Excellent place to stay. Very large clean rooms with lots of space, fridge, microwave and copious towels. The staff is very friendly and helpful and there is plenty of parking. This stay is perfect for dogs and there is a large County park nearby which is great for kids and dogs. Lots of convenient shopping, coffee shops nearby. Escondido is a very pretty area!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was very dirty when we arrived. The floor doesn't appear to get mopped often. When I wiped up the water it turned the towel black. There are brown specs all over the walls, blinds and baseboards. There was long black hairs in the showers. There are also a lot of people who live there and sketchy drug like activity in the back. It was a place to stay in an emergency but the pictures and reviews are miss leading there are holes in the walls and unfinished construction repairs in rooms. Our door looked like it had been broken down by police as the damage to it was extensive. The beds are very uncomfortable as they are just some cushion placed on a metal frame that moves and screeches everytime someone adjusts or slightly moves. The walls are so thin you can hear people in the rooma next door coughing, snoring and talking.

It's a place to rest one's head and shower. There's nothing fancy about a motel with a small pool. It wasn't bad. It was just okay. I wasn't a fan of the sheets that felt more like polyester micro fiber than cotton.

There was a roach on the wall when we first walked in, the door was broken to the room. We had to slam it shut hard to get it to lock and it was hard to open back up. The room was full of stains and was very dirty. The bed was uncomfortable and stiff. The pillows were flat. The water smelled terrible.
