We were traveling out of town and going to arrive late. We called and they said no problem. When we arrived it was a quick check in process. You have to use your key on the wall to get most of the lights to work. The room was clean and cozy. The fridge was cold, and there is both coffee and tea. The beds were so comfortable and so were the pillows. A very comfortable nights sleep. We didn't have a chance to have breakfast at it is from 6-9am. The check out is simple just drop keys into the box at the front desk. read more

Overall it's an alright hotel though the rooms felt a little dated and could use some deeper cleaning from time to time to refresh it better. Good location for value when visiting the Safari Park. Complimentary breakfast was ok. Though I found it very strange and odd that they cook oatmeal and put it in the warmer dispenser with a plastic bag liner. The room we were in had shower doors that squeaks - definitely need some light repair. read more

My family and I stayed here May 26 to May 28, 2026. My daughter ended up with HIVES and I was itchy by the end of our stay. My daughter has a fractured ankle (unrelated) so when we entered the room, on May 26, 2026, we had our daughter sit on the couch while we wiped down the rest of the room. Nothing too crazy but the remote was sticky, there were a couple of hairs in the sink, and the door handle to the bathroom was pretty gross. Everything else was relatively clean and there were no bed bugs on the bed or curtains. I thought we were safe. Then I saw my daughter's back after her shower. I've included a picture. I couldn't pinpoint the source of the issue yet so we put lotion on her and went to bed. The next day we went to the Safari Park so we weren't in the room until the evening. That's when I sat on the couch. Within a few minutes. I started to get itchy. I immediately got off the couch and showered. So now we've identified the issue. The couch. By this time, we were already packed up to check out the next morning so it didn't make sense to switch rooms and have to wipe down another room. At check out, on May 28, 2026, I informed the front desk about the issue with couch and let them know that they should inspect it. I didn't ask for compensation, just that they need to clean the couch and possible steam it because I suspected that it was dust or dust mites that caused the reactions. On the morning June 2, 2026, our daughter still had red marks on her back so this must be more serious than I initially thought. I called Marriott customer service. Janice was so nice, apologizing for the experience and offer to put in a request to refund one nights room rate and taxes. I thought that was fair and thank her. That evening, I get an email for Rachel Ramos, Operations manager of SpringHill Suites Escondido (cc to Devon Akpom, the General Manager, I believe), saying that they were denying the refund request because they looked in the room and "didn't see anything" except a June bug. Girl. Since when can you see dust or dust mites on a fabric couch? A dismissal with an add insult to my intelligence. I reached back out to Marriott customer service on June 3, 2026 and spoke with Gloria. She said she couldn't override their decision so I asked to the issue to be escalated. She said that maybe if I reached out to Rachel Ramos, that maybe they'll offer me Marriott Bonvoy points. I let her know that I'm not interested in Bonvoy points because if this issue isn't resolved, I won't be staying at any more Marriott Hotels. Today is June 4, 2026. My daughter still has red marks on her back, even after Children's Allegra and lotion. We'll have to take her to the pediatrician. Don't make the mistake I did of booking a room here. read more

Great staff, wonderful atmosphere, and plenty of parking when we went. The upside: fire pit and chairs for cozy winter hangout, fitness room, continental breakfast with more than just pastries and cereal, smooth checkin process, market in lobby for 24hrs service, and electric charging stations. The downside: not many seating for breakfast when lots of people are there, the room doors are heavy, the bathroom door is a sliding door that doesn't lock, tv is not aligned with any seating, desk facing beds, and some outlets weren't working. We didn't get to try the pool since it was cold and winter but it looked really nice. Checkout was easy, we just put the door keys into a box and left! read more

We did a staycation over the weekend. This SpringHill is very nice. There a plenty of places to eat nearby if needed. The room was clean. Bathroom was clean. Employees are great. Breakfast the first morning was bleh. Runny eggs, ran out of oatmeal, stale/cold premade waffles. Ok. So Monday morning is completely different. Same breakfast but way more fresh and tasty. Maybe yesterday was just an off day. We really like this hotel and recommend for a quick weekend in San Diego. Especially, for those going to wild animal park. Not so far from Sea World either. It's decent price for what you get. I believe parking is $10 a night and safety is good. They lock up doors by 10pm and you would have to use room key to get in. read more

