Everything was PERFECT! And I mean PERFECT! The room was immaculate, the staff was super friendly, we didn't use the laundry, but I'm sure it would've been PERFECT as well, parking was fabulous! And the room was a true handicap room with a rollin-in shower! I would DEFINITELY stay there again! My friend told me to read the reviews and that maybe I should book another hotel so I did but, I went with my gut, and I am so VERY glad I did it!

⭐ 1-Star Review – WoodSpring Suites Santee, CA

Unfortunately, my experience at WoodSpring Suites in Santee was very disappointing. The customer service was rude and unprofessional, which made an already frustrating stay even worse.

The phones in the room also did not work, making it difficult to contact the front desk when assistance was needed. Basic communication should be available for guests, especially when there is an issue that needs to be addressed.

I expected better customer service and professionalism during my stay. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving both the staff’s treatment of guests and the condition/functionality of the rooms.

Hotel and room were clean. However, hallways and floors were hardwood not carpet. Therefore, any noise above you, around you are amplified. Had very loud guests above us. Beds were on metal legs and creaked. Staff was courteous.

This fairly new hotel was much needed in Santee and for the most part has maintained its newness cleanliness. The staff members were helpful and delightful. The room was very clean, the only issue I saw was the elevator and rugs around them were almost always in need of vacuuming or cleaning. The elevator was broken several days during my stay which was inconvenient since I was on the fourth floor but all in all for an extended stay hotel you can’t beat the value and location convenient to several highways. I will definitely stay there again.

We checked-in in the evening. There were a few interesting characters walking around outside.

We checked in and when we went up to the room I noticed hair on the pillow and in the sheets. The room also had a very strong bleach smell. I immediately went downstairs and told the front desk. The person in the front was very understanding and switched our room right away.

Our 2nd room was clean, but the noise level from the people above us was ridiculous! They were moving their furniture around for about an hour. The rest of the night they were enjoying too much! We definitely did not have a good night sleep! Luckily we were only staying there one night!

Staff are always wonderful especially Ashley. The elevator however broke down twice while there which for such a new building is odd. I think they need carpet, as the people above us were so very loud at early am(12 midnight to 3am) off and on over my 10 day stay.

Whoever constructed this building went the cheapest way to go because you can hear EVERYTHING that happens in this hotel. It is clean and brand new, but I could hear every person in the hallway, the people on either side of my room, the dog losing his mind over something in the hallway AND in their own room. EVERYTHING. There were no types of rugs or carpets anywhere to have some kind of style or asthetic, but at the very least to ABSORB NOISE. It felt very artificial and utilitarian.

It appeared to be a somewhat new hotel. The good part was that the floor in the room was vinyl and not dirty carpet. The towels were like the thin ones they offer at a Motel Six. There were no tissues, so I guess you use toilet paper to blow your nose! The room had a microwave and refrigerator but there were no kitchen utensils such as pans, plates, etc. Lots of kitchen cabinets - for what?! No breakfast and only a coffee maker in the lobby. For the cost, I will go somewhere else like the Carlton Oaks hotel.

Very clean room. This was the only room at a hotel which I understand your trying to save money, No shampoo/Conditioner, Tissue paper (Kleenex), and no laundry bag. You do have a bar of soap provided in the room. Which I also brought my own soap and shampoo just in case. No worries about that. These are my comments. Thanks

The hotel in general is so accommodating. We asked if we could check in early, provided that it is avaible, we were able to and that is a big help for us. The staff, Jessie and Luis and there's another female, I forgot to ask the name, are very welcoming! Although we are San Diegans, living about an hour away from the city, we found a place to stay whenever we need one. We'll come back whenever there's a need to stay overnight.
The laundry and fitness room are a big +.

But other then that is was very nice. The beds were very comfortable but load when you roll over. Probably because it’s on a hard floor. But again comfortable and very clean there.

I certainly won’t be back. Front desk staff is awesome. That’s the nicest thing I have to say. No housekeeping, even though the housekeeping cart was in the hallway the entire time. The bed was cheaper than a Walmart bed. Noisy and moved entirely too easy. They allow dogs, who bark all night. People hanging out in the parking lot at all hours of the night. Place is in such disrepair that when my door shut behind me, the scanner fell off the door. Incredibly expensive for a fancy motel six. Oh, and that has like 20 EV charging spaces so you have to walk half a mile to get to the front door.

I’ll be completely honest, understanding the true value of this “hotel.” If you’re visiting San Diego, don’t stay here! It’s meant for down and out people and extended stays. Which is fine, but the walls are paper thin, the beds and rooms are low budget. The landscaping is already overgrown with weeds and in 6 months it won’t look nice any longer. For an extended stay hotel it’s great, perfect location and a safe place to stay.

I booked a room with a kitchenette and a dining table. I was to spend 3 days with no car so I brought groceries. No dishes pans silverware the kitchen was empty. You could buy kits, I found out after check in. There was no table. The bed was as a metal frame, that did not sit evenly so every time I moved it thudded against the floor. Noise all night long. Was such a waste of time and money. It’s very new and it seems like it is a magnet for drug users. Wish they would make it less targeted for these activities.

The hotel is very new (recently built and completed), so everything is in pretty good shape. The location (for us) was very well located, with easy access to local stores, coffee & fast-food, and the freeways.

We stayed for 6 nights, and were located on the west-side of the building, 2nd floor. There was a bit of nightnight-time highway noise (from the freeway), but not terrible. However, the metal bed frame was pretty noisy (it \"clanked\" virtually every time you moved, rolled-over, etc.), as did the beds in the other, adjacent rooms. Moving our bed away from the wall a bit helped some, but it still clanked on the floor. The bed and pillows were (IMO) not very comfortable (too hard)... but they work. The bathroom had a damn \"motion-sensor\" light switch, which really sucked! Having that light come on, if peeing in the middle of the night, was unacceptable. 😵‍💫 Turning off the GFCI receptacle (in the bathroom) eliminated the night-time light problem...

In-room amenities are minimal. There is a decent refrigerator, a microwave, cooktop, and kitchen sink, but no dishes, cups or silverware are provided (unless you pay additionally fees for those items). I brought my own small coffee maker... 😊

Overall, not a bad place. We will probably stay there again, if necessary, but only because it is pretty clean and accessible.
