    Did not have time for the breakfast however, I'm the manager of a motel company in Phoenix Arizona and I was very impressed. Loved the man who checked me in and would hire him in a heartbeat! I will definitely be returning everytime I visit. I've been searching many locations in El cajon and YOU stand out. Thank you for your hospitality.

    It probably depends on who else is staying in the motel, but because there was no one loud next to me, I had a very quiet stay. The bed was super comfortable. The hot tub was nice. Pretty clean overall.

    For the price not worth the place and the motel. If you could avoid it feel very unsafe in night time.

    I honestly loved staying at econo lodge like I said before it's the most cleanest outside and inside. Rooms are fascinating amazingly clean. Beds are comfortable enough that I don't want to get up. Each room has fridge and microwave but surprisingly I stayed last night on one that has a stove, electric stove. This motel has it was to surprise me everytime.
