This Best Western is right off I-8 freeway. The room amenities were dated, but the room was very clean and the bed comfortable. I put the wall AC unit fan on and could not hear the traffic - slept well. The rooms open to the outside - not my favorite when traveling alone. The area around the hotel of just... More

Admittedly, my husband and I went to this place because we found a bargain on the internet. We should have kept right on going and not stopped. There was a used hypodermic needle in the parking lot, as well as a lady sitting on the grass who had consumed a large bottle of alcohol. The latch was broken on the... More

I frequent this Best Western often, for a number of reasons -- the helpfulness of the staff, the pleasantness of the personnel, the cleanliness of the room, the comfort of the beds, a very nice pool and jacuzzi area (possibly the nicest, definitely the warmest, jacuzzi I have had the pleasure of enjoying, and so much more. The prices are... More

Felt unsafe with my family. Scottish woman at front desk was mean. Unsavory characters in the parking lot and loitering about. Rooms were okay, but smelled funny. Parking was not close to room and I was wooried about my car getting broken into.

Due to some personal engagements in the greater San Diego area, we have been staying here repeatedly in the last several months. It is our preferred place to stay because of the location (ease of access to the greater San Diego & El Cajon area), the pricing, and the staff friendliness. The rooms are straightforward & clean, with the standard... More

But I will list out a few things that I find important: The carpet with clean. Walked around a bit without shoes or socks. No stickiness or yucky feeling on my feet. Although I still preferred to wear booties. The bathroom was clean. No mold or mildew. No slow draining tub. Good water pressure and heat. No dish to hold... More

BW Continental INN has become my hotel of choice in the San Diego area. Great prices and good location. It is an older Best Western - but clean and comfortable. Great location - only 20 minutes to the beach and 20 minutes to Syscuan Casino (my favorite) Very friendly and helpful staff.

I went to visit my son, who lives in El Cajon, for a couple of days over the weekend. I usually stay at La Quinta but the closest one was 15 miles away. Booking over the Internet was very easy. The person at the front desk during check-in was pleasant. Very sketchy people standing around outside during the 11 pm... More

Noisy freeway 50' away. With the old leaky windows, it is a good thing that we could run the A/C fan all night to help drown out the noise. Housekeeping had stuffed the coffee maker electrical cord into the water reservoir - not a sanitary way to handle food preparation equipment. When I asked the hotel clerk if housekeeping sanitizes...
