Graph of El Cajon, CA Hotel Prices for Next 20 Days

Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all El Cajon, CA discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest El Cajon hotel for each day and each star rating category.

Because it's surrounded by mountains, El Cajon has earned the nickname “The Big Box,” which also references the Spanish phrase “el cajón,” meaning “the drawer.” Its name was originally chosen as a way to describe the boxed in feeling of the valley. For a brief period during the 1870s, the town was known solely as “Cajon,” but when the community gained a post office, it was dubbed “Elcajon.” The name finally evolved to El Cajon in 1905.

Today, El Cajon is a vibrant city offering a picturesque setting and convenient locale that make it a desirable place to visit. While many travelers flock to the area to see San Diego's popular attractions, El Cajon boasts its own points of interest that make this community a true East San Diego County gem.

Whatever your reason for visiting El Cajon, it's important to do your research so you can find the best hotel that allows you to enjoy everything the city has to offer.

Best Time to Visit El Cajon, CA

The best time to visit any community in San Diego County is in the spring or fall. From March through May, you're more likely to avoid crowds of local families on vacations as they rush to San Diego's attractions. The weather is also quite nice, with highs hovering in the 60s. You'll even enjoy some great hotel rates during the spring, which is ideal for travelers on a budget.

Fall is a little warmer but still offers the same benefits of spring. School is back in session so you won't be competing with locals at the San Diego Zoo or other site, plus you'll enjoy high temps in the 70s, which is ideal for hiking.

Winter brings the best hotel rates, but keep in mind that while San Diego County doesn't experience snow or blustery weather, it is the region's rainy season. When visiting El Cajon from late November through February, be sure to pack some rain gear.

Summer is unsurprisingly El Cajon's peak tourist season. Travelers from all over the world come to San Diego for the surfing, swimming, attractions, and culinary delights, and you can expect hotel rates even in El Cajon to spike. To save a few bucks off your hotel rate during the summer, be sure to book as early as late winter or early spring to take advantage of seasonal discounts.

"Fine Dining Not Immediately Visible, Attractions within Close Proximity to One Another"
Score 4.0 / 5

There was a large mall nearby, with a movie theater in it and a number of nice stores. A lot of fast food places all over the place, and even a couple of Starbucks, but not much for finer food. The drive to tourist areas in San Diego was actually rather short and convenient.
