"We were pleasantly surprised as neither of us had been to a spa resort before. The property is located on a hill overlooking Cuyamaca reservoir with fantastic views about 8.5 miles South of Julian. It has a Tibetan, 60's counterculture vibe with shrines and prayer rooms, yet at no point did we find it intrusive. The room was lovely, comfortable bed with mini fridge, microwave and a good shower with abundant hot water. We used the outdoor Jacuzzi which set us up for a restful night's stay. We would definitely stay again. They have a well regarded menu which we did not partake of, as it was our impression it was vegetarian. Perhaps next time. Our stay at the spa was the highlight of our trip as it was unexpected. We will confess that we didn't know what a wellness spa was as we are uncouth country bumpkins but will definitely be open to staying in a similar establishment in the future. Re staff we did not have any interaction with the staff save with the exceptionally attentive check in. The dining, breakfast area has great views. A definite hit."

"Rooms were clean and tidy. Staff very friendly. Multiple food establishments but not all open on same days. Casino was nice, clean and lots of options for gaming. "

"The room was clean. The room was also located within walking distance of the main area of town."

"Room was small but clean and comfortable. I didn't spend much time in it except to sleep. Breakfast and the lobby were wonderful. Staff was friendly."

"Perfect! If you are staying in the area, I would definitely recommend this hotel."

"Not horrible, but if you can afford the extra $50 to stay somewhere better. Do it. Very basic hotel. Room was clean but it felt dirty for some reason. Old hotel. No toiletries other than hand soap. One towel, which had a long hair on it. No hand towels. I went to the front desk and they gave me, in his words. Their last towel. It was clean and he gave me a hand towel. Shower was good though. Water was super hot. No complaints there. Hotel was fine for the night, but I wont be back. I only stayed here because it was cheap, i was only showering, sleeping and checking out the next day. nice photos on the website. But they dont match actual location. A couple of positives. It is located right off freeway and everything is close by. Slept fine, quiet outside."

"The only suggestion we have is that the decking be reviewed for safety. There are a couple of loose boards, one of which is a tripping hazard. We have used this property a number of times and always been pleased to stay there."

"Disappointed with the lack of aesthetics at the pool and it was filthy. Lots of floating dead bees, mosquitos, and other insects. Also, the water spigot at our site was dispensing brown water. And our site had a sewer lid where you can smell the stench"

"East County gem. This is the 3rd time that I have stayed at Ayers Lodge, and it is truly a gem in East County. The rooms are clean (and now renovated,) the amenities are wonderful! (There is a sitting area outside, along with tables and chairs, a BBQ grill, as well as a fire pit. They have a great breakfast with a large selection, as well as chocolate chip cookies every night. The property is quiet and secluded despite being right by the freeway. There is a shuttle that will take you to and from Viejas Casino if you want to go there. This hotel is also close to several bars and restaurants. Definitely my go-to lodging when I come back home to visit. "
