Econo Lodge Inn & Suites El Cajon San Diego East

It was convenient next to the freeway. Free breakfast and coffee. There was a Mexican fast food diner in front of Econo Lodge that served excellent Mexican food with a lot of variety on their menu. The bed was clean and comfortable as well as the bathroom and shower. The fridge, microwave and stove top burners were definitely a plus. The air conditioning unit worked good.

What I didn't like was a few shady characters walking close by. When I went to get coffee at 6 :30am I noticed an individual coming from the street who followed me into the breakfast area and started helping himself to whatever they had there. I thought that was strange and kept an eye on him as I poured my coffee. I didn't see staff at all around there. The staff should be there to monitor the eating area.
