    Don't stay here!! This is clearly not a place for a regular family vacation! We stayed here for a long weekend to go to SeaWorld and Sesame Place. On our third night here we asked for 2 additional towels. They told us that it would be an additional $20 charge. The funny thing is the night before they gave us towels no problem and no mention of charge. I called and the front desk employee "Kris" was rude and dismissive. He didn't care and said it would be $20. I've never encountered a hotel charging for additional towels. The room also smelled so bad of cigarette smoke we had to go out and purchase a candle. The room is ok but a little run down and the outside is dirty. I had to spend an hour on the phone with Expedia and they did their best and have great support, but when Expedia contacted Kris he maintained the towel fee and told them to call tomorrow for the manager. Very disappointing stay. Apparently they want a different clientele than families and would prefer the seedy looking men that loiter around. When we arrived back one night a man was standing outside our room with no shoes and smoking a cigarette. Beware of fake positive reviews!

    Blood, Hair and cigarette burn holes in a non smoking room.

    This was the most disgusting hotel we have ever stayed in. There was hair in both beds, wet water rings on the nights stands from previous guests and blood in the shower. Pictures attached. Also when we asked to change rooms we were told there were none available but the morning crew told me there were. Also I went and got clean beds to changed our stained bed sheets that also had cigarette burns on them in a non smoking room. This was the Super 8 at 445 hotel circle in San Diego, CA. There was also a "lady" changing her scantily clad outfit in her trunk outside. The two girls, that I showed the pictures to, at the front in the morning were not helpful with the situation. I can put up with many things but the blood in the shower hit my limit. We stayed in room 227 on May 20 and left May 21. I just want people to know. What in the world is going on here?image0.jpegimage1.jpegimage2.jpegimage3.jpegimage4.jpeg Sent from my iPhone

    Live roaches crawling around.

    The worse place I have stayed at. Looks like a run down mess. The room said it was smoke-free, but there was smoke smell in the curtains. Walls were dirty and there were roaches inside the light fixtures crawling around. The breakfast was eggo waffles and danish, the worst coffee I ever had.

    If you like the 1970's you are stoked!

    I was staying with a friend at the Super 8 in El Cajon. My friend is mentally ill and she had a lot of luggage with her, so I knew it was gonna take her some time to vacate the room. I went to the front desk and told them that it was gonna take a few minutes past our late checkout time of 1130am. I have actually stayed at that hotel and the Northgate motel right next to it several times and I know one of the owners lives in property at the Super 8. So I went and let her know about the situation and instead of understanding she matched into the room and started taking her luggage out of the room and then she took one of her bags and threw it at my friend. My friend called the El Cajon Police Dept. And she was told she could make a citizens arrest. This is how they handle someone who is mentally ill?? I was considered a resident at the Northgate and was told by the front desk and the husband of the female owner that if I got her off the property they would not ban me from staying there. I told them that ECPD was there and could not do that right then, so I was banned for having a mentally ill person in the room? I'm contacting Wyndham after this to see what they think.Chatlotte the female owner will also knock on your door in the morning and before you can say or do anything she will open the door and she has been reprimanded several times by resident guests and does not care. I e personally seen her do it and when the guests complained she said if you don't like it then they could leave.

    First of all the staff here is rude rude rude. I made a reservation online where it did not state if the room I had booked was smoking or non-smoking so when we arrived we we're given a smoking room which was not ok. Kindly two young guys who were in the waiting room actually told the guy it's ok trade our room for theirs if it had not been for them we would've been stuck in smelly room. Second of all since when is a direct website considered third party? I told the guy I reserved on the super 8 motel website directly according to him that's third party like hotels.com or expedia.com which was hilarious to me. On top of that he didn't care to actually try to accommodate our need of not being in a non smoking room he was being very rude. The room was huge I can't deny that and was clean. They have a mini fridge, microwave and safe in the room we had as well as an ironing board. What I didn't like was the fact that the next morning I woke up itchy all over. Not sure if it was the over excessive amount of bleach they use on their sheets or if they had bed bugs. We didn't go to the breakfast in the morning so I couldn't tell you if that was good. According to the nice man who trade rooms with us their breakfast is good. Also check out time is at 11am at exactly 10:20 housekeeping was knocking on our door and trying to open it. When we came out of the room they still had the nerve to ask what room we had come out of. This was housekeeping asking this. I would definitely not recommend this place at all. It's economical but like they say you get what you pay for. Rude employees and possible bed bugs.

    Glad the sun came up... long night at the Super 8 because of NOISE.

