Average Hotel at a good price

The hotel was good, unfortunately there is freeway construction going on nearby which was noisy first thing in the morning. The breakfast was good and service prompt. We had a problem with the TV at 9:00 at night and it was promptly repaired.

Holiday Inn Express - Escondido

This is not a new Holiday Inn Express. It was fine. I've stayed at much nicer. But it was clean. Just an average hotel.

Great place to stay

I was there for a one day meeting and stayed for 2 days. The staff was wonderful. The breakfast was very good. I was surprised to see the variety from day to day. I had a late flight and the let me stay a few hours extra. This hotel in near everything. When in the area again, I will stay here again.

They got complacent. C+ for the effort.

In this turbulent economy of summer 2010 there is no room for complaceny. There were numerous discrepancies with the service. However, the staff seemed to be concerned and worked diligently to correct the problems we brought to their attention. We are not the type to ask a lot of anybody.

great location

The service was great, they were very concern on taking care of my room having it cleaned daily, and changing of towels if I needed it. I elected to not have my room checked everyday. The breakfast provided daily was very good, and conveinent for me since I was on the go and had no time to stop to find somethng to eat. The location was great for me since I had to travel both north and south of San Diego.

Good location; comfortable room

The room was clean and the location is convenient. Several restaurants within a short walk. The highway is a quarter mile away. Hotel needs a facelift, though. A little run down. But overall, for the business traveler, just fine.
