Top Santee Boulders Hotel Reviews

Northgate Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the comfortable Beds room was really big and nice"

WoodSpring Suites Santee - San Diego Northeast

8/10 Good

"Stayed here for a few nights and it was clean, the beds were comfy, and having the kitchenette was great. The staff were kind and helpful. However, they charge extra for linens, and that seems like it should be included in the room cost. I never experienced this at another hotel. And you have to take your used towels to the front desk to get clean ones and exchange them. That was a bit of a hassle. Overall I recommend this hotel just be aware of the extra fees."

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."

Om Park Inn and Suites El Cajon near San Diego

8/10 Good

"The room was basic, clean, the king bed is comfortable, and large TV. Better than others with the same price point, I would stay again."

Kitchen was complete with all the utensils needed to make a meal and pack a lunch to bring to the beach. Master bedroom shower was lovely!"