    This Super 8 was clean and functional in the room with spare cold furnishings and lighting. They get an A for outfitting a room well (room 110 bottom floor) for someone with a wheel chair. BUT stomping patrons on floor above and an un-muffled "muscle car" revving it up out front at 3:30 am ruined it for me. Got earplugs? Doubt that would have helped. No one's watching out for a trashed breakfast area or watery coffee, cramped seating. There is a Denny's like coffee shop next door that seemed pretty popular. Stayed January 2017, traveled solo.

    Nice room refrigerator microwave inside BUT ......shower was broken and was looking for wife's ring inside of room before check out and found a 12 inch knife under bed yes !!!!!! kitchen knife ! wife got extremely freaked out and wanted to leave immediately...... so check underneath your bed when you show up if you decide to stay here pool is very dirty also had a bunch of trash and Sand inside of it and the guy at the counter was not too friendly when we showed up was mad cuz he was smoking a cigarette and he had to stop smoking to help me check in which I thought was kind of rude and got a weird vibe from the get-go.

    Very impressed for a super 8 motel!!! This property has remodeled their rooms and has really stepped it up.The rooms are super clean and very spacey equipped with all the extras ( coffee maker, ironing board,safe,extra beige flat screen tv,granite counter tops,fridge,microwave,cold blowing air conditioner,matrix shampoo,San Fransisco soap company,granite walls in the shower, clean new carpet, and no weird smells :) All the bedding was clean and fresh smelling. We are Marriot folks but this was the last resort as we did not ahead. I have to honestly say I was impressed. Front desk guy was awesome as well and very polite.If you find yourself needing a place in San Diego I highly recommend them :)

    YUP! thats a roach in there with our toothbrush

The place did not feel very lively when I arrived, and I noticed there were less than four teenagers around the entire time I was there, which made the atmosphere feel a bit empty. I was not expecting anything fancy, but I did expect the basics to feel a little more comfortable and updated. The room had a few issues that stood out to me. Some parts of it looked older and could really use a refresh, and a couple of things did not work as smoothly as they should have. It was not awful, but it did make the stay feel less relaxing than I wanted. The noise level also made it a little harder to settle in, since I could hear people outside and in nearby rooms during the night. It was not overwhelming, just noticeable enough to be distracting. The service felt a bit rushed, which surprised me. I do not need a lot of attention, but I do appreciate when staff seem engaged or welcoming. Instead, everything felt a little distant, like they were just trying to get through the day. It did not ruin the experience, but it did not help it either. Even though the stay was manageable overall, the inconveniences added up enough that I could not fully enjoy my time there. That is why I am giving it 2 stars. I do not think the place is hopeless or beyond fixing. In fact, I really want this location to improve on itself. With some updates, better maintenance, and a bit more attention to the guest experience, it could become a much more comfortable and enjoyable place to stay. I hope they take steps in that direction because the potential is definitely there.

Came down on a Wednesday and stayed in a Marriott until this last day (Saturday to Sunday) because of pricing (BW was half of what Marriott wanted). Needless to say; we made a poor choice. I had read some reviews thinking, "Okay, it's a mixed bag, some people thought it was nice, others not so much..." and decided for the price and convenience, we would give it a shot. The photos online make it look super clean and renovated but that's definitely not the case. Don't be fooled by the photos like I was! It's not even in the same category of hotel as an older Hampton Inn or Courtyard. This is more of a "motel" than a "hotel". Check-in was decent; the lady at the front desk was polite and helpful in explaining everything. When we parked is when it started to go sideways. First thing; there's an armed security guard standing on the corner of the building. That was the first sign that this hotel was definitely not anyone's first choice as a place to stay. The room smelled like smoke and instantly showed wear from previous guests and a poor remodel. Some highlights include: Missing paint chips on what otherwise looked to be a fresh(er) coat of paint. Considering these were at the same height at the counter, I assume it was from the installers bringing in the fixture at time of update. The TV was "wall-mounted" but barely. I was going to use my Amazon Fire Stick that we travel with but the TV was so wobbly that I didn't want to risk it. There are two bedside fixtures; one is missing the "chandelier" portion and the other one has it, but doesn't work. There are random "gummy" spots on things - the floor, the furniture, etc. We ended up wiping down as much of the room as we could with a 50 count bottle of disinfecting wipes we brought along and used 80% of the bottle. The floor was terrible! I wore sandals (no socks) today and when we left our family's house, my feet were relatively clean. 15 minutes of walking around the hotel and they were black! I washed them with disinfecting wipes and put socks on until I showered and went to bed. Speaking of showers, my girlfriend showered first, and she said there were hairs in the drain / tub she had to clean up before she got in. On a positive note, the water pressure was good and the toilet flushed well, but the tub drain is slow to actually drain, so you're standing in a puddle of water while you shower. All in all, we're going to get the heck out of here first thing in the morning and I won't be returning. Lesson learned; saving a little money while traveling is always important but I'd just as soon pay a little more next time and end up in a better hotel.
