Carlton Oaks Lodge, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was amazing, except the pillows. Those were awful! Beautiful clean property. Clean rooms. Excellent staff."

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."
