Me-Time Getaway/Stay-cation

At check-in, the gentleman was delightful. My room was very modern & stylish, comfortable, clean, and fully equipped with microwave, fridge/freezer, iron, lots of space to put personal belongings, nice work area, nice eating table area with chairs, plenty of outlets with USB ports. They have great channels and nice big TV, great working AC. Most of all I felt safe. Great location near the freeway and main drags. Their coffee in the morning in their lobby is good & strong and tastes great. I highly recommend Escondido Lodge. I will definitely be returning.

Construction was being done in the room next to us and on the property around the motel. The room was clean and basic, There was no coffee in the room but there was a fridge. No breakfast in the mornings, but not too far away from options. It was clean and a decent bed. I'd stay there again if I needed to.

Good value for the money and the staff were all very friendly. Area had lots of construction but still pretty nice surroundings and felt safe. We walked our dog up the road and went to the grass patch in front of the animal urgent care, which was good since she can be picky where she goes potty. Room was recently remodeled but the shower setup got water all over the bathroom floor by the toilet. That definitely could have been designed better. Beds were a little loud when moving around but nothing unbearable and were comfortable. Room was mostly clean but the floors left our socks black so they could have been cleaned a bit better. Overall we had a good stay and were happy with the location and proximity to good local restaurants in downtown Escondido. Would stay again next time we’re in San Diego.
