Top El Cajon Hotel Reviews

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

10/10 Excellent
"Great view of the marina. Parking was an issue as I have a large truck and the underground parking was tough to fit into, but we made do. Staff was great. Across the street is a small boat launch and it was fun to go over at night and see the large birds and the seals try to convince fisherman to offer up some bait. Pillows were small and way too giving. Shower had fantastic water pressure. Will stay here again."
