My family really liked the place. it is super clean and well maintained. my kids loved the breakfast. I definitely would stay again. Thank you very much for doing great job and keep up your awesome place.
The staff is professional and helpful, especially Zen. She found ear buds for me to use on the workout equipment. Thanks to all of the staff. The gym needs to be updated and T.V. connections fixed (sometimes it worked, sometimes the T.V. didnt work.) I chose Holiday Inn over Best Western because they have a workout room. The breakfast at Holiday Inn was superior. (Hot, cinnamon rolls, make your own pancakes, hot sausage, biscuits, and gravy, turkey sausage, beef sausage, scrambled eggs, apples, bananas, boiled eggs, yogurt, milk, and cereal.) The beds were super comfortable.
The location was great right off the freeway with plenty of restaurants around. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Excellent breakfast!
Positive: Location, cleanliness, breakfast, spacious suite. Negative: The door to the room was difficult to open and close. It seems like the had been kicked in because it was warped on the bottom. After closing the door when entering and leaving we had to give it an extra hard push to close properly. After closing the door
Good location, the breakfast was really good with lots of options. Hotel was really clean and the hotel staff was very welcoming. There are a lot of restaurants and stores around the area so you dont have to drive to buy a good meal or to go shopping.
The tvs in lobby and dining area did not work, they were pre programmed to one channel. Also the breakfast was always cold/ plus I used almost 30000 points for this vacation and it was an absolute terrible experience. I am so disappointed with IHG I have never experienced this in all my years as a loyal member. I am asking for my points plus an additional 30000 points for the horrible experiences, also my wifes and I were being intimate and someone kept knocking on our door at 2-3 a.m this was very disturbing and not only one night almost every night!!!!!!!!!
Great location, welcoming staff. Housekeeping didn’t come one day, not a big deal as we got new towels at the front desk. Breakfast had many options
The rooms are perfect for a short stay. Equipped with a fridge and microwave. The hotel has everything you need and in a great location.
Our room had an ice machine right outside that was being used to fill ice chests at 11:00 at night, it went on forever. There was an exit door on the other side of the wall that was used frequently. The room was small and this is the first time I have been disappointed in a Holiday Inn Express. We are “Silver” members, this room was not up to par.
Arrived at 8:30 PM and the only room they had left was on the 1st floor directly facing the pool. Lots of foot traffic outside in the hallway. Barking dogs, crying babies, people shouting at 12 AM. Very thin walls so dont expect much sleep if you are a light sleeper. Room smelled funky too, but it was clean for the most part. Reception was friendly, but would not stay here again for over $200 a night. Crazy expensive for what you get.
I booked this hotel because my son had a sports event coming and thought it was best to stay somewhere near and I don’t regret it. I had a very peaceful sleep and was able to get breakfast in the morning.
Positive: Average hotel nothing special Negative: Rooms are very small. Bathroom want very clean. Outside of the hotel there were homeless individuals doing drugs on the street.
Horrible experience, the room too small, for the price I expected something better! The room was not clean, we got little spiders in bed and bathroom, cold food, tasteless!
My stay was great. beds were very comfy room was pretty big. Room was nice and clean front desk was great I would really recommend it to friends and family . The area of the hotel was in a very good spot stores and restaurants were just walking distance ...
This was a great place to stay next to a Variety of food outlets. And the freeway. This hotels very clean not only the rooms but overall. Breakfast was good. We really enjoyed Our stay . Definitely stay here again next time in the area.
Positive: The staff were all very nice Breakfast was good Negative: Its a very old bldg in dire need of a remodel. Rust in bathroom in a few places, wallpaper in bad shape, grout too. Decorative molding was missing in living room. Room was very small. Window was old aluminum frame and very hard to open.
It was a quick and painless check-in, though the location was a little confusing at first. The room is good, the blinds keep out the light and the noise from the highway did not impact my rest. The toilets water pressure is quite low and sometimes it doesnt flush very well. Breakfast was slightly hectic and food items ran out without refills for a while.
Room was spacious, mattress was more firm than I would have liked. My Sleep suffered a bit. Breakfast was great. Had something for everyone. The workout room wasn’t bad. Had average equipment. Treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, free weights up to 45 pounds and some yoga mats. Overall, I would definitely stay there again.
Ive stayed here a handful of times because I like the attached suite the rooms have. Its handy for traveling with kids. Theres an In n Out and Caines in the same parking lot. Its right next to the freeway so theres a substantial amount of noise from that.
Overall my stay was excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. My room was services all but one day which Im sure was just an oversight. The complimentary breakfast was also great as there was a variety of options each and every day. Personally, I wish there were more days where bacon was served, but that is just a preference. Finally, location is very convenient to the highway and many store and dining. It is a very busy area (to be expected), so leave a few extra minutes during high peak traffic times. I would stay here again if I was in the area.
Positive: Its at the end of a street, so its quiet and there arent any homeless people. Negative: The traffic to get to the hotel is difficult; theres an In-and-Out restaurant right next to the hotel, and the road gets backed up.
Always a pleasant stay here. The staff is very accommodating and the rooms are nice and updated.
I looked at reviews for this hotel and booked based upon them. I was not familiar with Escondido. A huge mistake. The room’s walls are paper thin. I could hear the television show the people were watching in the room next to me. I could hear them laugh and talk. They were not at all loud so it wasn’t their fault. The third night started out quiet but someone checked in or arrived at 2:30 AM. They spent the next hour talking on the telephone. I could hear the conversation. I could hear snoring and the trips to the restroom. I could hear way too much. Thankfully, the fourth night required me to get up very early to drive and catch flight. Another zero sleep night. No paper or pen in rooms, I asked if they had a wine opener and was allowed to come down and use it because if taken to room, “they don’t get returned”. This is a hotel that appears to cater to construction crews. Nothing wrong with that but they do enter/exit all hours and huge trucks take a lot of prime space parking lot (they should park in back).
Clean, comfortable room at a well maintained property. Delicious breakfast options as well. The staff was also very personable, warm and friendly. Would stay here again.
The hotel had comfortable beds, rooms were clean, loved the suite room with mini-fridge and microwave. Its close to a lot of stores. Breakfast in the morning was great
Smaller room than weve had at other HIEs, but a nice, clean place. Comp breakfast was good. Convenient location, close to restaurants, shops and the freeway. We had a great 3 night stay.
All was well. Food wa good and the room was clean. Randy was very accommodating to our needs.
Location is good, but In& Out Burger should be required to keep a traffic person in control of keeping the road to the hotel not blocked by their drive-up window traffic. Sometimes it took over 5 minutes to get access to the hotel. The breakfast food staff did an excellent job of keeping the food coming & up keeping the tables clean. The air conditioning in the lobby & breakfast area was nice & cool.
Nice and neat hotel, the rooms were pretty compact for family trips, but it’s perfect for business travelers.
The only reason I stayed in this hotel is the location to Seaworld is good. But the room is too small and the breakfast selection is pathetic.
Love staying at Holiday Inn Express because I know what to expect. The consistency is what I love, and value. We stay at Holiday Inn Express whenever we travel and will continue to do so! Great job!
We arrived with a late check in after a long, difficult trip. We were greeted warmly from the staff. The room was clean and comfortable. Although it was located near a freeway, the noise level was very low.
I wish the room was a little bigger as we go the double queen for my family of 3.The rooms are perfect though for Business travelers.
This hotel is my go-to when I come to visit the Safari Park. Although Im also a huge fan of IHG as a whole, and of its upscale properties like Kimptons, this wonderful little Holiday Inn Express is one of my favorites just for my weekend getaways. The staff knows me, greets me and, frankly, spoils the daylights out of me! The location is great, and often I can use my points (I take advantage of IHGs purchasing deals through the year). I stay here for the Safari Park, but its not that hard to get to the Zoo, Sea World or Old Town either, if you time it right.
