Prostitutes El Cajon

This review of Rodeway Inn El Cajon highlights a significant issue: prostitution and drug activity are pervasive just half a block away. While it resulted in cheap rent for the reviewer, the constant presence of hookers, pimps, and drug addicts on the corner creates an unsafe environment.

Historic Prostitution Corridor

El Cajon Blvd. has long been notorious as a prostitution hotspot, documented as far back as 1986 by news outlets like CBS 8 San Diego. Police stings, like one in 2010 arresting five women and another in recent years netting 30 men, are frequent but seem to have limited long-term impact.

Business Connections and Online Operations

The problem extends beyond the street to surrounding businesses and motels. Adult entertainment venues like Jolar Cinema and Thad’s are nearby, and establishments like the Rodeway Inn itself are reported to host prostitutes and pimps, fostering an atmosphere described as frightening and unsafe. Online classifieds and escort directories openly advertise services in El Cajon despite legality issues.

Community Impact and Entrenched Challenges

Residents and business owners in areas like Barrio Logan and along Dalbergia Street express ongoing frustration with visible, rampant prostitution disrupting neighborhoods. Efforts to combat it continue through hotel crackdowns and initiatives, but the trade persists through links to homelessness, drug addiction, and sex trafficking – with homeless camps becoming cesspools for these activities. The area’s reputation solidified since the 1960s remains a challenge for law enforcement.
