While our room itself was fine, this is a hotel I would never return to. Many people appeared to be living here long-term, and the atmosphere felt unsafe. There were individuals loitering around the property who stared at us in a way that was unsettling. The grounds reeked of cigarette smoke, marijuana, and even urine. The courtyard grass was so overgrown it nearly reached my knees—clearly a place where rodents could thrive. We did not feel safe here. Thankfully, we only needed a one-night stay, but I would never recommend this property and will not be back.

I stay here often. Rooms are clean. No bugs. Very quiet. Just bring your own shampoo and conditioner. Also, no mini frig. Very pet friendly.

In waiting several weeks for my apt to be ready, I needed to be cost effective. My ♿️room was small for a wheal chair. But had the roll in shower, roomy bathroom required, a fridge and microwave. Eating from amazon fresh and Walmart deliveries, i enjoyed my stay. Wifi was choppy. Tv small. I could not access pool as there was no chair lift, but the kids looked like they were having so much fun!
24 hour front desk, & house phone. (always ready to assist.)

Clean, no bugs, comfy bed, but no mini fridge. Pool was in use and seemed clean. 24/7 security guard on duty. Good price, would stay again and would recommend.

This place is infested with bedbugs!! It’s very disgusting and dirty and we did not even stay in the room for more than a hour before the bugs started crawling all over the bed. This is the most horrible hotel I’ve ever experienced. There’s drug attics and scary weird people standing by the rooms all over the motel hanging out in the parking lot. This place needs to be close and be condemn it’s that gross 🤮🤮🤮🤮 El Cajon city is disgusting place and so is motel six. If you stay here be prepared to take home bedbugs!!!

I stayed at this motel a few times when I was homeless living in San Diego before getting my first apartment months later. Out of everywhere in the county as far as I’m aware, it was the only motel where cops have guarded the parking lot making a one-way entry asking if you have your key card or permission to park there overnight slip from the front desk or if you were just checking in the fact that they block off the parking lot to where there’s only one way in and one way out with cops, guarding it at night the last time I was there, I was hearing a couple being abusive with each other arguing and banging the walls with the TV blaring really loud it was a little overwhelming, and the El Cajon did feel like a Third World country, which is why I never went back after the second time

Avoid this place at all costs. The first room had bugs everywhere, including bed bugs. I reported it, and they moved me to another room but the moment I opened the door, I saw a cockroach inside. Absolutely disgusting. Do not stay here.

I have stayed at this Motel 6 before years ago. They have kept the rooms up to date, slightly stark &simple. No fridge,no microwave but has security in the entrance parking lot. The room was very clean, the grounds were clean as well. Front desk staff was efficient. I would stay here again.👍

The air conditioning is set to a certain temperature and you can't change it, and at night it spends a long period of time turned off by the automatic air system

this is the absolute dump of dumps and deserve zero stars.
No refrigerator and both ice machines out of order. Had to go purchase ice and when I asked the manager to reimburse me $4.79 he simply said no.
Grass in the common area with a picnic table has not been mowed in months and is over a foot-long. It’s where the dogs go to relieve themselves and you can’t walk in the grass area because you can’t see what you’re gonna step on.‼️ Disgusting‼️
Motel six in El Cajon is so cheap There’s not even shampoo in the rooms.
Even The sink is disgusting to look at‼️
Just a terrible, terrible place, stay away as there’s way too many other choices Out there.

HORRIBLE customer service whatever you do, do not come here! As soon as we walked in the room and uncovered the blankets there was a bed bug in the mattress, the mattress was disgusting as well! To make matters worse there was a roach in the bathroom. We stayed here for maybe 2 minutes and immediately checked out. We were told to come back the next day to speak to the manager, Mark, in which he wasn’t there Sunday or Monday. Mark declined our refund despite the uncleanliness of the room. I finally got a hold of him 5 days later. As you can imagine I am very upset of the unprofessionalism we received. To make matters worse he hung up on me once I said I would leave a bad review! We even had to sleep in our car over night as we were out of town. Being a manager means to take leadership and accountability in which he has neither of those! Unless you want to sleep in a room with bed bugs and roaches, do not ever sleep here!!! Worst customer service!