Pool is warm, great Jacuzzi. Breakfast is outstanding!! Staff is amazing! Right across from huge shopping strip mall. Next to burger joints etc. We stay here when heading across the border. Cheaper than SD and great quiet area.
I spent 4 nights here. Everyone was friendly. Rooms were clean and had everything I would need for my trip. Great breakfast options. Overall a really nice stay.
This is one of the best hotels Ive ever stayed in. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast had all they promised. The hotel and our room were very clean, which is the most important feature to us. The beds were very comfortable. The room was very quiet throughout the night.
This location is closed to the Safari Park, and has a Target near by if you need to buy stuff. We dine at a nearby ayce K-bbq place, which is < 10mins away. Lots of other restaurants options too.The pool and the facility was clean, beds were soft and comfortable. Even with a minimalist design, my family got all we needed for our stay. Love the Dove series of toiletries product instead of a cheap brand. The staff were great! Thank you for the wonderful hospitality, would definitely stay here again!
Hotel staff is great. Rooms are adequate and a bit dated. Air conditioner in my room was very noisy. Bathroom amenities acceptable. Location has good access to the freeway (I-15) and there is quite a bit of shopping in the immediate vicinity. There is a pool which I did not use. Breakfast is adequate with mostly unhealthy food items however there were bananas and apples available. Access to the hotel is somewhat impeded by a long snaking line of cars lined up for the adjacent In N Out Burger location which partially blocks access to the hotel and which is very annoying from around 11:00 am until very late in the evening.
Excellent room for an express. AC worked well during the heatwave and room had everything I needed for my stay. Room could use some touch ups but overall comfortable and better than other Express and standard Holiday Inns Ive stayed at. Plenty of shopping and food choices within walking distance and right ne t to 15 fwy, super easy to get around. Will stay again if in town.
This place felt like a renovated motel 6, room are not well maintained and very dirty. Our front door was broken we couldn’t even lock it, bathrooms we had to Sanitize ourselves. Not a kid friendly place, it’s in the back backed up to a freeway. Around. Fast food restaurants with massive traffic at night. Very loud.Dirty bathrooms, carpets dirty even hair on the floors it was gross. It was a last resort to book a room.No housekeeping at night.No manager pass 9pm ! It’s very small, even the elevator was small !This is nothing like what they post on there website at all !Giving a one star was being generous !
Definitely surprised by this place, not expecting much but my stay was very pleasant. The reception desk was friendly. The rooms are not fancy, but they were quiet, had a mini fridge, microwave, plus washer and drier down the hall was nice. Hotel had a nice little pool and jacuzzi for family to relax in after youre out all day walking. If your looking for a clean place to sleep and a decent breakfast this is the place.
Janice the manager is extremely helpful. I make special request and she always comes through! Their front desk staffers are very friendly & helpful👍 The location is well kept! My room is always cleaned to perfection! I highly recommend this location.Regards,David
My husband and I made a last minute reservation and was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a suite when we got to the hotel since they no longer had a regular room available. The front desk person was very pleasant and accommodating. The bed was perfect; firm yet comfortable. The hot breakfast was better than I expected. Our room was clean and the temperature comfortable. Will consider staying here again whenever we visit our daughter at CSUSM.
My experience was pleasent, service was kind and friendly. The room was clean, and there is a small fitness center that you can utilize 24/7. If you are visiting the area and need a place to stay, I recommend giving this place a try.
The staff are nice, polite and accommodating.The room is clean.The location seemed safe.Good service.Warm breakfast with various selections .Highly recommended.We will come back again.
We stayed here for 1 night with our 3 children. They enjoyed the pool and the breakfast in the morning. It was walking distance to many restaurants and Target in case you need anything. Very convenient for families. We also went to the San Diego Wild Animal Park which was close by and easy to get to. We definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone we know.
Enjoyed our stay. Front office very helpful and friendly. I was given assistance to sign up for IGH rewards.Close to Inn and Out burger which usually has a long line. You need to drive around the traffic to get int the place.Food was good but we got there just before closing so a couple of items were missing.
We found the Holiday Inn Express in Escondido to be updated, clean, and comfortable. The staff and employees we encountered were courteous, friendly and helpful. Our room and bath were very clean and updated. The room contained a microwave, refrigerator, and fully stocked Keurig coffee maker. The front desk placed us on the top floor farthest away from the front of the building which was appreciated. This is an older but recently remodeled hotel with original windows which could be noisy in a room facing streets or traffic. Breakfast was efficient and was managed by a friendly employee who filled your order from a menu placed on a table that blocked access to the food room. Food was placed in to-go containers which could be taken away or eaten at socially distanced tables. We would recommend the hotel.
The staff are great, the location is perfect. There are plenty of restaurant choices nearby. I will be utilizing this hotel for future visits.
In terms of service, this hotel is great. the staff is very polite, accommodating, and fast, and breakfast was amazing.In terms of cleanliness/clean feeling, its not so great. The bathroom was musty and kind of gross (the flooring, walls, and bathtub itself, the mirror and the counter were both clean), the sheets were stained, and also it was way too dark, even with the window open and all the lights on. Also our whole floor smelled like someone had recently smoked which made it worse.We stayed here because it was a last minute trip, and it definently has the quality youd expect from the reviews.Overall, theyve done their best to make a pretty old building nice, but it needs some work. Its livable, for sure. But its not the most affordable and comfortable hotel in Escondido. Its quiet, and pretty small, Id say its probably not a great place for young children. If you need a last minute place to stay, and every other nice hotel is booked, its the place to stay.also please fix your elevators theyre loud and clunky
If you have more than one person staying in these rooms, beware! They are TINY, and not equipped for more than one guest. Ive stayed in larger accommodations on a cruise ship. There is only 1 chair in a 2-bedded room, and only 2 bath towels are provided. It is not a place where you can relax and enjoy. The property is situated next door to an In N Out Burger, and you can reach the hotel only by waiting in their insanely busy drive thru line OR drive past their drive thru line in the oncoming traffic lane. Not worth the trip.
Close to food choices and the highway. Have to go around the drive thru at In N Out but it works. Room was super quiet and clean. Loved having microwave and refrigerator for snacking. Didnt use the pool but it looked great and other people seemed to be enjoying it.
Next to shopping and restaurants. Great location. Wish bathroom was bigger. Plus side the room was huge thats y i think the bathroom could be bigger
I booked a king suite for two nights for my family here. We arrived in the evening for a late check in which went well. I booked a king’s suite room because it was considerably larger than a double queen bed room and would allow my kids more space to move around. It was nice the room had a little kitchen area with a microwave and refrigerator. The room was clean and decent, except the toilet didn’t flush that well. I had to hold the toilet handle, so the water would go down. Also, I noticed a blow dryer wasn’t included in the room. I probably should have asked the front desk if they could have provided this. A downside for this place was driving to the hotel. You would have to pass In and Out which may have a long line for the drive thru. We liked that this place provided breakfast, too. Overall, we were pleased with our stay here.
Positive: It could stand some upgrading- the carpet in my room was worn and frayed- but it was ok. Ask for a room facing away from I-15. I didnt, and I could hear traffic noise that starts at 5 am. Negative: The traffic for In-and-Out backs up and it can take 20 minutes just to get to the hotel from when you turn off Valley Pkwy. Its an extremely dangerous situation. Because of that alone, I will think twice about booking there again.
I had a great stay due to the staff at the hotel. They helped me get multiple rooms for different nights and greeted me with kindness. I felt comfortable throughout my whole stay. Another thing I loved were the beds. I had some of the best sleep and like how the two blinds make the room extra dark. This helped me sleep so much better. The views from the hotel were also lovely. I had a great view of the mountains and was able to see a really nice sunset!
