“Escondido”
Hotel was ok
“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.
“VERY good for the price!!”
Room was clean, rates very reasonable. Microwave and fridge, ironing board and iron, hair dryer, all nice to have available. had some loud people upstairs, called front desk, problem solved. Will stay again.
“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.
“Great Time!”
We had a good time staying here and expedia.com did a wonderful job at helping us find a room in a short times notice.
“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.
“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.
“Impressed”
I thought that this hotel was great. It was clean and well maintained. It is in a good location. I would stay here again.
