Top Old Mission Dam Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express La Mesa Near SDSU by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great price, clean, spacious and newly remodeled rooms in an older hotel. Pool was a no go. But everything else was great"

Best Western Santee Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet and clean place"

Hampton Inn & Suites El Cajon San Diego

8/10 Good

"Terrible parking because of the In-N-Out next-door. At least in the nighttime."

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."
