Top El Cajon Hotel Reviews

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

Hard Rock Hotel San Diego

8/10 Good
"We booked the double queen room, unfortunately the room we were provided had no running hot water in the shower. I called the front desk, and the agent was going to send someone to check it out. After about 15 minutes of waiting, I called back and inquired on the possibility of getting a different room. The agent was very helpful and agreed to send us up to the top floor. We were happy to find a double queen bed, and much nicer, spacious layout. About half of the electric sockets in the room were working, and the room itself was a little dusty. But overall, we were satisfied."
