spent four days with my wife and daughter. I found them less costly than the other hotels in the area. Nothing fancy, however very clean, and all the basics for our needs. The staff, was professional and helpful. Parking was not a problem.

Rooms were spacious and clean. Easy to park. Laundry facilities. Staff friendly. Kitchen not well stocked. Had to go down to the desk to get essentials (cups, bowls, plates, cutlery) and carry up to the room myself. Walkable shopping, restaurants and grocery nearby. Overall, positive experience.

Comfy room good price

It's a great choice for the price. It just threw us off that you have to ask for everything - plates, cups, coffeemaker, hairdryer... I get it and it makes sense but it was just a bit odd and I felt like I was annoying the lovely front desk agent.

The location is perfect - walk to a large open-air mall with a food store and a number of restaurants - and very near 78. Easy drive to Escondido, into San Marcos, to Cal State, etc. The property is very well-kept, and the staff were very pleasant. This is pet-friendly, so expect a lot of dogs - but we rarely heard any barking at all. The rooms are clean, with lots of outlets for plugging in electronic devices. The breakfast is a little sparse - packaged mini muffins, granola bars, instant oatmeal - but there's plenty of coffee and creamer, and that mall with restaurants is very close.
