    Stay with Choice Hotels in El Cajon

    El Cajon Hotels

    With easy access to the mountains, the beach and many local attractions, El Cajon is a convenient place to stay when visiting the San Diego area. Explore all the area has to offer by staying at one of the Choice Hotels in El Cajon. Whether you’re traveling for business or leisure, our locations provide warm hospitality and great value.

    The words “El Cajon,” are Spanish for “the big box.” The city was given this name by Spanish settlers in reference to the “boxed in” nature of the valley in which it sits. Incorporated in 1912, El Cajon is a vibrant and diverse city with a rich history. Visit the Knox House Museum to see the area’s first commercial building, the Knox residence and hotel. You’ll be able to see the original portion of the hotel, which was built in 1876! This was a time when activity in the town was booming due to miners, drovers and teamsters traveling through the area. Call the El Cajon historical society to find out about museum hours and tours. 
     
    When staying at an El Cajon hotel, you’re also just a short drive from many attractions and destinations. Cleveland National Forest encompasses 460,000 acres that serve as a habitat for native wildlife and a natural refuge and park for visitors. There are trails along the mountains and throughout the forest that provide opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and more. If you want to spend a day on the beach, El Cajon is also just a short drive away from San Diego area beaches. 
     
    And if you plan to visit SeaWorld San Diego, the Gaslamp District or the San Diego Zoo, an El Cajon hotel is a convenient option. Enjoy the history and scenic beauty of San Diego’s East County when staying at one of the Choice Hotels in El Cajon. Book your stay today!