We have stayed here twice when we visited Southern California and are generally pleased. We drive an EV car and there are three (3) ChargePoint chargers. The cost is $10 per session. This really helped because we arrived at less than 9%. The trundle bed works pretty well and the room can accommodate a family of 4. The bathroom is a good size with a shower but doesn't have a tub. The breakfast is fairly standard. Eggs, sausage/bacon and some waffles. They also have various breads and yogurts. The fitness room was clean with modern amenities. There is also a water dispenser in the fitness room if you need to refill your water bottles. read more

We have been staying here for several years whenever in the area. Sadly conditions have deteriorated to the point where we will now look elsewhere. In May, we were assigned to room 427. The shower door did not close. We reported the problem. In June, we returned and we're coincidentally again assigned to room 427. The shower door still did not close properly. We reported it again and were told that the bottom seal had been replaced. Even so, the shower door still did not close properly. In addition, the elastic for the bottom bed sheets was worn out, did not hold and came out. Basically had to remake the bed the next day. Also, there was a noxious smell in the bathroom sink that was disgusting. On a brighter note, the weather was nice. read more

This location is awesome! Clean, Very comfortable beds, pool, bar and real breakfast! Adi was amazing, she truly did everything she could for us when we were in a last minute panic and then went above and beyond. We received actual hospitality which is hard to come by now days. She's the exact type of person you want representing your hotel! read more

Hotel seemed very new as everything was clean, fixtures modern and rooms were large. From the moment we checked in, check-in process was seamless and the front desk attendant was very friendly. Once we entered the room, it was a suite with a microwave and fridge and a large living room area. The beds were comfortable and there were a lot of outlets for to plug in our electronics, including USB ports. My only complaint was the room was lacking a full length mirror only had a mirror in the bathroom. They did have a walk in closet although we really didn't need that much room since we were only there for 1 night. They had free breakfast in the morning with lots of options and a lot of seating, which is always a plus especially for a busy weekend. Although restaurants were not within walking distance, there were a lot of restaurants within driving distance since the hotel did not have a restaurant or bar other than the free breakfast. read more

We stayed here to go to the San Diego Safari Park which is around 15-20 minutes away. Overall, this hotel was great. The front desk at check in was nice and since it wasn't crowded, we were able to enter our room around 11am. Unfortunately, the toilet handle was broken when we arrived but after telling the front desk, when we returned from our lunch, it was fixed when we came back. We liked this hotel since it was quiet and also close to the Safari Park. I think the only downside is that they do charge $10 for parking. But still a good stay overall. read more

Stayed here over the weekend. We went to SeaWorld and it's about 30 mins from it. It is located in a great location, many restaurants and stores near by. I called day before to request room with view, higher floor and with 2 queen beds. Lady whom I spoke to was friendly and said she'd put in requests. Upon checking in, the gentleman who checked us in was polite and friendly. We got a room with 2 queen beds plus a trundle bed. The room was very spacious and clean. Smelled good! We also got a good view and placed on their highest floor, the 4th. They offer a complimentary breakfast, times vary during the week and weekends. They have good options and they keep it well stocked. My only little complaint (but not really), was I placed a request through Bonvoy app to have more pillows and blankets brought to room and they were never delivered but on the app it said it was completed. I always use the app to have items delivered to room. Not sure what happened but I ended up just doing without them as I had a long day at SeaWorld and just wanted to rest. I would def stay here again, as I have a SeaWorld pass and will be returning! :) read more

I come in here whenever I am mad at my husband. If he even looks at me funny I'm off to Springhill Suites in Escondido. It's my third time this year and it's only April. I come here when I need peace and quiet and I crawl into that bed in my pajamas and just get some quality rest. The beds are nice. All white crisp bedding. I bring my own pillow, but they have tons of nice pillows. In the cabinet there's extra blankets and pillows, which I always use. The people at the front desk are always nice. There's a continental breakfast in the morning that's fantastic. There's eggs or omelettes, sausage, cereals, toasts and bagels. The coffee is great, vanilla creamers. There's chocolate milk in the little refrigerator. I always get an extra one for night time. I enjoy it. It's super comfortable there. It's my secret home away from home. It's very clean and I am picky. it's centrally located too if you want to get out of there and go shopping or do dinner. Lots of places to choose from. I feel very safe there as well and I don't worry about my car in the parking lot. If you're thinking of staying anywhere, I think this is the best place in Escondido. read more

