Hotels near San Diego Afghan Connections and Cultural Center, El Cajon

Overall good, warm service, clean and tidy, convenient parking. There is a gas station and a convenience store next to it. There is a steak and seafood. The hotel is free for breakfast, especially the bathroom.

Absolutely NO!!!! I stayed here trusting the best western brand. From immediately after we checked in until our early departure nothing but red flags. We attempted to stay here thinking we didn’t need a whole lot of frills this trip because we had a busy schedule. There were ants to the point of having to brush them off my water bottle as we were bringing our stuff in . After we got settled I went to move my bag and two large roaches fell off it. Called the front desk who offered to put me on the second floor because “ground floor is easier to access for roaches” *** at this point it’s 1am amd kids are tired I requested to be able to cancel the rest of our stay without penalty. I was told the GM approved that but would not issue any rewards points for the inconvenience. Disappointed but whatever. After that my card was still charged and no one could tell mem anything kind of played hot potatoe with me until I called corporate. GM never called or conveyed any apology for charging my card or is having to move but he did supposedly respond to my customer care ticket. Bottom line Don’t stay

Although the location of the hotel is far from the city, it is very convenient to drive. There is a gas station next to it. The price of oil is not expensive. The accommodation environment is generally the same. The big bed room we booked is not a non-smoking room. The smoke inside is very big. It feels like a smoke when you sleep for a night...

Staff goes all the way and the extra mile. Beautiful and well kept property in the university area, lots of restaurants nearby. Daily housekeeping ! Dropped something in the room w/o noticing, maid put it on the nightstand. Way to go ! Rooms are on the simple side and maybe a bit outdated, but clean and comfortable. Variety at breakfast could be a lot better. I mean, no peanutbutter ? Really ? But otherwise impeccable.

I have lived in San Diego for over 25 years and finally stayed at the Sycuan Hotel that is on the grounds of the ******. I was given a complimentary stay of two nights in a deluxe king room and decided to go and get out of town for a couple days. At arrival into the room my first impression was that it was nice enough with warmish tones. The room was clean and standard for the price. Soon after, I noticed my room window opened up only about three feet and rest of the wall was concrete. They try to upsell you to a balcony room, but I guess that means a full-size window too. I had asked for a quiet room, and although I was given a room near the stairwell, I was also given a room on the valet and street side. I could hear the buses coming and going throughout the late night even at six stories up. The bed was okay, a little on the firm side, but their pillows are not supportive . They are those down-alternative pillows and when you put your head on them your head just sinks right to the bed. So my neck was really sore after the first night. If you're a side-sleeper you know what I mean. They should invest in some better, more supportive pillows. I also got cold in the night since the blanket is pretty flimsy. Another con was that they don't have a coffee maker in the room. I mean, come on, even the Motel 6 has a coffee maker. They give you two cheap plastic cups though to keep you in check (just like the Motel 6) and four tiny water bottles. I guess they want you to go downstairs and fork over six bucks for a morning coffee each day. They also have a reminder of how much each item in the hotel costs, should you decide to steal it. I was reminded that I was in El Cajon with that. Let's talk about emergencies...There is an emergency alarm and smoke detector up high toward the ceiling. The upper apparatus pulses a bright light continuously every 20 seconds or so . I swear the thing would shine through my closed eyelids if I was turned to face that wall while trying to fall asleep with the uncomfortable pillows. And speaking of emergencies, the hotel tripped some emergency alert drill at 7:45 AM the first morning I was there. It squelched loudly in each room several times and blurted ”There is an emergency in the hotel! Exit the hotel and do not take the elevators!” Maybe not word for word but it was something like that. Either way it was not pleasant and the lady across from me said it woke her up from the deepest sleep she'd had in months. Turns out it was just a test or something. False alarm or hotel routine testing, management needs to inquire into that episode. You actually had lots of guest making their way down the stairwells in the entire hotel to go outside in the cold first thing in the morning. So that's my review. I don't think I'll ever go back to that hotel, or that ******. The ****** has weak payouts on all of their video poker games (could not find a single 9-6 payout on Jacks or Better), the pit bosses don't give you comps for fo

My husband and I decided to stay in the Cula Vista area, due to cost effectiveness and close proximity to San Diego. We were there to attend a family member's college graduation in San Diego. First off this hotel may seem a bit out of the way, but the drive to and from San Diego was not bad at all. This hotel offered us great service, upon check in and throughout our three night stay. Our King room was very clean and spacious enough for our basic needs. I only ate the breakfast once and I found it to be good. The hotel is also very close to eateries and shopping strips. I only gave it four stars because whenever we were in our room we could hear a very heavy footed person walking around above us (even in the middle of the night). Overall I recommend this hotel.

Just an average hotel. It's clean, but tired. Beds are fine, bathrooms are fine, and pool is fine. You'll sleep fine here, but I probably wouldn't return to it and would rather try a Holiday Inn Express or Best Western instead. Pool - It looked ok, but pretty cold (checked in Feb). The hot tub is more of a warm tub. If I had small kids, I bet they'd take a quick dip in the 77-78 degree larger pool and then hang out in the hot tub. Breakfast - Seems like the standard fare of eggs from a mix, muffins, bagels, and the oh so favorite of absolutely no one, red delicious apples. Why are those at every single hotel free breakfast. Would have loved to have seen something special or different at this hotel. We ended up going out to somewhere else for breakfast. Rooms - Clean, but kind of out dated. Bathroom had a bit of mold in the calking, but overall it was fine. Internet - I'm typing this review on the provided free internet. I'm getting 3Mbit down and 4Mbit up so not exactly the fastest, but it will let you type up TripAdvisor reviews. Google Maps struggles to draw directions and FaceTime doesn't work that well. Might be a variety of reasons so your milage may vary. Parking - By far my biggest complaint. There is tons of parking everywhere. I don't know how anyone would get here unless they had a car. They charge $5 per night to park at the hotel. There is no value add here except what feels like a money grab. I suppose you could park at a nearby business park, but parking at the hotel is probably your best bet. Why not just wrap the charge into the room rate? They don't provide any sort of added security and there's no shortage of spots available.

We stayed here for several nights and it was one of the best hotel stays we have had. The primary reason is it was QUIET! I never heard anyone in the rooms next door. I actually slept well. The new HIE you can hear the conversatinos being had in the other rooms. Nice, big bright bathroom and shower (not like the closets they have in the new HIE they are building) and FREE parking! Unheard of in Cali. The 4 stars is because breakfast was weak. Wish they had more fresh fruit, more variety and getting out of the driveway heafing to the highway is insane. You take your chances everytime you exit. Wish the hotel could petition the city for a light there so we could exit safey. Lots of resturants in the area, great Chinese right next door, Walmart and Target very close. We would stay here again 100%. Friendly front desk employees. Very responsive.

Very clean hotel, I also like the design of the building

Hotel location is excellent, parking is free, quiet and safe, the room is spacious and bright, the shower room is large, the washing environment is super satisfied, I will look for this hotel in the future, I hope to keep it, it is indeed a recommended hotel in San Diego South - Chula Vista
