Overall, this lodge is ok. On the positive, Trader Joe's, Starbucks and some other shops are just up the street. The hotel is a few minutes from the freeway, so access is easy. The room is spacious and clean. The bathroom is small. The room had a weird smell, maybe from the cleaning agent or something, was a bit annoying.

Travel Ball Stay - minutes from Kit Carson Park

The hotel is located in a redevelopment area under construction. The hotel is fairly old but recently remodeled and very clean. Access from the highway is convenient and located less than 30min from the beach.

Great stay and pet friendly

Everything about to stay at the Escondido Lodge was great except for having a bed that was not so comfortable in a little springy and made a lot of noise when you moved around. Other than that it was great

Everything was good except for the coffee you had to go to the front desk for coffee. When I got there, there was no coffee. Looks like the guy was asleep behind the desk some kid. He said oh sorry I’ll make some right now. Went back 30 minutes later. The coffee was not even lukewarm and it was awful. The hairdryer in the room did not work at all my girl needed it. Went to the front desk to see if they had another hairdryer. The same kid at the front desk said I will find out I will call you. I never got that call went back up to the front desk just to hear him telling me no they don’t have another hairdryer. Why don’t they check that stuff before they rent the room out? Why do they have the hairdryer hanging on the wall.