Everything was very clean and well maintained. Rooms are very small but comfortable. I wish they offered queen dbl rooms but I dont think 2 queens would fit. Pool area is nice . Hotel had very little noise while we were there.
Was a late arrival to hotel when arrived there was adequate parking and lighting. The receptionist was cheerful and had everything ready for us. We forgot some toiletries but the receptionist was able to help us out. She was enforcing and practicing all covid measures which me me feel safe. The rooms were cleaned excellent and the beds were comfortable. There was breakfast available and fresh. Checkout was easy and smooth I would definitely stay here again and recommend to my friends.
My son and I stayed at this location for a lacrosse tournament. The hotel was great. The room was clean, best pillows, loved having shampoo, conditioner, body wash in the shower so I didnt need to use my travel stuff. The staff was very friendly and the pancake machine for breakfast was amazing.
I randomly was driving and my house was crowded. I was curious to see what hotels were open. I found this place. The lady at the desk was awesome! She set me up with a nice room and it was easy to travel in and out of my room to the lobby area without having to use an elevator. Plus I need the exercise. Stairs was the option. When walking into the lobby it’s clean, well kept, spacious and adheres to Covid-19 guidelines. The room was very nice. Although next time I’ll ask for a better view. Nonetheless the room was immaculate and spacious. The bathroom was very clean and I like how I didn’t have to go shopping for toiletries because it was all provided. There was abundance of towels too. The bed was clean very comfortable with nice fluffy pillows. The day was hot so I made use of the a/c. At my place we don’t have a functioning A/C. I just needed a relaxation and private time. This place helped. Everything you need where it comes to food, gas, shopping is within walking distance. One drawback is the WiFi could use improvement. That may be more if contract issue but I used my phone service instead with gave me a better signal. Overall thank you and I will return. I live near the area but it felt like I traveled from another state on vacation. Thank you guys and special thanks to the lady who took care of me at the front desk. She was charming, accommodating, kind and a true human being.
Room was clean, hotel is clean, 4 star is because they dont offer queen only 2 full or 1 king. Rooms are a bit small but the are nice. Con: in order to get to hotel you have to fight the traffic for in and out burger which was completely unexceptable.
Upon arrival staff was welcoming and check in was a breeze. Entering the room it was musty smell and dry stale air. Had to turn on AC. Space of the rooms are very tight and small with all the furniture. The room seemed clean but didn’t feel clean. Had some stains on wall and carpet, bathroom sink and shower as well. Had sanitize wipes to clean and sanitize the area and object i was utilizing. One of the small towels had a dry dead bug on it. Included breakfast was a plus, had a automatic pancake maker, hot and cold food, pastry, baked goods pre-package, juices and coffee. Pool was available but jacuzzi was out of order.Parking is convenient but it’s also next to an in and out burger restaurant and on a busy day/or night the drive thru can block your path to the hotel, Which we encountered.
Not one for writing reviews, but some times the experience demands it.Very happy with our experience. The rooms were clean, and the entire motel was in great shape. The staff was very accommodating and cheerful. The hot breakfasts were outstanding! Liked it so much - I recommended that my sister and my mom use the hotel when they make a visit to Escondido this October. Previously, they have stayed at an unnamed competitor - who isnt bad, but this place is definitely better.
Great location for me, In-N-Out next door! The rooms kitchenette was nice to have and breakfast was good. A lot of shopping was close by. Only bad thing was hearing people walking in the room above me.
Conveniently accessed from the freeway, close proximity to known restaurants such as Starbucks and In n Out, and near to local attraction Stone Brewing. Front desk staff was friendly and courteous, room was clean, and the AC worked well. I was on a business trip and these accommodations were exactly what I needed.
Getting to the hotel was hampered by having In and Out using the same entry road so we had to use the other direction lane to get past the line of cars wanting to get burgers. Check in was easy nice helpful staff. The room was okay but less than the other rooms I’ve had at other Holiday Inns. We checked in early and the staff treated us well. Unfortunately the WiFi didn’t work and neither did the air conditioner and room wasn’t cleaned because we were staying more than one night and you needed to let them know if you wanted them to clean each day. We got back to the room in the late evening it was as like a sauna. They explained that the air conditioner needed repair and moved us to another room. Unfortunately my wife had to do all the work as I am currently having mobility problems. Overall the staff was very good, the location was sub-par, the food fair, the room below expectations. Apparently the hotel was full and they didn’t have sufficient bandwidth so our phones and computer couldn’t get online
I was not super happy with my stay. Upon checking in the desk support was amazing (dominic)He got us checked in and we went up. Once inside the room I begin my normal spray the room down with lysol and found the bed spread was nasty. I called down and he said he world send another up. While we waited my child showered. The tub felt grimy and nasty to my daughter and rust was around the drain.Once the second comforter came up. Although he said it just came out the dryer the stains were bigger than the ones I had on the original one.He did then offer me a solution, which I was greatful for.These things are small too some and big to others but Im sharing. The hotel staff was great but they got to do better as an establishment with the small things.
The stay started well with the friendly staff and their cheerful greeting. However, the staff was not prepared as is customary to reassure guests when during the night we evacuated the hotel because of a fire alarm sounding repeatedly for many minutes. The alarm was insufferable and at no time did we receive any information about the cause or if a solution was found. Blah !!! Did the Fire Department come ? Was the security company ADT called ?? How safe were we ???? How much is danger were we ????
We had a wonderful stay and 1 week family vacation in San Diego staying at this excellent, clean little hotel! The staff were just excellent— so friendly, helpful and responsive to any small problems! They were definitely child friendly! :-) I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, with or without kids because of the quality and service. Thank you for making our stay so comfortable! :-)
We enjoyed our stay at this holiday inn. The staff were all friendly and helpful. We had a problem with our TV and within 10 minutes after we called we had another TV that was working. The room was clean and neat. It was a little smaller than some, but still comfortable for us. The breakfast was good with a good variety of items. Would recommend to others..They are making some improvements in the hall way on main floor which makes it hard for the workers to do their job with people coming in and out all the time, but sure that when it is finished it will look great.
First of all, the Staff at this location have been here for years making it more like a reunion of friends catching up when you arrive. The upgrade from the reception area to business center and on to the dining and breakfast area are inviting and warm. The new furnishings in the rooms are really nice and minimalist giving more room. Upgrades on beds allows a very comfortable sleep. The bathroom upgrade is very nice with a walk-in shower and no bathtub to step into. Once the front entrance is finished the entire hotel will be enhanced from the outside in.
Positive: Staff was nice Negative: Shower hot water was very low pressure and toilet would not work properly Breakfast could be better We were in room 111 and you can hear everything outside Door both has gap and its noisy you can hear outside noise Not happy at all!!
Overall, our stay was good. The rooms need updating and we had a problem with the getting the shower to start. However, the staff was quick to respond to the problem and find a solution. The continental breakfast exceeded my expectations - especially the hot cinnamon rolls! The staff member who attended to the breakfast room, kept everything well stocked and the dining room clean as guests left. The staff was courteous and gave suggestions about the best way to visit the places we wanted to see. It was also very close to many food options. We would consider staying here again for sure.
Overall, great stay! Very comfortable pillows and bedding. Complimentary breakfast in the morning was a bonus, however we were not able to sit as all the tables/seats were taken. We understand the hotel going through improvements with remodel, which looks incredible, the doors were slammed and hope that is taken care of for future guests.
We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Big, clean rooms. Great customer service at the front desk. Best part was the breakfast. Pancakes, eggs, toast, yogurt, fruit and lots more. Plenty for the whole family to enjoy. Would stay here again.
