The Spotlight on Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon

Affordable Comfort Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern comfort meets budget-friendly convenience at the Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon. Located just 15 miles from downtown San Diego, this laid-back hotel offers a quiet escape after a night of live music. With free WiFi, spacious rooms equipped with microwaves and fridges, and an outdoor pool and hot tub, it’s a solid choice for concert-goers who want to stay outside the city center without sacrificing comfort.

Whether you're coming in for a weekend show or a big tour stop, this hotel’s easy access to highways makes catching your favorite artist stress-free.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel’s quiet suburban location after a loud night out. You’re just a short drive to key venues around San Diego, with free parking (even for large vehicles), so no worries about downtown traffic or pricey lots. The 15:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out give you enough flexibility to rest up before or after an event. Plus, with a hot tub on-site, it’s a great place to unwind after dancing all night.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base with plenty of space
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list tour stop
  • Couples doing a concert weekend getaway
  • Fans who want peace and quiet after the encore
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

Start your day (or recover from your night) with a grab-and-go breakfast featuring fresh waffles. While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is just minutes from local diners, casual eats, and late-night food spots around El Cajon and Parkway Plaza. Coffee-making facilities in every room keep the vibes going.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is on the quieter side, you're within driving distance of San Diego’s nightlife—from rooftop bars to live music lounges. Prefer to keep it low-key? Pick up local beers nearby and chill in the outdoor hot tub before calling it a night.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the convenience of in-room amenities like fridges and microwaves. Many appreciate the easy access to highways and free parking. The pool and hot tub are often mentioned as a nice bonus for post-show relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

Some reviewers note that the hotel’s decor could use an update, and the location is more car-friendly than walkable. If you’re expecting downtown luxury, this isn’t it—but it delivers solid value and restful sleep.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a concert in or near San Diego and want a budget-friendly, quiet place to crash with easy access to the action, Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego-East/El Cajon hits all the right notes.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Daniel, Imperial, visiting The Magnolia El Cajon Tue, 6 December 2022

When I arrived the lobby was closed. I had to wait more than 20 minutes to open. The receptionist had a rude attitude. If I had a question she ignored me and told me to wait.

Liked: Horrible.
Disliked: Yes.
