I sold shutters for 10+ years and this place had pretty decent shutters! . That's always a good sign - quality window treatments in a motel. I was really impressed. I'm not a big fancy hotel guy - I usually just stay at Motel 6 - so I'm not an expert, but this place seemed to do all the little things right: - nice and easy check in; friendly staff, no hassle parking, a little off the beaten path in a semi-private area, lots of outlets, fridge, microwave, good water pressure, and it was $75 a night on a Sunday and Monday. (I think it's $110 on a Saturday) It's 30 miles from Petco Park and downtown San Diego so to me that's not far at all. I will definitely be making this my San Diego motel when I'm in town.

This is my favorite little motel in Escondido. Everyone is always so friendly and accommodating. Much Mahalo for the hospitality I get every time I stay. See you again on my next visit to Escondido. Also a plus is location and all the recent renovations in all the rooms. 5 Star all the way around!!!

Saw it when we were checking out; at least I slept on the other 1/2 of the bed!

4 stars for what I paid. This is not a "resort fees" type of accommodations. There was a tournament in the area and Motel Mediteran was one of the closest. It's a small hotel run by a small crew. We had 7 hockey families book with us and we got the pool area to ourselves for the kids to play & the adults to relax. Pizza Time delivered to the pool & it was one of the best I've had in awhile; in SD, OC and LA(!) I digress. 4 stars for the bathroom being clean, the pool being clean, hot water flowing immediately, & the A/C dropping to a nice chill to cozy down & sleep in. Two of the families had some hiccups; but maintenance came quickly to fix a broken pipe in one of the rooms as well as fix the broken drawers. I imagine in a larger scale hotel, those rooms might not have been booked immediately back to back. For twice the price and a few miles more out, there's a handful of mainstream hotel chains for those who cannot live without their amenities. It was a fun experience overall to pick a smaller hotel & keep our group more intimate. I would book again if we had a large group.

Great customer service at the front desk and we were checked in quickly. I asked for a first floor room and that's what I received. The room was clean, the water was hot and the AC was cold. They have hot coffee in the morning!

The room was clean and affordable, when I finally got it. But the check in experience was the worst I've ever experienced.

I've stayed at a few Comfort Inns across the country--from LA to San Jose to New York and…read moreChicago--but I have to say, this particular Comfort Inn at 1290 West Valley Parkway in San Diego is by far the best! The staff here is top-notch, who provide excellent customer service and are always attentive to guests' needs. The hotel itself is spotless, and the pillows and blankets smelled fresh, which is always a plus. Plus, the coffee and food were consistently fresh and tasty throughout my stay. The location is also super convenient, surrounded by a ton of great places to eat, plus Target, Ross, HomeGoods, and several gas stations. And being near the freeway makes getting around San Diego a breeze. If you're into fitness, the gym here is a nice bonus as well. Overall, this Comfort Inn definitely exceeded my expectations--great job, Raj and the team! Highly recommend!

On Thanksgiving evening my family of 3 had a reservation at Comfort Inn Escondido. When we arrived,…read morethere was a strong sewage odor in the parking lot. We hoped it wouldn't be an issue in the room, and checked in. Unfortunately, upon entering the room (210, 2nd floor) we realized the smell was throughout the hotel and it was going to be difficult to sleep. We opened the window, but, since the smell was outside, airing things out wasn't helpful. We decided we couldn't stay and went back to the front desk to explain the issue and let them know we wouldn't be staying. The front-desk employee was polite, but unable to refund our reservation and gave us the phone # of management. We were tired, and, if we could have stayed, we would have. Nobody wants to throw away the cost of a reservation. But the smell was unbearable. I can't blame the hotel for the air quality. That's out of their control. We looked online and found that North San Diego County has periodic issues (mostly from a Tijuana River raw sewage issue). But, they should either make customers aware or allow for cancellations on bad days. As suggested, I called and spoke with manager Raj who actually said he didn't believe me that there was an odor issue and he wouldn't refund the reservation. I was surprised at his response. I said that I would include that in my review (I like writing reviews and if you look, you'll see that I give lots of mostly-5 star reviews in which I try to include lots of useful pro/con details). Raj felt I was threatening. I do understand that - reviews can be used inappropriately. I said "no, I'm just letting you know that I do reviews and include my genuine experiences - good or bad." At this point, Raj said "I am not going to refund you your money" and hung up on me. That was weird - I never raised my voice and remained positive and constructive on the call. It was a genuinely bizarre call.