I've stayed here about 5 years ago when it was fairly new. I had high hopes. I pre checked yelp and saw a honest review which led to my doubts. We tried it anyways. I'm sorry we did . We walked in one gal Abigail was working. I came up to check in. No smile. Just a robot doing a job . She checked me in and hurried back to whatever she was doing behind the counter check in wall. Our room had a stained couch that could really use a deep cleaning .. yuck. Also no ventilations whatsoever in the room can't open a window no vent works. Water pressure in the sink was a fast drip The bed was very comfy we slept great. Came down to mediocre breakfast. I had my typical scrambled eggs with salsa and cheese. Got the mini waffles for my daughter they were hard as a rock. We gave her a mini muffin and fruit instead. As we sat down I noticed again the couches are disgustingly stained. Come on mariott I know you can do better. Upon check out I was met with new robot staff.. no smiles . Just a rush to get you out. The girl said ok you're set I asked for a paper receipt. This seemed to be an inconvenience for her . Yikes ! She passed the receipt turned around and walked away , again no thanks for being a mariott member, have a great day? This staff needs improvement ! I won't stay here again. Residence inns have always been great to us so if you need to stay nearby go to residence inns down the road . read more

Positives: front desk staff was very nice and kind. Shaquille was very helpful and caring. Overall the room was nice, the shower products were full size so no concerns over running out of products Breakfast had quite a few classic options Negative: breakfast is advertised to end at 9:30am but by 9:09am the lady was already clearing the breakfast station. At 9:20 I went to get more juice only to find the juice fountain had already been turned off. The pullout couch had a urine smell which I didn't notice initially but I did see it had a stain that looked like they tried to clean it off. It wasn't until my toddler needed a 4am cuddle and when I went to lay on the pullout you could smell urine. Not my daughter's urine as she didn't have an accident. I saw a couple of ants roaming around on the work desk in the room as I was working on my computer Would I stay here again? Maybe. But I would have a better idea what to look for upon check in and to ask the front staff to make sure the breakfast is available until the advertised time. And that the couch is clean from the get go and that there's no bugs. read more

The front desk (Alex) was very nice. After checking in, We went to our room just to put our luggages. We left and came back at around 11 pm and turned the air on. I went to the unit to check if it is getting cold and to my surprise, there's a lot of ants. We called housekeeping and front desk and were told that there is no more room available and will check with maintenance the next day. We asked for a spray that we can use because we cannot sleep with those ants near our bed. After a few minutes, a lady came and clean just outside of the air condition unit. She apologized and left. Few minutes after, the ants came back. We were not able to rest that night after a long day. read more

I didn't expect much for the price but our stay exceeded our expectations. They were clean, the pool was great, the breakfast was also good. The room was spacious and had an Airbnb feel because the sleeping area was divided by a small office/ desk setup, and begins the divider was the sofa sleeper area that felt like a small living room. Overall, we had a great experience. read more

I chose this hotel because of the location. Located in a nice, safe area and about 15 minutes from the San Diego Safari. Rooms and facility were clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice, with lots of choices. Yummy coffee! Pool was small, but my boys had it all to themselves and a nice gentleman turned on the fire pit for me. Only negative is charging for parking, which I thought I would get away from by not choosing a downtown San Diego hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel for families! read more

4.5 for our last getaway of the year we stayed at Springhill suites. Great local option in Escondido. My husband did his usual critter inspection of the room and found no issues. The staff were courteous and responsive. Our room was spacious and came equipped with two queen beds and a sofa. Also, mini fridge and microwave. If your looking for a budget, family friendly option, this is a solid choice. I would stay here again when in the area. read more

Paid a little more than I wanted to but for a good experience. Thank you for accommodating our room requests (not near an elevator, not facing the freeway, upper floor.) The beds were comfortable, customer service is good and their breakfast is delicious with many fresh choices. I ate $25-$30 worth. However the breakfast food area was in a tight space for the amount of guests. An open flow design would have been more accommodating. The rooms have a modern minimalist design. We reserved 2 Queens and a trundle. The trundle bed is too soft to sleep in, (unless you're a cat or dog). Had we needed it, sleeping on the sofa would have been more comfortable and supportive. Having a coffee table was useful as we chose to eat breakfast in our room. Our room had a big walk in closet, with an iron, a refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave. In the lobby there's an area for doing work on your laptops. They also sell snacks and drinks. The only big ding is their extra check out fee that was later removed from the final bill several days after they said it would. This maintenance fee was vague and confusing. It's an option when visiting the Safari Park if you're willing to wait for the extra fee to be removed. read more

