8/10 Good

"Comfortable bed big room quiet"

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon

8/10 Good

"Great place, super clean and tidy they were in the middle of repainting some things but was never in the way. House keeping came in and made sure our room was taken care of while we were out and that we had the towels and sheets we needed. Also loved having the option of getting breakfast in the AM options were limited but it was still nice. Pool has some pieces missing from the bottom but hot tub honestly made up for that. Very kid friendly lots of families were staying the same time as us and lots of dining and shopping options near by."