We stayed at Fairfield by Marriott for two nights while attending a wedding at Twin Oaks Garden…read moreEstate and were able to use a guest discount, although it still ended up being pretty pricey for a short stay. The room itself was what you would expect from a typical Marriott property. Clean, comfortable, and nothing out of the ordinary. The most disappointing part for me was the breakfast. As someone who eats plant based, my options were extremely limited. I ended up having oatmeal and bananas both mornings while watching most guests enjoy bacon and eggs. I was honestly expecting a bit more variety, especially fresh fruit, which feels like a basic for a standard Western hotel breakfast. On a positive note, the guy sitting on the bench outside was the best part. Overall, it was an okay stay, but I do wish there were more inclusive breakfast options, especially at that price point.

Gaby checked us out and she was super friendly. Our room was beautiful. The bathroom is lovely with a gorgeous huge walk in shower. Only complaint is it was hard to do my makeup because the lighting is very dim, so being a lighted makeup mirror...loved the closet and refrigerator and nice tv. The mattress was super comfortable and comfy pillows too. Breakfast was yummy and loved the coffee and waffle bar. (Don't forget to flip it so the timer goes on, should have a direction for that!) the breakfast area was nice and also an outdoor patio with heater is great. Wanted to take a jacuzzi but it was full with people and it's not very big. The pool is big. The whole experience was great and I highly recommend staying here and hope to be back in future.

After a long day of work, I was exhausted and needed to find a nearby hotel at a rate that was…read morereimbursable through my employer. After doing a quick "around me" search, Holiday Inn Express & Suites San Diego-Escondido popped up. Doing a cross-check between Yelp and Google, I saw that they had pretty good reviews. Being that they only had two rooms available for the desired price, I did not hesitate to book the reservation. Although the establishment had good reviews pertaining to the cleanliness and amenities of the hotel, poor customer service was a reoccurring theme in the reviews that I read. Therefore, I was shocked when I entered the establishment and was warmly greeted by a front desk employee by the name of Mark. Mark informed me about the hotel's amenities (including the free breakfast) and quickly checked me in. He also saw that I had dinner from the nearby California Fish Grill (the hotel is in close proximity to many restaurants and fast food establishments) and offered my utensils...talk about being attentive! My third floor room was very clean and appropriately furnished (to my delight the room had both a refrigerator and microwave). Although the room faced the busy freeway, the insulation was so good that I could barely hear anything. I liked the little touches such as the mirror with built-in vanity lighting around the perimeter. My only gripe was that the television was a traditional model with a few cable channels; in 2025 I would expect all hotel rooms to be equipped with a SMART TV that has built-in streaming platforms (e.g., Netflix, HBO Max). The following day, I grabbed a coffee from the cafeteria and quickly checked out. I enjoyed my stay here and will return if I'm in the area again!

For a Holiday inn Express it has poor maintenance . We have stayed at many locations over the yeas…read more. Most are well maintained some are better. This is the first time we needed to change rooms. The USB plugs are pushed in so far they do not work. the second location we has the same problem but with some effort made them work. There were lots of little things that just showed it was not well taken care of. Although we will continue to use Holiday Inn express we will not stay here again. BTW staff was friendly and helpful it just that the hotel needs a good facelift to meet the normal standard . Breakfast was good , bedding was clean although the beds seem shorted than standard

This particular Residence Inn is located off the 78 freeway and Las Posas Road. You would think…read morethat it is convenient, but unfortunately, it is in a traffic ridden location. Driving in and out of the hotel was a pain. This hotel isn't your typical hotel with restaurants in it. There wasn't food nearby within the hotel so I had to rely on food delivery. At least with the rooms, you can prepare your own food which is a plus. Their continental breakfast was basic, but did the job. The rooms which are coined suites, are large and spacious. The big downfall is really the paper thin walls. Even when wearing earplugs, I can hear the next door neighbors. The noise kept waking me up, resulting in a bad nights sleep. I wouldn't stay here again. Also, they charge $5/day for onsite parking which is obnoxious.

We predominately stayed at the Residence Inn San Marcos for the last 13-14 years. We took a break…read moreto stay at other hotels but decided to give it a try again over the Presidents Weekend. They now charge $5/day for parking. The 2 bedroom was pretty spacious, but is in need for some renovation. The beds were okay. The kitchen area is nice if you want to prepare a meal. However, the pots and pans were not cleaned by the prior occupant/house keeping. The daily breakfast was okay. The hot portion usually consists of scrambled eggs and sausage (pork/turkey). There is also a nice assortment of breads and bagels, oatmeal, and cereals. There are also two waffle makers. My boys enjoyed the waffle maker and the chocolate milk the most. The best part of the Residence Inn for our family is the pool room. They recently added an Arcade OneUp Machine, which you can play for free. You have to give a drivers license now to get the pool table gear. We think has cut down on who uses the pool room. The nightly front desk attendant was friendly and courteous. The workout room is nice for a daily workout and has a filtered water machine to refill your water bottles.