Here’s where you need to be if you like quiet, clean, and friendly.Each time I returned to the hotel during my stay, it was like coming home…. To friendly helpful folks… smiling, engaging, and helpful. Clean rooms… not just clean, but VERY clean. Almost felt like (this) location was the MODEL for the entire chain.
This Holiday Inn Express was a nice place to stay during our week long softball tournament in San Diego. The location had several restaurant options close by. The hotel staff were cheerful and helpful. Some games were early morning before breakfast was served and a staff member let me take my daughter some fruit and a bagel even though the breakfast room had not been opened yet. When we had a chance, the breakfast was very good. I preferred the fresh scrambled eggs over the folded cheese omelets. The swimming pool and spa area was a nice gathering place for the team and families. The laundry facility worked fine. It was quiet at night around the hotel without traffic noise. The beds were quite comfortable and the room and bathroom were very clean. The only room for improvement might be the air in the room. For some reason our room felt very damp no matter what setting we used for the air conditioner. It felt like an evaporative cooler. The hallways and other rooms did not have the same damp air feeling. Overall however this is a very nice hotel. The staff were all helpful and attentive to our needs. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Escondido.
Hotel was very convenient and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful during check in. The room was a bit small with an external closet/wardrobe in the corner. Bathroom was also a bit small without much counter space. However, it was clean and comfortable overall. The biggest eye sore was the stained and dirty carpets in the hallways. This was surprising as the rest of the hotel seemed well maintained but the hall carpets were filthy.Breakfast was surprising good and well served by the staff. Also liked it when I saw night security patrolling the premises. Nice hotel overall.
This hotel was perfect for a quiet getaway! We wanted something close to the Safari Park and this was only 15 minutes away. Right by the freeway but still quiet. Close to food and shopping, if needed. The rooms were new and clean, I was happy to receive a complimentary upgrade! The staff also did an amazing job keeping up with the new health and safety protocols so I felt safe! I will definitely stay here again for our next Safari Park trip!
Previous to new construction upgrades, I would say the morning breakfast was much better. The new breakfast location was too small to handle all the guests. Food was continually running out and even trays were not all cleaned. The check in area was open and more inviting, yet it seemed like it was still out of place with fire alarm systems still being worked on.For myself, sleep quality is important and although my room was upgraded, the A/C unit was not.... it barely worked. Both units need replacing and I am sure that most of the rooms need new units as well.The button lites in the elevator were not working properly, and it seemed the elevator itself was not serviced recently.All in all I understand that post construction issues will need to be tweaked, there could have been better quality control too.
Breakfast included was AWESOME. Beds were comfy. Location was great. The only thing was that the shower did not have enough pressure and no maid service was done on the first night (stayed 2nights). Overall it was a nice hotel.
Great place! Clean hotel! Wad here for 3 weeks.
The staff was great. They provided great service from the beginning during check in until it was time to check out. Our first room was super hot since the AC wasn’t properly working. Thank God for the staff up front that moved us to a different room were the AC was actually working. Thank you to al the staff for their great service. We will definitely think of staying here again in the future!
We visited the Holiday Inn Express in Escondido and found it was a good location, right off the freeway. The hotel was not overcrowded, in the month of July, and we were able to enjoy the pool in the late afternoon and early evening all by ourselves. The breakfast bar included choices such as: pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage, hot cinnamon rolls, fresh coffee, orange juice, cold yogurt, fresh fruit, toast, cereal, and bagels. We enjoyed the breakfast and the comfortable guest room. The mattress was firm and springy, and the pillows were very soft, like down feathered pillows. Our room had a window to open, and a working air conditioning unit inside, plus a small refridgerator, and a working TV with local channels available. We also enjoyed the Wifi access while staying at the Holiday Inn. The staff were professional and helpful, and the cleaning ladies kept the room clean and the beds made each day. This hotel met our expectations and we would recommend to a friend.
Great!! Room was just how you would expect when staying at a hotel. Clean and smelled good. Staff was friendly and quick to respond to our requests for towels and extra sheets. Beds were very comfortable. Breakfast was the best perk, which included bacon, sausage, omletes, cereal, yogurt, fruit, pancakes and more. Very impressed even while the hotel is being renovated.
Tucked away, laidback, and a good bargain for the money. Easy access to food and shopping.
From the outside doesnt seem like this is a good choice...construction doesnt help and swimming pool is a sore eye.Once inside the lady at the front desk was very nice and accommodating. My reservation was as I made it. Went to our room and wow...didnt expect a suite. Remodeled, clean and convenient. Bathroom small but new. Breakfast was above the standard for these kind of properties. Overall a very nice experience and cant beat the price. Would do it again and do recommend.
The staff here is wonderful! They were very accommodating for special needs that we had. I highly recommend this hotel once the remodel is complete. The rooms were very comfortable but definitely in need of an update. The breakfast was very good! The cinnamon rolls were delicious! They need chargers for cell phones on the bedside table.
The location of the hotel was perfect for us. It was close to all of the places we needed to go. The easy access to the freeway allowed for quick travel to our selected destinations. Of course, the proximity to the freeway made sure that the ubiquitous drone of cars was heard regularly. The staff, all of them were simply fantastic. They are a cheerful group and very upbeat. The food in the AM was more than we wanted so if you dont eat, it is your loss. The only drawback was that our towels were changed every day, despite the fact we hung them up for re-use.
My family and I were initially here in 2013 and it was not a pleasant stay at that time. We were in the area and thought we would try it again in June 2019. I must say the much needed renovations are coming along. Great soft, comfortable King bed. Love the microwave and refrigerator in the room. Breakfast options need a little improvement, but not bad for free with room stay. The check in/out staff were pleasant . Would definitely return again if in the area.
We really loved our room! Gave us extra pillows and coffee! Loved getting a breakfast goodie bag in the morning! Over all had an amazing time! Gave a 4 star rating because the shower was still dirty and there were some used napkins in the trash and there some hand prints on the mirrors. Will be coming again though!
We like Holiday Inns for their consistently great service. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel itself is close to shopping and places to eat, including an In N Out in the same parking lot. There was a clean pool and spa, although we did not use it during our stay, too cold. The fitness room was small, but had nice equipment, I did not personally use it during my stay, but I did take a look. The breakfast room was spacious, clean and offered the usual breakfast items, cereal, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, cinnamon rolls, fresh coffee. We had a double, double bed room. It was only my daughter and me, so the beds were perfect, but they were not big enough for two adults to share, in my opinion. The staff was nice and very helpful when I had an issue or needed help with my luggage. Overall, exactly what we expect from Holiday Inn Express, which is why we keep going back during our travels.
We were here for the Labor Day weekend and it was a great stay we love the hotel super clean staff is very friendly and helpful. Pool was great keeping distance but it was super clean and had towels stocked. I really missed the breakfast I don’t like the bag breakfast but appreciate the snacks during this COVID time.
The front desk staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfortable. The only less-than-good experience was the breakfast. The food didnt taste great and there were no dairy-free options for my lactose-intolerant wifes coffee. However, overall it was a good place to stay, and I will likely come to this Holiday Inn Express again when Im next in the area.
Even with its proximity to a busy intersection, the hotel is very quiet inside. I found the room very comfortable in its simplistic layout and furnishings. Id recommend this hotel as a nice quiet place to stay, located very well.
This hotel is fantastic! I literally stay here for almost 1.5 Month and Love this hotel and the Staffs from the GM to theFront desk clerks and cleaning and maintenance crews: all are outstanding very helpful at their roles. The free breakfast and coffee are always great each day, and the servers are fast and friendly. Definitely love this place. Only one recommendation: Internet Signal needs to be extended and stronger for the Gym and Pool area. Will definitely stay at this hotel whenever I am in Escondido/San Marcos area.
