Econo Lodge Santee

Friendly staff. Quick check in. Lots of choices nearby to eat. Not serving breakfast but the Huddle House down the street is excellent for breakfast. Just as good as Waffle House and a better bargain.

Accessibility was very good.

Small but ok

The room was clean and quiet. I was disappointed to find out the morning after that the breakfast bar was closed, probably due to Corona. There was no signs when I checked in. Other than that I was satisfied.

The walls between the rooms are not very thick and could hear people yakking at 3 o'clock in the morning.

This was an inexpensive motel so we were not expecting a beautiful place, just a clean safe place to stay a night. The room was old - the floor sticky tacky, the chair for the desk sticky, The bathroom really looked like the whole thing should be remodeled - Water stains (or maybe mold stains) on the ceiling, tub was really old and showed stains just looking dirty, dirt around the caulking and floor corners. The baseboards in the bedroom needed cleaning and paint. On top of all this, the walls must be paper thin - you could hear every conversation in the next room I think the wall behind the sink area) and the man nextdoor snoring. I would not recommend this place to anyone. The only decent things about the room were the flat TV with HBO and the bed was soft and fairly comfortable.

This motel is in serious need of renovation and repair. There was mold in the shower. Bathroom tiles were cracked and worn, and the shower curtain had an unpleasant stain. Blankets on the bed may have been clean but were stained (one definitely had a cigarette burn stain). Cleaning during Covid-19 was below par. Floors were sticky. Room billed as a non-smoking room but had a definite smell of smoke. Hoped for a one night stay of basic comfort....but it really is quite a shoddy little motel.

Pretty quite, but not to much to offer. Just a place to rest your head.

My company set me up here through crew fax. It took the guy a half hour to check me in. The room is very basic. The tv remote worked great without any issues as well as the heating/cooling unit. Found a couple little harmless bugs in the room and on the bed. The bathroom could use a revamp but everything is satisfactory.

My wife booked this hotel to stay one night on her way back from Florida. She booked it using my points and account. When she arrived to check in the clerk gave her a hard time about her ID not having my name on it. She wouldn’t allow her to check in and quickly became rude. When my wife asked for a refund she was denied. We spent at least 30 minutes, maybe longer, speaking with somebody from corporate, though that proved to be a waste of time since corporate apparently has no power to issue refunds or to compel one of their hotels to do so. As a result my wife is being forced to drive several more hours tired and pay for a hotel room that the hotel would not allow her to check into simply because her name was not mine. I would definitely NOT recommend staying here under any circumstances.
