Top Old Mission Dam Hotel Reviews

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."

Motel 6 La Mesa, CA - San Diego

8/10 Good

"Staff was so friendly and helpful. Rooms were ok, mattress was VERY firm and blanket/sheets/towels were rough... Paid a lot for just ok value… But stay was fine. AC worked well. Smelled a little funny. Parking was easy."

Motel 6 El Cajon, CA - San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Would book again!"

Hummingbird Haven - Private Suite with Pool - Centrally Located

10/10 Excellent

"Check-in with Randy was super smooth, was a nice and central stay for a weekend in San Diego"

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

Everything exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again!"