Previous occupant had smeared greasy substance on wall. Front desk did not seem very concerned and sent a maintenance person to try to clean the room. Sink did not drain well our entire stay.No room change offered.There were objects left by prior occupant in room (i.e.: pen, pennies).I definitely did not feel treated like a Spire Elite Member.No towels at pool area. Trash cans overflowing at pool area.Street to hotel is often blocked by cars lined up for IN NOut Burger.The location for me is ideal so I hope they fix the problems because I would like to stay there in the future.
We had a wonderful stay at the Holiday Inn and Suites in Escondido for my daughters wedding. We stayed in the King Suite and were pleasantly surprised to have an entire livingroom area separate from the bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. It was great. A few of the wedding guests needed a place to freshen up before going over to the Wild Animal Park for the wedding and reception and our hotel room was very accomodating for this purpose. The hotel did not have a romance package for my daughters wedding night, but they were more than accomodating to let me in her room before they saw it and I was able to put a wedding decor to make it more festive. We slept very well on the king size bed and my husband loved the pillows. Overall, I felt the hotel cost was very affordable for the services, comfort and staff attention that we received. It was clean, staff were friendly and helpful, and the free breakfast in the morning was above average. I would recommend this hotel as we had a positive experience (I would use the suites for extra room)
Were in Escondido a ton and we just found this place. We wont stay anywhere else, now.Family friendly, free breakfast, plus its clean and up to date. Theyre resurfacing the pool now - cant wait to use it this summer. Great staff.. The lady at the front desk was wonderful.
I got two suites and drove 5 hours to not being greeted. Instead asked me if I was going to have a party in the suites. I was in Escondido for my sons tournaments and had no intentions of having a party! As I was checked in she stated and you dont have towels, we are too busy for towels and you will get them later. It was hot and to top it off our AC was broken. Both of them! Her recommendation was leaving and after a long conversation said she will give us 20% off.. we just wanted a different room. We were offered to downgrade room but at the same cost. This was a terrible stay and staff was very rude!
The double double suite was surprisingly nice and exceeded our expectations for the one night stay. Internet access was as promised. Some hotels say they have Wi-Fi but the speed is slow to nonexistent. This one was OK. Beds were very fresh and crisply made. Better than most and almost on par with boutique hotel quality. Breakfast buffet had many choices and it was possible to feed even the health conscious person with fresh fruits. It was about as good as it gets for complimentary breakfast, which I generally do not bother with. Still over all it was not the healthiest selection of food, but the average person would find it adequate. I do not choose hotels for the free breakfast so it did not matter so much to me. More important was the cleanliness and the comfort and both were more than adequate. The price was excellent on the economy scale and probably the best in its class.
Room was very nice, very comfortable pillows and mattress. Room was quiet, well stocked and clean. The breakfast bar is very nice, not much available seating, but we were able to get a tray to help carry our plates to our room. For such a small breakfast bar, they really had a good variety of choices for both hot and cold food that was fresh, tasty and they had healthy options as well. The location is great, near the freeways and several restaurants, some within walking distance.
My mother, father and I stayed at this hotel location for a week. They had a wonderful staff, great service, delicious and warm breakfast. We had come from another hotel that was ... not nice at all. We came to the Holiday Inn by chance and the people were very friendly especially Joel!!! The hotel meet and exceeded our expectations. The room was nice, comfortable and clean!! They had soft and firm pillows on the bed so you could take your pick. We felt completely relaxed that it was just like being at home ... but better - since you didnt have to cook or clean for yourself!!! I have family out there and I will always stay here when I come out to visit!!!!
The hotel was very clean and nice and cool.I was informed of all the great places around me and all of the hotels amenities. Was greeted and checked in quickly. Air in first room was not cool enough and staff had it repaired before I returned from dinner. Room was cleaned very well every day and maids seemed cheerful and welcomed me every day. There was an Asian lady working the breakfast area and she brightened my morning every day with her smile and concerns. Breakfast attendant went out of her way to make sure my meal and coffee were perfect.
From the minute I entered the property I found the Front Desk staff to be very friendly and professional. The checking in process was fast as was the checking out procedure. All of the hotel staff members were very friendly and helpful. My room was very clean and comfortable but might have benefited from a little updating of the room and bathroom.If Im ever in this area again I would choose to stay here again. There are many chain restaurants and shopping areas near the hotel which are always nice to have available.I enjoyed a very pleasant stay at this Holiday Inn Express.
Very nice room. The breakfast was really good.
I really like staying at this Holiday Inn Express because even though it is really close to the I-15 freeway, you dont hear the traffic noise from the freeway while sleeping and makes it easy to get to other parts of Escondido since its close to the 78 ramps as well. There was nothing that really deterred my family and I from wanting to stay there again, just disappointed in that we were not clearly notified of the construction and the amount of construction that would be happening there during our 6 night stay. Thankfully the hotel and construction crew never worked too early or too late during our stay and we appreciated that a lot. It was a little awkward at first but not much of hassle getting around the hotel. We were surprised though that they put us in a room at first that would not have been easily accessible after the first night we stayed there since they put up plastic sheets to hide the construction going on during the day. Thankfully we had to ask for a different room that was on the other side of the hotel away from the construction. The construction crew did do a good job of cleaning up every night so there was no unsightly mess in the hallways in the evenings. As always when weve stayed there before, service was adequate from the front office, hotel staff was friendly, and the rooms very clean. Only negative about BOTH rooms we stayed in was sometimes in order to get the TVs to work in the rooms was to reach around the TV to point the remote at the back of it in order to get the channel and volume to change. Also, the buttons to change volume and channels on the TV itself never worked properly. More of annoyance but we didnt use them that often anyway.
I have nothing but great things to say about this property! My stay was very enjoyable!!!! My room was very nice and located on the top floor over-looking the pool. When housekeeping came to clean the room they did a very good cleaning job and I was happily surprised to see that my sheets were changed every day! (at other properties we were given 1 set of sheets that were not changed for the duration of our stay) The pool and the hot tub were both very relaxing and convienantly located for our use.
I’ll stay here again. The parking lot let you know that they are not responsible for anything that happens to your vehicle so I was sure to park under a light and close to the office. The room was very clean with a nice tub. The bed was Very comfortable but the breakfast was horrible I don’t know if they have somebody new or what but it was inedible. They offered Denny’s!! Down the street. lol.
The staff were all so nice and inviting from the second we walked into the hotel. The breakfast had a wide variety of options for all dietary needs. The only issue we had was the minimal space we had in the room. The space was a little tight in the room making it a little difficult to walk around comfortably. Other than that, everything else was great.
This hotel was in the perfect location for our needs for this trip. The room was clean and neat. We slept great and the noise level was minimal. The shower head and water pressure were awesome. Couldnt find the brand name as I want one at home!! I would suggest getting some new towels as the ones we used were clean but a little rough. All in all, it was a great stay!
The Good- Great smiles and treatment from all staff. Very helpful and responsive. Great food and service during breakfast. The breakfast lady was very pleasant and ensured food was always stocked. The breakfast was better than many larger hotels. Pool, and all areas of motel were clean and well maintained, including the parking lots.The Bad and Ugly- Pull out beds are not worth paying for or using as they were in very bad shape and broken and stained. Someone had to sleep on floor. Room was very stuffy and smelled. Was unable to breath and sleep throughout night comfortably. Sheets remained wet due to humidity from not having ventilation when using the cooling unit. Tubs stained along with sheets.In the end, the ability to sleep away from home is where the real value in staying in a hotel and motel lies. So, even though the extras were good, the meat and potatoes of the business failed. Therefore, I could not recommend staying here without the sleeping conditions being updated.
