.

It was great

Clean and very friendly staff.

Pool looked nice, too cold for that on this trip. Clay

There was a weerd

Pool and hot tub not working Toilet wouldn’t flush right Had to asked for towels Notice in parking Lot warning about area Overall terrible Place Oh and breakfast pretty much vending food

Beds are very old and uncomfortable.

Extremely friendly staff, very nice pool and spa. Convenient to shopping and restaurants. The

They changed me $100 extra

It was nice, I would stay there again

The room was clean newly refurbished. All good till one uses the pillow they old lumpy very uncomfortable. Breakfast ws very little ran out of coffee hot wayer never replaced. Same with the waffles that were poor to start with wet and limp. I expected the usual Days Inn breakfast this wasnit it. No milk fir the cereal, n̈o yogurt, just poor. I'll try another motel next visit.

Stayed lil over month ago was great. guess bre iwnershioguess

All was fine

Breakfast was very basic!

Nice and clean.

I always chose this location to stay at ,its safe ,Dennys and Starbucks are in the same parking lot and driving distence to Seaworld and other attractions. The staff is normally good...but new faces alond with increased deposits. I normally book 2 rooms and only am required to pay 100 deposit for both of the rooms since I come here often but this time 2 seperate fees and $150 each. So I was not to happy about that .

This hotel is conveniently located next to a Dennys and a Starbucks but it’s also right next to the freeway so it’s noisy and there’s a lot of foot traffic. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. My one complaint is that the mattress was on a mesh metal platform that made a lot of noise which was strange. Overall for the price this was a good value. I was traveling alone and didn’t feel completely safe so I wouldn’t stay here again unless I was traveling with someone else.

Room clean. Daily cleaning which is what I like

Not recommended to arrive around 11pm during employee shift change, they had me waiting for 20min to get their system back up.

Over priced

upstairs was loud

This is an older hotel, but has been refurbished and is kept very appealing cosmetically. The grounds were clean and litter free. It was too cold for the pool, but maybe another time because it also looked clean and well maintained. The staff were pleasant and efficient so check-in was a breeze. The water pressure in the shower was weak and it took quite a while to get warm, but it was do-able. I definitely would stay at this hotel again.

I didn’t like the fact to be outside doing the check in.
