For starters, the room was disgusting when I checked in. The tv didn’t work, the phone didn’t work to call for help with the tv and everything was filthy. That was fine, I finally had three days to just rest and re cooperate. But one the second morning, I was visited by three different members of staff all before 11am. The “do not disturb” sign had been taken the day before. The first was a cleaning lady who I declined because all I’m doing is laying in bed. The second was a gentleman rudely telling me that I needed to check out by 11. I had already paid for that night and had everything set up with the front desk prior to this gentleman coming in. Then the third person was another cleaning lady. I told her I didn’t need it, she basically accused me of being homeless and said something about not wanting this hotel to be like motel 6. She then looked inside the room, said everything was fine and left. I’ll never stay here again.

Everything was great except: 1) The freezer section of the refigerator as heavily iced over, could not but ice packs into the compartment, needs to be defrosted 2) The toilet cannot handle a big #2 dump. It easily clogged, and there is no plunger in the room. Need higher performing toilets. 3) There was lumps of red jelly (or something) on top of one of the bed end tables. 4) No electrical plug at the desk area, had to plug in laptop charger behind the dresser. 5) Breakfast is advertised as including "fruit", but there were no bananas, apples, etc. Only whole oranges.

The room was not very clean at all. The floors were filthy, the bath mat should have been thrown away three years ago(mold growing on it). If you are looking for a cheap place to stay and not very clean, this is it.

Check-in was actually at the Super8 Motel down the street. Room door has no seal at the bottom.

I need a simple, basic room with accessibility at a very affordable price and I got what I asked for. It made my vacation affordable, when I didn’t have a lot of options. The hotel tied into the Super 8 Motel next door, so I would consider that option as well next time I want to stay in El Cajon.

There is no place to check in at the motel nor get ice because the office is permanently closed. A nearby motel handled all check in. Motel advertised a continental breakfast. Nope. None. No coffee either. The TV didn't work. Blanket had holes in it. A chair had a large tear. Bathtub was chipped. While the room was mostly clean the experience was disappointing.

Room was nice and clean (except for the cigarette smell, but hey I said I had no preference when asked, so I can't complain). Clerk at the front desk was friendly, helpful and check-in was quick and easy. Room had a small fridge and microwave (last two rooms I stayed elsewhere did not have a microwave so that was nice to have). Smaller motel with two stories and maybe 20-25 rooms total, so it's quiet and property was well kept. Close to the 8 freeway and El Cajon City Hall and the price through Expedia was an excellent value! Not the Ritz but you won't be disappointed if you're looking for a clean, quiet place to sgay at a reasonable rate.

I’ve stayed at this hotel before, and a downstairs unit. It was a wonderful experience! Even though the one and only window was right outside the walkway and parking, it was very quiet. This time I was upstairs. It was still nice and quiet, but I noticed on the ceiling, there was a very dark, moldy looking Patch. It was about 10” x 4” and appeared to be black mold. UGH !!! There were no signs of water damage to the ceiling so they have known about it and tried to do a quick patch job without tackling the issue of mold. Unfortunately, this is my last overnight at this motel.

I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable and clean my stay at Northgate Motel. This is an old number two-story motel with no frills that has been updated with flooring, paint and a comfy bed. The walls are still thin and parking was in front of the door/only window, so there was some noise, but certainly not inappropriate noise. The guests were respectful of others and kept talking to a minimum. I would certainly stay at this hotel again.