The staff was very efficient and friendly, the room was comfortable, the air conditioner was a little loud but totally acceptable, the fitness room had adequate weights and other exercise machines. The only drawback is that there were no towels or disinfectants to wipe down the equipment after use.
I wasnt sure what to expect from this hotel because some of the reviews I read online about this location were not encouraging. I was greeted by very friendly staff and the check in process was very easy and quick. The decor of the room I stayed in was updated and looked fresh. The king suite I stayed in was clean and felt spacious. It even had a little kitchenette area. The bathroom was clean and the bed was very comfortable. I will definitely stay at this hotel if I am in the area again.
My room was clean and modern. I had everything I needed. Because of the low rate I wasnt expecting to feel like I was staying at a 4-star hotel, but I did feel that way! Ive already told so many people about my experience there that weekend. I had called the front desk at one point to ask if they had a vending machine because I wanted a bottle of water, but instead of just telling me where the vending machines were so I could go buy a bottle they had someone from maintenance bring two bottles of water to my door, free! They also had free wifi so I was able to do all my work in my room, they had a delicious breakfast every morning with a lot of options, and the pool was never uncomfortably crowded. Parking was easy and the area was safe and quiet. And walking distance to InnOut, Del Taco, and a gas station. Across the street was a huge shopping center. Everything was nice and convenient. The staff were friendly, attentive, and helpful the entire weekend.
Pros - decent breakfast, good air conditioner, close to where we wanted to go.Cons -1. under construction 2. We were sandwiched in a room with the new front door on one side of our room and the service door on the other - could hear every time someone went in and out both doors all day and night 3. Ants in the bathroom - not tons, but enough to feel creepy with them crawling on the walls 4. Peeling wallpaper in the bathroom - just felt dirty. 5. Dirty walls - I finally cleaned one and the washcloth was filthy b/c I did not want to look at it any longer. 6. Rock hard beds - like rock hard. 7. Kept making my kid wear his flip flops in the room b/c if he didnt, his feet got so dirty. 8. Went to and asked the front office for some more towels - it took 3 explanations that I just wanted towels - not pool towels, just more towels - please pay attention and listen! 9. Our phone indicated a message - no, no message, just the light blinks and you cant turn it off unless you unplug the phone. We stay in Holiday Inn Express b/c we have certain expectations - we felt very taken advantaged of b/c of how dirty, noisy and just icky the room was, where our room placement was, and just the fact I felt like I could have stayed some place else of equal quality for half the price. I stripped the beds a couple of times b/c I was worried about bed bugs - thats how icky we felt there. I have never written any kind of review before and sad this is my first. Thankfully we continued our vacation at a different city and that Holiday Inn Express and it was fantastic, the quality we expected. I know you renovating, but look at all the negative feedback you are getting for your current conditions...just food for thought. One can figure it is MY fault b/c I booked online for a nonrefundable room - otherwise we would have left the moment we walked into our room.
This was my first stay at the Holiday Inn and I must say I was impressed. Very clean rooms, spacious and accommodating. Love the 24hr fitness center. Stores and restaurants close by. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I do recommend a better cook, the breakfast was not cooked well. Biscuits hard as a rock, bacon over cooked. I will definetly be coming back!!!
This location was my second choice when the hotel in Carlsbad wasnt available. I paid with IHG points so the value was excellent but even if I would have used cash, this property was less than others that were closer to the coast (as you would expect). The property appeared to have been recently remodeled so it was very nice - new beds, new furniture, etc. The included breakfast was excellent as well. Although there wasnt a lot of variety, it was hot and filling. The hotel didnt seem to be a business persons destination, if that matters. During the week, the property is frequented by workers and on the weekend sports teams.
From the time we checked in until the time we checked out (6 days), the entire staff were completely professional and caring. Every time we had interactions with any of the staff they were quick to ask if we needed any assistance. The room was comfortable and so were the pillows and mattresses (which seemed hard to find nowadays). The front desk was very quick and efficient with my check in. Cudos to everyone from the front desk, housekeeping, maintenance and breakfast service. You all made my stay very comfortable.
Friendly staff made the stay very pleasant . Room was comfortable and clean and spacious.The free breakfast was good. I think in my past stays at other Holiday Inn Expresses, they have a waffle machine. This one did not; it had a pancake maker. The pancakes were good, I just prefer waffles.My GPS had a hard time directing me to this Holiday Inn Express as it is tuck in between a restaurant and another hotel. But a quick call to the front desk and they gave landmarks that got me to the hotel in a matter of minutes.
Clean rooms and friendly staff. The room was dated but surprisingly clean. We got a suite for around $140 in April. There is a pool and a hot tub outside, lots of kids during the day but quiet at night. Its close to the highway a d there are tons of places to eat close to the hotel. Biggest downside was the hallways seemed to have a smell from time to time. Nice Keurig coffee maker and good shower, also temp control in the room was good
I stay at Holiday Inn Expresses all over the country, many undergoing renovations and have always been happy with the experience and the way renovations are handled to minimize guest inconvience. NOT at this property where the guest comes last. The renovation completely took out there lobby and any air conditioning even in the hallways. Who would turn off their air in the summer in the desert? You have to ring a bell just to get into the property and the front desk has to come let you in. The front desk is a hotel room, the entire property is just 3 levels of hotel, nothing else. Lady was very nice and apologetic but you just cant put a dress on a pig, it is still a pig. Parking is terrible due to construction storage units everywhere. The fast food restraunt drive through backs up the drive way and there are homeless everywhere. At least they give you a sign that you are parking at your own risk. They obviously no the area is unsafe.
Good breakfast, fast internet, friendly customer service, super comfy beds and pillows, clean and equipped rooms and bathrooms. Nice room. Quiet. No tv channels in the bedroom. Couldn’t get in the temporary front lobby door because it was locked since they are under construction, which didn’t leave a good first impression. Privacy was thin.Parking was convenient enough. There are less expensive options in the area for better value. I feel they should lower their prices during the transitional construction phase.
We were in town for a wedding Beds were comfortable. Unfortunately the showers were cold. There was a leak by the fridge instead of taking care of it. We were given towels to manage it, was told maybe we had left fridge door open. By morning the leak had become a flood right out the door luckily no belongings were ruined by it. Before you visit maybe check to make sure issues have been resolved
Everything was wonderful enjoyed myself immensely. I went and seen so many different sites throughout the area went to swim in the wonderful ocean. Had a great time visiting with my family but it was nice to be able to come back to a hotel and not have to sleep on somebodys couch or share somebody elses bathroom. Holiday inn Express has the best rooms at the best value and the staff is always so courteous and helpful. Thank you very much
We got two rooms because we are a large family and my God the beds and pillows are amazing! Both of our rooms were clean and the breakfast in the morning was good. Loved the friendly staff here, would definitely stay again. Great amenities as well.
As of January 2018, this hie undergoing remodel so be aware: lobby is not open, small elevator in use, front desk located in guest room, pool closed.Great location, just off freeway...but you can hear road noise at night. A lot of retail and food choices within walking distance. Ample free parking. Very clean rooms. Bedding and pillows very fresh and comfy but beds are too firm. Very nice staff. Great breakfast bar with a lot of choices, including some warm egg, bacon, sausage sides.
The hotel was really clean and the amenities was great. The receptionist that greeted us was really nice and accommodating. The room was clean and bed was comfortable. The hot breakfast buffet was a good plus and the staff keeps refilling the food for the guests. Plenty of variety to chose from. We had a great stay.
The hotel is a little hard to find if you are not familiar with the area. Its tucked away behind another hotel and several fast food places. The receptionist was very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean. The bathroom was a little dated, but functional. I did not use the fitness room or the pool. The hotel was surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to highway 15. They provide a nice breakfast every day. Overall, a very nice place to stay at a reasonable price.
