“BEDBUGS! COLD WATER!”

I spent three nights at this hotel, when I was supposed to be spending 10 nights. I got over 30 bedbug bites and had to leave! In addition, they do not have hot water - when I checked in I called to ask why there was not hot water for my shower and they told me I would have to wait until the morning for hot water! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS HOTEL TO ANYONE

“Spray away your troubles”

I was given a smoking room even though I requested a non smoking room then told that there were no more rooms yet people continued to check in after me. I was offered a bottle of "spray" and told I could spray it around the room and leave the door open to air out which was not useful as there was a man sitting on the stair well outside my room smoking. It was basically take it or leave and no refund. I would not recommend this place...sleeping in your car would be better.

“Not at all what I expected.”

The door of the room was open when I arrived. There was debris in the bathroom sink. Thr room was supposed to be non-smoking, but it wasn't. The bed was king size, but the spring were pokoing throught...one of the the worst beds I've ever seen.

“I will never go back :(”

The hotel is not pleasant, the management isn't friendly or helpful. The neighborhood is ugly and the pool is dirty. Their breakfast is not fresh and not tempting. Overall a really bad experience. I will certainly not go back.

Area recommendations
The Niki de Saint Phalle gardens are amazingly beautiful.

“It was okay, but far from great”

I remembered Escondido being nicer, but apparently things aren't as nice as they used to be. The hotel is pretty run-down and needs some upgrades, especially to the exterior. The room was clean and neat, but the furnishings were a bit rickety and dated. The staff was very friendly, but the free breakfast was very limited (cereal and toast/bagels, coffee and juice). You get what you pay for here and not much else.

Traveller's tip
If you see your hotel as mainly a place to shower and sleep and not much else, this may be a good place for you. Probably not the best place for kids.

“Not worth it”

Beds were hard as a rock, room had a musty/smoky smell even though it was a "non-smoking" room. Shower head was at nose-level (and I'm only 5'8"). They only give you 2 towels and 1 washcloth. Continental breakfast was a couple of cereals, a few english muffins and some bread, coffee was like water. Do yourself a favor and spend a few more bucks for something nicer. Only plus was that it had a fridge and microwave.
