Top Santee Lakes Hotel Reviews

WoodSpring Suites Santee - San Diego Northeast

8/10 Good

"The staff at this hotel were welcoming and helpful. Room was clean, bed comfortable. I booked this hotel so that I could cook some of my own meals during my stay. Unfortunately, there were no pots, pans, utensils."

Carlton Oaks Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really nice ambiance being next to the golf course. We were there during the intense rain and wind from Hurricane Rachel. It just poured and poured and yet we were snug and dry. The long eaves over the corridor outside not only look good but did their job to keep us from the weather. It's an older place, but they have refurbished a lot in the rooms. However, our room had no microwave. It shows its its age in style only. Everything is kept up and is very clean. Unfortunately, the walls are paper thin. We could hear our neighbors but maybe that was only because they were loud and had been standing right next to the wall? Also, no complimentary breakfast."

San Diego Lux: 5Bedroom/Remodeled/Solar Heated Pool/Spa/GameRoom/Grill/Workspace

The hosts were extremely responsive, accommodating, and attentive throughout our stay. The spacious and comfortable home was perfect for relaxing and creating lasting memories. Everything exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again!"

Entire Private House with 3 Bedrooms, 2.5 Bath, Garage, Gated Yard, King Bed

8/10 Good

"The house was nice and clean, but the surrounding area was not what we expected based on the pictures. The check-in process could have also been better organized. We were asked to submit copies of our IDs at the last minute, while we were already on our way to the property. Receiving that request the day before would have made the process much less stressful. Other than that our stay was pleasant."