This hotel only has double (full) beds, which is hard to believe. The room itself was too small for four people. The kids liked the pool and the breakfast was good.
Parts were updated, but others not.Lobby under construction.Room A/C is really old and needs to be replaced. Did not hold temperature well.Shower tile not very clean - lots of cracks and mildew forming. Some times had serious soap scum. Cleaning crew needs to do a much better job.Front desk service is good - and I got upgraded to a suite, which, honestly, I did not need. I was along, staying ONE night. But thanks!Service crew needs some training - had my hands full and dropped my jackets just as a service person walked by - instead of lending a hand, she sidestepped around me.Check out was not as smooth as it should have been. Tried mobile checkout and could not. Something about the server being unavailable at the moment. That needs to be fixed.
We stayed at this hotel for a stay and play soccer tournament. I was pleasantly surprised at the courtesy, friendliness and cleanliness of the hotel. It was well kept and had functional, affordable laundry facilities which we used. Randy at the front desk was especially accommodating. Even the security guard pitched in to help when needed. Every staff member we encountered was helpful. There was even a welcome goodie bag for each of family on the soccer team!
The hotel was under construction, which make certain things understandable, but not all. Complimentary breakfast was offered, but everyone had to go to a small conference room the size of a hotel suite to get it. This meant lots of people crammed in a tiny space. Some guests took their breakfast to their rooms. We got a suite and had planned for the kids to stay on the pull-out bed that the sofa had. When we pulled it out, it had a big, dark stain. Pretty gross. Again, some things are understandable, but not a lack of cleanliness.
A good location to stay if you plan to go to the Safari zoo. Good breakfast compared with cold to-go breakfast during quarantine. The staff was nice. The room was clean. The only disappointment would be the tiny elevator.
A musty odor was present in the room upon arrival at midnight of first night. The room was not well ventilated and therefore mold was an issue. Asked to change rooms and was not offered another room by the day manager. It was stated that the bathroom fans were suitable but maintenance did not come by to check. We cut off a seven night stay at 3 nights and moved to another property. Very disappointed.
The refurbishment of the rooms seems to be a success.The Staff is always friendly and helpfufl!The to-go breakfast (even reduced for COVID-19 limitations) was adequate and tasty ... including Jimmy Deans sandwiches.Very comfortable bedding.Thankfully, Guest Room outer doors dont slam too loudly.Notes/Suggestions on choosing a room:Room #333 abuts the stairwell [door slams] and is at the far end of the hotel. This attracts LATE NIGHT smoker-escapes, visitors, and noise. Room #301 faces the pool and is just inside [non-slamming] double doors, closest to the front of the Hotel. However, it is adjacent to the Storage room and Housekeeping sometimes sounds like a bull in a China shop! whilst stocking or removing equipment. Twice a day or so when extracting the carts, or on days they restock the room, loud banging can be heard against the living room wall (i.e. do not plan on resting on the sofa couch/sleeper). (Suggestion: Install auto-door openers to reduce need to push carts against the doors to open, also install barriers to prevent slamming items against the wall. Post reminders in the room to be more cognizant of guests in the next room.) Also, consider when cleaning #201 or the Maintenance Room [both on 2nd floor, below], ... there is so much banging it can be felt respectively ... UPSTAIRS, in #301! There is a crack at top of rooms #301 and #302 (building settling?) This, however, allows hall noise in. You can also CLEARLY hear conversations from the room across the hall in Room #302 (as their door has the same crack). Room windows (at least in #301, above the Pool) are sliding but do NOT open.Rm #318 is mid-hotel [also a Suite] but faces the canal [beeping trucks might be heard at times]. Room #315 is Standard King TOWER [larger room, not Suite?] facing poolside.In some rooms, the mini-fridge is against the wall, and (depending on the layout) the door opens from the inconvenient side (against a wall). Also, there were NO BEDROOM DOORS in my King Suites.For longer stays, Id AVOID Rooms #201 and #301 as they abut the storage, maintenance, and laundry areas.I also noted a sensitivity to the fabrics, air quality, or detergents used ... daily itches in all rooms.As always, I suggest to Housekeeping that they NOT allow the door to slam repetitively against the doors security bar whilst performing services... some guests might be day-sleepers and the noise can be disconcerting.
This is a lower end Holiday Inn Express but the staff were all nice and welcoming. Hot water in the shower didnt work but it seems they were having problems with it as the hot tub was also broken. Grab and go breakfast worked as it was still hot. Felt everything was clean.
PROS. great breakfast, comfy bed, great pillows, you can see your car from most rooms, rooms get nice and cold. CONS. Sketchy check in area, anyone can just walk into the hotel, breakfast seating was horrible, one of the lamps in our room wasn’t working and I read on another review that that happens frequently. Overall this is a decent hotel, but you can definitely find another hotel for a cheaper rate that has the same things. Nothing to special. The main reason that we picked this hotel was because of the fireplace showed on the pictures, and there was no fireplace to sit and have a drink by when we arrived. That was at a different location, so I was pretty annoyed.
Beds comfortable. Breakfast is good with lots of variety. Staff is friendly and helpful. Suite is excellent value. Large TVs made the kids day. Hallway was stinky with large stains on carpet. Had to ask for towels to match the number of people in the room. They never had wash clothes. Easy access to highway and close to stores for needed items.
We have stayed several times at this Holiday Inn. The staff are the best part of the hotel - very kind and helpful. - especially Vonne (Van?) at the front desk and the breakfast supervisor. They both went out of their way for us. The King Suite was especially great for our family of four. The pool is always a good place for our kids. A few things would greatly enhance the facility. The hallway carpets look very shabby - stained and worn. I hope they are on a short list for upgrading. They make the hotel seem much more run down than it is. And, most rooms for some reason only have coolers instead of functional fridges. Another timely upgrade! It was not labeled as such in the room, only on my receipt, and all my food went bad. :( Also, some noise abatement between rooms would be good - I can always tell when the neighbors are in the shower, and our door slammed really loudly every time we exited. And - I realize this is standard Holiday Inn fare, but...could we please get a few whole grains on the breakfast menu? And perhaps...I know, Im dreaming here...but coffee that actually isnt watery brown stuff? BUT, all that said, glad to stay there.
Our experience was excellent! From the very beginning (the booking process) until we checked out WE can not express enough how comfortable we were, the staff is wonderful, Maylou, Michaela and Randy... the emenities were perfect for our stay. Do yourself a favor and stay there, go 5 miles to downtown for great shops, restaraunt and bars. Also in the same parking lot as the hotel, you have several fast food/dining options such as Cocos, Del Taco, In N Out, AND right across is the street is a Target in case u need anything! We will return!
We were very happy with our stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites San Diego - Escondido. The rooms were clean and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Our suite had a little kitchenette with sink, small refrigerator and microwave. Breakfast buffet was tasty and the pancake machine was new and surprising to us. Tried the pancakes the second morning and they were very good. For other meals, there were great food options within walking distance. Easy freeway access. Shopping Center across the street.
Stayed a week and a half at this tired property due to relocation. Changed rooms three times because of foul odors and broken a/c units. Had bad respiratory issues for several days because of terrible air being pumped into first room by faulty a/c unit. Very dated and shabby rooms, especially carpeting. Manager made us feel like she was doing us a big favor by switching us out of first room and then giving us a $10 credit! Yuck!!!
We were in Poway for a family get together. This hotel was not cheap but less than many closer to San Diego. People were friendly, property was clear. Dont let the parking lot / alleyway entrance keep you away, it feels safe and comfortable. Lots of retail and food options close by.
