What guests think

At Ayres Lodge Alpine, guests consistently praise clean, comfortable rooms, friendly service, and a convenient location near the freeway and dining, while noting dated decor and occasional maintenance or housekeeping hiccups across an otherwise well-kept property.

Amenities include a pleasant courtyard with fire pit and grills, a small pool and hot tub, complimentary EV charging, and a shuttle to nearby casinos, though the spa or pool are occasionally closed, crowded, or underwhelming. Breakfast is widely liked for variety, but seating can be tight and restocking or quality is inconsistent at times. Overall, expect a good-value roadside lodge with practical conveniences and a relaxed, rustic feel.

I like to review more things than most, we used to own an AirBnB, so I know what folks want to know about. This hotel is right off the I-8, so it is a great stop off place, so much more affordable than San Diego, yet so convenient. When we first walked into the room, we thought it was dark, but the furniture all looks new. The bedding is very nice, and the room was super clean. The bathroom and vanity area are very nice, and new looking, and so is the shower stall and shower curtain. We were on second floor, so those rooms are carpeted, the carpet was very clean. Out back, there is a lovely area with a relaxing seating area with waterfall. pond, barbeque and firepit. Tables/chairs to make dinner and sit out with the kids. There are a LOT of eateries within walking distance, with a great brewery nearby. Barons Market is within walking distance, which is fabulous, you can get everything you need to BBQ, at hotel. Great for families, breakfast was good, didn't go in pool, but peeps in there were having fun!

This hotel is a hidden gem in East County. Check in was seamless, our room was clean, beds comfortable, and even though it's close to the freeway, there was minimal noise. The breakfast was ample and was not disgusting like a lot of places, and there were many different selections. (For those with allergies or dietary restrictions, shame on you for "expecting" a place with a basic breakfast to cater to you and giving less stars.) Our kids went in the pool, which was nice and clean, and then later in the evening we sat around the fire pit and my husband grilled steak on the community grill. We ate at one of the picnic tables outside. All were clean and in good condition. This hotel is in the back of a shopping center, which has several delicious dining options, as well as other places right up the street. (I HIGHLY recommend Panda Machi which is right in front of the lodge.) We used to live right by here but never had reason to stay in the lodge. This will be our new go-to place to stay when we visit, for sure.

I was looking forward to the Jacuzzi advertized on Expedia, but it was under renovations. Expedia charged me more than 20% over the Hotel rate. I had been charged both fees, but the Lodge staff reimbirsed me the hotel fee when i told them i had been double charged. I wish i would have kept the hotel charge and asked Expedia to reimburse me the higher amount. The I make is to call the hotel before booking.

Hotel staff needs to focus on cleanliness of the room’s. Floors were dusty & dirty even after housekeeping cleaned the room. Room overall was dusty, they were lacking in cleaning. Tubs were dirty, dirt & gross red grime behind toilet even after the housekeeping cleaned, which means they are not doing a deep or thorough clean. This is very unhygienic and unsanitary.

Maria and the rest of the staff provided outstanding customer service for my large group requiring four rooms. We received extra blankets, extra sheets in the middle of the night when one of our kids had a spill, grill utensils for cooking our hot dogs, extra towels, and even a propane tank swap out - all immediately and with a smile, upon request. The full, free breakfast is a great value and they do a great job keeping the eggs, bacon or sausage, biscuits and gravy, bread, fresh coffee, and everything else stocked up throughout the 3 hours that breakfast is available. All of our rooms were clean, had excellent AC, good shower pressure, a microwave, and a mini fridge which was highly convenient. Thank you for the awesome stay 🙏❤️
