Top Knox House Museum Hotel Reviews

Northgate Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The ice machine is located at the super 8 which is a little inconvenient."

Hampton Inn & Suites El Cajon San Diego

8/10 Good

"Room, and the hotel public area, was very clean. Nights were quiet. We didn’t need to interact with the staff, except the lady who was taking care of the breakfast area. Food was very good, no shortage of anything. She was helpful and friendly. Kudos to all who made the breakfast area pleasant. The parking lot was challenging as it was also the line for the burger place adjacent to the hotel. Having said that, every person in that line moved/stayed in place, while we pulled into a parking spot. Parking in the back of the building was not an option for us, due to the homeless encampment adjacent."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon

8/10 Good

"I was hesitant based on some of the reviews but overall it was nice for the price. Clean room, water took a while to get hot but no big deal. Staff on check in was nice and quick. I did have a lot of trouble getting the cable tv work and had asked someone to try and fix it and was told the oncoming staff would call me back but never did. None the less, the room was fine and I would book again. Big plus is Starbucks is almost in the same parking lot :)"
