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!

Very large rooms, lots of parking, stayed in the front of the motel. Particularly love this motel for dog parents. Felicita County Park is a 5 minute drive and you can park across from the park if the gate is not open to walk your dog, Also its a ten minute walk to the back entrance of Kit Carson Park with hiking, dog trails and a sport center, lots of people riding bikes.

Was somewhat seedy. Were some sketchy folks who seemed to be living there. We were only there one night and just needed a place to sleep (came in late and left early). It was OK for this but we definitely felt a need to hurry from our car to the room and then again hurry out when we left.
