"It was better than I expected it to be the breakfast was amazing from different variety to choose from the room was clean of your looking for an affordable stay this is it."

Hampton Inn & Suites El Cajon San Diego

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were smaller than anticipated but they were clean and comfortable. Bath products were pleasantly scented. The mattress was excellent. Breakfast was fantastic with make your own waffles, scrambled eggs, smoked sausage, oatmeal, bagels, and fresh fruit. Dining room and serving areas were kept neat and tidy. Staff was friendly and did the best job to ensure that the guests’ stay was an exemplary experience. Parking lot is shared with the In N Out restaurant so park in back of the hotel. Access to the freeway was close and easy. I would highly recommend this location as it is close to The Magnolia which was our destination to see a concert."
