Best budget place around

Extremely clean, updated, comfortable, quiet , and kind front desk. Will definitely be coming back and bringing family. This is not a “ you get what you pay for” kind of place. Total gem, would recommend to friends and family.

Liked: Cleanliness
The rooms were clean and in nice condition and it was comfortable. I didn't like that the room smelled strongly of bleach. I'm all for cleanliness but it was a bit to strong and had to have window open. Parking is to tight for some vehicles and I could not get my vehicle in a parking slot. I did arrive late so my experience might have been different had I come earlier. Other wise things were good.

It was in a great location for the event I was participating in. It had a "retro" look on the outside but the rooms were fantastic. There is a great gazebo and sitting area in the middle. Parking was good and it was easy to get in and out back onto the main road. I would recommend it to anyone going to Escondido.

Like so many businesses that reduced their services do to the covid scam so was this disappointment. They used to have light breakfast item’s available but now say they stopped during covid. The scam is over go back to good service!