I stayed here years ago. I think it was just after it had been completed and open for guests. I'm not sure if Marriott owned it at that point, but it was excellent. I have to say now I've stayed in the last two weeks and what I spent in Escondido on this hotel. It's not Beverly Hills costs is outrageous for the experience. When I first checked in, I had a problem with I think she's the manager. It was instant she didn't like me or maybe this is just how she acts with everybody. But something was very wrong with her. I checked in. Then I brought in my dog through the front. I had him last time I stayed no harrassment. She said rather nasty dogs weren't allowed. She waited to make her day if I left. I informed her that I had a medical dog. It was against CA law to discriminate. Law school was worth something. I offered her my doctors note. Get this, she said, if it was really a service animal, I wouldn't be holding him in my arms. It doesn't get dumber than that so the next morning. I was down for coffee sitting in the lobby. I was overtaken by a couple who had six children and two dogs without a leash. Running in the lobby. No staff said anything to them. This woman did everything she could to make my stay miserable. She was nasty and cold. I almost asked for my money back. She made me so uncomfortable I checked my dog into a pet resort. This hotel was such a bad experience, but it gets worse. Everybody there has four or five kids. I don't know where they live, but they make a lot of children. They're all running in the lobby area with dogs. They're running through the halls. I had above me kids that wrestled and jumped on the floor until 2 o'clock in the morning. No I didn't call the front desk because it would've been pointless. The place is an expensive romper room. I will never stay there again. As matter a fact it's really spoiled me off any Marriott. I let her know that I didn't have any welcome water in my hotel room. I mentioned a couple of other things that were missing. She said oh that's for premium members. So apparently Marriott doesn't give you a welcome water unless you're premium. I'm gonna think that that's in pretty bad taste. I'd like my money back. It was a complete waste of time and money. This woman treated me badly and I don't know why. I have expensive clothes. I wear polo. I have an apple watch. Lol. I have no idea why she disliked me so much. It was in an instant when I entered the hotel. The message to me you don't belong here. I don't recommend you stay here. Unless you have unruly kids. It's supposed to be our superior Escondido hotel. It is anything but that. I went elsewhere and I am so happy here. I'm not gonna mention it, but I am going to do a super great review for the hotel I am at now. Staff needs training on service dogs! Or they will be sued. read more

Wow the customer service here is impeccable! I went through a whole ordeal with Expedia, booked a room last minute for the night, wanted to cancel/refund after being able to stay at my friends place, but ended up needing the hotel room anyway. Point is, the manager--Bryan-- was there on the other line helping me all the way to make sure I get the refund and even upgraded me from a king bed to double queen. Such an awesome, patient human! The room is also very clean and bed very cozy, right amount of hardness. I feel so grateful to find this place last minute for the trip. Thank you Springhill Suites! read more

SpringHill Suites by Marriott San Diego Escondido/Downtown - Hotels Near Me - Escondido, California

This SpringHill Suites opened in 2019 and still maintains a new, fresh and clean environment both in the common areas and the guest rooms. The guest suites are very spacious with a nice sitting area separating the sleeping area by a nice working desk with convenient power outlets. I found the bed very comfortable and able to give me a good night's sleep. The room also comes with a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. The bathroom is equally spacious supplied with Paul Mitchell's Tree Tea toiletries. In the morning, guests are treated to a free hot and cold breakfast buffet. SpringHill Suites is definitely a great value in the North San Diego area. It is located less than a mile from downtown Escondido with many fine dining opportunities and very close to San Diego Safari Park. Parking is also free. The staff is very friendly and quite helpful. It is evident that this location and management take extreme meticulous care in hospitality and sanitization for an enjoyable guest stay. read more

Our stay was ok. For the amount of money that was spent I was expecting so much more. Positives: - The location was convenient, we were near restaurants and the freeway. We were close to the San Diego Safari Park. - Free breakfast, coffee wasn't the best but the eggs were good and they had the standard, juices, cereal, prepackaged waffles, oatmeal, bagels and toast Negatives: -Parking was not free. Unfortunately if you want to stay close to the Wild Safari Park you really don't have too many options for hotels. -The room walls are very thin! You can hear everything. -There is no overnight housekeeping. We had an incident where we needed extra linens and help to clean and no was there to help. When we called the front desk we were hung up on. When we talked to someone at the front desk. The gentleman had a very condescending attitude. Nope I will not be staying here. I have stayed at better places with a better staff for less money. read more

