    The staff were all very friendly and courteous.

    The staff were all very friendly and courteous. The two main golf courses were open and great to play, but I was lucky as the Willow Glen course is still undergoing renovations. When those are completed it will be even more impressive. The greens played fast and true and were generally in great condition. The Oak Glen course is flatter and in excellent condition though also has some ongoing improvements happening. The Restaurant and Bar Staff were friendly and engaging, the Pro Golf Shop staff equally so. The food was very good with a variety of choice. In all it was a great experience to play golf there and soak up the ambience while taking in the history of the indigenous people in the area. I thoroughly recommend Singing Hill Golf Resort.

    Be careful when renting a room here.

    Be careful when renting a room here. Pictures are completely deceiving and not what they appear. I booked two queen beds and got two fulls. Sketchy area. It seems that they have people living in the hotel so it has a weird vibe. They have 24hr “security” but they only stay in the entrance of the place and seem to let anyone in. I guess you get what you pay for but never again!

    If you like to play golf close to where you are staying for more than reasonable prices that this is a fantastic resort to stay. Hospitality of the staff really high standard. Information can be better special when there is a BIG Event which has impact on the whole resort (Golfing/Parking/Noise)

    The buildings exterior need a refresh paint or redecoration.

    The buildings exterior need a refresh paint or redecoration. Interior the room is excellent. Ample and comfortable. Missing the lack of microwave. The Red Tail restaurant was very good. The proximity and free shuttle to the Sycuan Casino made it a great perk.

    I currently live in El Cajon and we are moving out of state because of California's political insanity. We stayed in this hotel only while our house was tented for termites prior to sale and only in THIS hotel because they allowed our two small dogs. Not fair to El Cajon to ask me to review the city.

    The property is beautiful and quite. The rooms and hotel are very charming and interesting. Rhonda was very accommodating as we arrived late for check in. She also knew alot about the unique property and was happy to share. Close to San Diego without all the bustle of the city. Spend the day in San Diego then go relax at the Vineyard Hacienda!

    Such a beautiful property! Completely different than the normal hotels. It was an experience to walk their grounds and explore the history within this special place. I was blown away as it was much more than I expected. The views were spectacular, loved the balcony, the setting was perfect.

    This place was exactly what I needed to recover after getting sick. It's close to the El Cajon Station and a 7 Eleven is close by too. I was skeptical as the ratings are not that good, but the room was modern, clean and convenient. It had everything I needed for my 2 nights stay.

    The bed was SO comfortable my husband and I thought we were sleeping at home! The hotel was absolutely beautiful with just the right amount of luxury. Even though its right next to a busy restaurant parking was not bad at all. Would definitely stay again!

    I liked the value of the room and the location was very close to where I needed to travel too. The price was excellent for the San Diego area. The hotel was not too far from the airport as well. Overall, I was please with the value of the space.

    I liked the location of the hotel near markets and restaurants, as well as the service and staff were excellent, and I liked the breakfast, which was more than good, as well as the 24-hour tea and coffee service

    I booked this room at Northgate last minute after a disastrous experience at another hotel the previous night, and Northgate was much better! The room here was clean and it's only a 20-minute drive to downtown.

    The staff was very nice, friendly and helpful. Bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body soap is a very nice touch, compared to the little bottles most hotels have. Cute, clean and comfortable rooms.
