We liked the property for the most part in Escondido. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good except the cheese omelets. Do not use the Kraft singles that taste like plastic in your egg omelets. They looked amazing but we’re not good. Also there was a homeless tent outside in the trees near your property. they set up camp just by the fence and parking on the pool side of the property. You may want to check that out

Hi Shauna, Thank you for taking a time to write a review for us. Although it's difficult to hear the not- so- good stuff, we appreciate you sharing your experience so that we can improve moving forward. And about the homeless encampments in the property, we are aware of the situation and on top of it by reporting to the state. Unfortunately it is one of those situation that is out of our hand because they are on the State side. We are doing our best to keep our guests as safe as possible. Once again, we appreciate you taking the time to share your comments with us.

We had an emergency and were unable to cancel are reservations. We stopped in to explain at the front desk the person was very rude. We were just letting them know the circumstances of the situation. She did not care.

For the amount of money I paid I’d expect more. The pool was dirty, the hot tub didn’t work, and the driveway in was under repair. The front desk staff were slow.