What an extraordinarily disappointing experience. Checked in and was told the rate and dropped off my suitcase. Called after dinner to confirm because the wrong dates were printed on the confirmation requested. Was told over the phone by Abi that the rate was twice as much as what we were told. Did not end up staying at this hotel after their dishonesty. The check in person made passive remarks about my relationship to my father on check in as well, which prompted asking for the initial reciept. Abi was unkind and inconsiderate when talking on the phone and while checking out. Do not stay here unless you can afford to pay twice as much as what they tell you. read more

The hotel is clean and well kept. The complementary hot breakfast is simple and yet convenient. And we enjoyed the location because downtown Escondido, nearby shops and restaurants were all easily accessible within just a few minutes of driving. Having said that, this hotel isn't perfect. The biggest thing that we disliked was the AC unit. The direction of the vent is fixed and it blows directly onto the occupants in the bed. As a result, we had to sleep with the AC off, because it was simply too cold otherwise. read more

I enjoyed staying at this hotel! I arrived at 9pm after a long day at the San Diego Wild Animal Safari Park and the front door was locked. I rang the bell and was greeted by the front desk attendant quickly. He informed me that the doors are locked nightly at 8pm and you need your key to enter. I was happy that the doors were locked. I felt safer staying at the hotel. I was checked in, was able to park right outside, and access my suite quickly. The lobby was clean and welcoming. There was a lit Christmas tree, it was such a nice touch. As we entered our room, we were happy to find a refrigerator and countertop with coffee maker, cups, and ice bin. A small sofa and foot rest. A desk and chair. A semi-separated area with two queen beds. A large restroom. A large closet. Our room had a window. This hotel is in an industrial park and not in a location that has great views, but I appreciated a view of the city lights. Everything was clean. I did not hear any noise from any other rooms. In the morning there was a continental breakfast that even included turkey sausage! Coffee alone makes me happy so everything else is icing on the cake. We had eggs and yogurt. My niece & nephew enjoyed yogurt, eggs, and a bagel. We would have liked to have cereal but there was no milk. These things happen. Also, don't get to breakfast late, they stop stocking around 30 minutes before breakfast ends and whatever you don't get you don't get. There was plenty of seating, including tables, couches, and even private booths with TV's. The hotel also has a fitness center and outdoor pool. I did not use them on my trip. I will definitely return the next time I visit Escondido! read more

Experiences are more often than not determined by the customer service that it provides - my experience there was no different.

This is a nice place to stay. The staff were friendly and the rooms were neat. You do get a breakfast made up of eggs, sausage, bacon, coffee, tea, juice, muffins, bagels, and cereal. There are two EV chargers although you do have to pay for them. If there is one thing I would change, is that since the seating area is separate from the bedroom/window, the lights needs to be brighter. Otherwise I would come back to stay here again. read more

The negative star is for the lady named Maribeth (at least that's what she said her name was) who makes the food for breakfast. I've been to this place many times so I already know how super slow and rude this lady is. She shouldn't be working there coz her customer service is freaking poor! She has a nasty attitude and acts like she owns the place or money is coming out of her pocket to feed the customers/members. She makes me very uncomfortable and makes me cringe to the bone! When I was there last, she was chitchatting in the buffet area in Spanish in front of me and other customers with a female worker. I guess she thought i couldn't understand Spanish coz I could hear her talking about me. She shouldn't be allowed to work anywhere, period! She's a very nasty human being! read more

The hotel was beautiful. Staff was a bit interesting, we checked in five rooms for our high school dance team for an event nearby. Sadly, we couldn't check in our last room which was mine because they didn't have it ready in time so we couldn't get properly ready for our show & just hung out in the lobby which was nice anyways so I had no problem as long the rest of the team had their rooms ready. The bathroom didn't have all the amities we needed so that was a bummer. Rooms are very nice & if you pay attention the view from the rooms are just as cool I thought. And the breakfast was great the next morning I loved the selection of items. read more

Very friendly staff. Check in was fast & simple! They definitely took good steps towards COVID. They have bandit barriers all over the front desk, employees are all wearing masks, hand sanitizers are at prime locations for easy usage, and they enforce all customers to also wear masks within the building. The room is exactly as it looks in the pictures on their website. Very clean and loved the layout! Stayed a night to go to the SD Safari Park which was only 15m drive locally! It's right next to the freeway with lots of places to order take out nearby. They also have a Target less than a minute away for convenient shopping if you forgot to pack anything at home! Would definitely recommend! read more
