Escondido Lodge

Nice swimming pool, close to San Diego Safari Park.

Under construction, looks NOTHING like the posted photos, transients lingering outside their rooms.

Not what I expected, there was construction happening in the area. The sheets has cigarette burns and slashes and they were doing construction.

It was near where I needed to be and convenient as far as location goes.

either the TV didn’t work or the remote control didn’t work or both... the air conditioning unit looked like it was from the 1950s... the door was busted - the deadbolt was useless, just dangling there.

It was fairly convenient to where I was going and at a lower price than most.

Very noisy. I'm not certain if that was because of the pandemic and people keeping their windows open to avoid air conditioners or what but a lot of loud talking until very late.

The pics online looked good however!!@

Rude front desk...the hotel is in a very desolate area...I didn't feel safe!! No stores or restaurants near by! Run!!

It's better than what we expected for the price. The rooms were nice and it's obvious that they just re painted and re did everything. Free breakfast is a plus. Staff was very friendly.

It's very loud with the hotel rooms being on the outside and no one monitoring noise levels. Also, we were given a room with a broken door meaning we had to go to the lobby every time we needed to get into our room.

You CAN make a silk purse out of a sows ear, but if you look real close you'll still find a curly tail. They've tried to spruce up this aging property with new paint & furniture & bedding but it still needs some work.

Gaps around door & AC unit let bugs in..flying and crawling.

the rooms were clean and comfortable

the breakfast was small

The price location is great near the zafari

The parking. Not enough but you can still park inside

Leaving.

The bathroom was very small. The tub linoleum was pealing. The room smelled. Parking was very bad. The breakfast was vary limited mostly packaged danish. We left a day early because my son was sick of being in the room.

A diner was walking distance.

Rooms were much smaller than expected. Not enough power plugs to run my laptop and other electronics I needed for my business trip. Parking is horrible. Walls are very thin and a couple arguing kept everyone up at night. Not recommended.

Very open, clean rooms, staff very helpful. and friendly.Close to good restaurants and shopping. Worth the price.

Well if you are planning to go to San Diego attractions each day, the location is 30 miles away, but for the price that is the only compromise to be made.

Great location

It was th cheapest hotel in the area, so we expected the wear and tear. It met our needs.

Nothing fancy but was very clean, front desk people very friendly & accommodated an early check-in. We were there just 1 night, worked out perfect! Would stay again. Nice restaurant next door. For the price, it was perfect.

Nice price and a value of the hotel.

Sombady outside smoking and little noise

Bed and internet, breakfast

parking

I really liked the staff. They were super friendly and helpful. It was rated as a 1 star hotel, so I wasn't expecting much and was pleased when I got into our FREE upgraded room... Went from a queen to king room! I'll stay there again!

Price

Dirty. Filthy! Bed bugs. Smelled. Ceiling was dirty... On our last night (thank goodness) they asked that we no longer take any more showers, or we would have to move to another room, because our water had leaked into the first level's room?!

staff were very nice. easy check in. they were knowledgeable about the area.

Location was nice

TV remote didnt work, Toilet wouldnt flush, bed was harder then the floor, microwave didnt work,
