Top El Cajon Hotel Reviews

California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The place is charming and a bit vintage, not at all antiseptic! It’s unique. Briana and Josh at the front desk were kind and helpful. The little Mexican restaurant Los Palmitos, that Briana suggested was perfect for an affordable, delicious meal in good company, watching Mexico play in the World Cup. I got a good night's sleep and was rested for my early morning voyage into Tijuana for some radical dental work. Just what I needed, thank you…"
