“Beautifully remodeled”

Sycuan Resort and Casino

Jan 29, 2008

The Sycuan is situated less than 10 minutes from El Cajon and about 30 minutes from San Diego, CA. It is surrounded by a lovely golf course and has pool and spa ammenities. ( I took advantage of neither). The hotel room itself was recently refurbished and was very very nice. The towels were the softest ever; the bed luxurious (but very tall) there were paintings in the bathroom; table and chairs in the bedroom for extra comfort; and our room (on the first floor) opened up to the golf course with a small patio to enjoy the view. Even flowers were planted by each patio! The staff was sparce but gracious and attentive. The casino, about 3 miles away, had a nice buffet and was pleasantly enjoyable with plenty of slots and gaming tables for all. I would go back to this resort if time allows.

“Okay for golfers”

Sycuan Resort and Casino

4 of 5 stars
St. George, Utah
Nov 26, 2007
2/2 found this review helpful

The hotel room was large but old. It had a musty smell. The linens were above average. TV, iron, coffee maker in room, wireless.The amenities were okay, It had a restaurant and offered room service. Parking was acceptable. The room had one very small shower, no tub. For the price it was above average for the San Diego area, however, unless you are going to play golf I would not choose this location again. The room I was in would not be suitable for a person with weight problems ( would not fit in the shower) or who could not climb stairs. I would however use Orbitz to book again.

“Beautiful resort, great value”

Sycuan Resort and Casino

Aug 28, 2007

We stayed for 2 nights, and this resort definitely met our expectations. We were travelling with 2 teenagers, and found the room very spacious, tastefully decorated and very clean and modern. The golf course was great, and the scenery breathtaking. It was worth the extra 20 minute drive to San Diego for the peace and quiet and the better value. We only wish we had been able to stay a little longer. We found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. If we travel to the San Diego area again, we would definitely stay at the Sycuan Resort again.

I cannot comment on the Casino, as we did not make our way there.

“Spacious room with wonderful golf & mountain views”

Sycuan Resort and Casino

Aug 10, 2007

This is an upscale,quiet golf resort. The casino is located three miles from the casino, which lends to it's quiet atmosphere. The grounds are breathtaking with an overabundance of beautiful flowers, shubs, large trees and well-manicured lawns.
We spent the night in a room with two queen beds. The room was on the top floor at the end of one of the two-story buildings. The room had a large walk-in dressing room that you passed through to get to the toilet/shower room. The dressing room had an L-shaped sink/make-up vanity, two mirrors, two electric outlets. There was also a cabinet that housed a small refrigerator and coffee-maker. This was the best part of the room as I was traveling with two other women. We had no problems showering and primping without getting into each others way!
A sliding glass door that opened to a shared balcony looked out over one of the two pools and putting greens. I spent time in the morning on the balcony reading the free newspaper as the landscapers tended to the gardening on the lawns below me. Very relaxing atmosphere.
I'm not a golfer, so I didn't experience the golfing. The place was hopping with golfers as we left the resort.
Resort visitors are given several coupons for the casino. We used the Free Valet coupon at the casino and had a discounted dinner at the casino buffett. The regular price of a buffet meal would have been $50+ for the three of us, but with the coupon it cost us $33+ (great savings)! Good food choices to top it off (Italian, Chinese, Traditional American, etc).
The casino had a cheesey "disney-land" feel to it and we felt like we were arriving at Aladdin's Palace (from the kid's movie :Alladin"). The casino grounds and buildings are still under construction, but it did not distract from the fun casino experience.
All in all, it was a great experience! I would love to bring my family here in the future.