Staff is super friendly and helpful but that does not make up for the dated decor. You can tell they are trying, keeping things clean and touched up but the place needs a renovation. Breakfast is almost non-existent, microwave pancakes and burritos like from a gas station, really a let down. That said its probably the nicest place in downtown Escondido. I gave it two stars over one because of the helpful staff and the in and out Burger located directly next door.
I booked this location due to activities in Escondido for the weekend. I was a bit concerned that being so close to the 15 it would be noisy, but the room (which faced the freeway) was VERY quiet. Pleasantly surprised. The King Suite was quite roomy and comfortable. The hotel is undergoing renovation, but after about 5pm I could hear no construction noise and aside from relocation of the lobby & breakfast room and a few barriers it was not an inconvenience at all. Clerks & breakfast room attendant were all very nice & accommodating. There is a Target & various restaurants and shops very near the hotel & easy to get into Escondido or any place via the 15 from here.
This is an old and outdated hotel that needs a complete remodel. The staff was very nice, but that is the only positive thing I can say. The rooms are small, furnishings are falling apart. The desk chair had the vinyl peeling off. The sheets were old and paper thin. The pillows were lumps of foam. I havent stayed at this chain in awhile, but always liked the breakfasts in the past. This was a big step below what Ive had in the past. Nothing hot (even coffee was lukewarm). No good protein source the first day, but cold boiled eggs did show up the rest of our stay. The hot tub wasnt even very hot. And the price we paid was crazy for this kind of run down facility.
Although not perfect, this hotel’s staff and its’ cleanliness (for the most part) far exceed other hotels in the surrounding area. One drawback is the In N Out Burger drive through traffic which blocks easy access to hotel. Need to drive around it.
I travel weekly from Texas to California and generally stay in Holiday Inn Express hotels up and down the coast of CA. The staff upgraded my room to a suite with separate LR and Kintchenette. Very nice to have when you spend some much time on the road! Gym was nice. Room clean. So convenient to have microwave and fridge in the room. Very quiet. Did not eat breakfast since I was able to stock my mini fridge and eat my Greek yogurt and gluten free oatmeal in the room. Staff very nice. Will stay on my next business trip here.
The service was very good. The room smelled musty (smoked in) and that was a major issue for us. It was late and we were tired or else we would have asked for another room. HIs are usually well kept and this was an older property so some attention to airing out the smells would be good. ☮
This hotel is undergoing a significant remodel. I was not aware when I booked it and would have stayed elsewhere had I known. Not because of noise or dust, but for the disrupted process of being buzzed in to be checked in. This hotel is easy to see from the freeway, buy not from the roadway. I circled it before finally understanding you enter via a fast food parking lot (Carl Jrs?). Once inside the greeting and process was friendly and efficient. Breakfast was as good as any HI Express. Elevator is tiny and missing some buttons but fast and efficient. I asked and was moved from a 3rd floor room facing I-15. I would not stay in that room due to road noise.I may try staying here again once the remodel is complete.
Room was clean and ready, we had a water leak from the floor above us, so any time we used the restroom we would have water drip on us. The staff said it’s probably from the remodel they just did. No offer to discount the room or move us. The breakfast was great and they were always stocked up. It was let the nicest area and the parking lot was always full of people so it wasn’t quiet.
We stayed at this Hotel a year ago and then Jan 22 2015 the room was clean, the staff very nice and friendly. Breakfast was very good and hot. I would stay here again and if you are looking for a nice place to stay this would the Hotel. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The only draw back was there is NO safe in the room. Bed was great and sleep well. Coffee was always made and hot by the front desk.
Our stay was short as we stayed for one night and arrived later than our check-in time. The only drawback is that we encountered a communication issue in the fact that the rooms all have king size beds and only accommodate 2 adults, unless you have a small child under 2 (would be my guess). Standard rooms do not have a sofa bed and that information was not disclosed to us from the lodging site (Nov Nights) provided to us. We were there for a soccer showcase event, so we were not able to enjoy the other facilities. The pool is small but looked inviting, so maybe another time. Staff is very attentive and the overall hotel size is small, so that actually makes it cozy. If it were a bigger high rise, I wouldnt have felt comfortable allowing my daughter to roam around freely with her other teammates. We found it conveniently located right off the freeway and within walking distance of a shopping mall and eateries. It has more pluses than minuses.
I have always enjoyed everything about Holiday Inn and Escondido has kept up the tradition. We checked in late but still found a personable and helpful desk clerk. The free breakfast and WIFI is always appreciated. We found several restaurants and coffee houses within easy walking distance from the hotel. 100 yards or less. Able to hop onto I-15 very quickly. I had absolutely no road noise on my side of the hotel. Nice bright bathroom. A problem arose with the reservation on-line and probably not the specific hotels fault. When I reserved the room a month in advance through Holiday Inns website, I was immediately charged on my Credit card. I was told that I had purchased a non-refundable room. Very strange. Luckily my plans did not change. I was also told that this was because it was a reduced rate. This turned out to be untrue because our traveling companions identical room was cheaper by just walking in with no advance reservation. I have no less than 80 hotel stays per year and have never encountered this. Hopefully not a trend here.
After searching and reviewing other hotels in area. I knew that I could not go wrong with choosing Holiday Inn. Im comfortable in saying most of my experience has been great. At Holiday Inn Escondido the staff was very friendly. They acknowledged my birthday and made sure all my needs were met. Most important the rooms and bathrooms were very clean and updated. The beds were also very comy, which made my stay very comfortable.
The house keeping staff was wonderful. I was traveling with 4 people over the age of 70. The staff was very helpful. Had a suite that allowed me to listen if my help was needed while being able to have some of my own space. Nicely done. Would recc more nutritious selections at breakfast. Gravy is a problem for older people. Brown sugar for oatmeal would be good.
Overall the hotel, suite, and staff were very nice. Upon check in make sure to ask which floors have the ice makers so you dont get stuck going up and down the stairs each time you want ice. The king suite was comfortable but it lacked a small fridge in the kitchen which was missed. Overall a nice place to stay to see the Safari Park.
Unfortunately, pull out bed was broken in both rooms reserved. Not only were the springs sticking out, but the bed part at feet was unattached and ripped. This rendered the bed unusable. Parties in both rooms had to sleep on floor. I paid for an extra bed for nothing for two days. Sheets and all contents in room felt wet due to humidity build up from cooler and lack of ventilation. Mildew and foul smell was observed every time room was entered. Unable to sleep during stay comfortably due to no fresh air in room and humidity and clammy feeling in room. Felt restless during getaway functions. On the other hand, inside and out was very clean. Pool area was well kept. Food was great along with service from food worker. Great cleaning staff. Greeting, attention and responses from all staff was quick, efficient and polite. Could not recommend though on account of room conditions.
We love this location for its close proximity to the Wild Animal Park. We can spend the day there, check into the hotel, grab a great In & Out burger, (theyre next door) & relax in our nice, clean, comfy room. In the morning, we can get a quick breakfast before hitting the road. The only downside to this last trip, was being informed that they did not have their famous cinnamon rolls on the weekend ????? They need to seriously re-think that! The clerk at the desk is always friendly, & the rooms are roomy, with a nice chair, & 4 fat pillows on the bed. The bathroom sparkles, & the towels are soft. Bring back the weekend cinnamon rolls, & itll be perfect!
The breakfast attendant refused to put out more food even though it was only 0900. Coffee was empty, hot water was empty, no creamers, no eggs, no sausage gravy or biscuits and pancake machine was out of batter. All the tables in the dining area were dirty, all the trash cans were full. She basically did nothing but exactly at 0930 she closed the door. Had to go to front desk just to get more coffee, unacceptable for the IHG brand.
So far one of the best ones I stayed in great service and clean
My husband and I for the last 5 years or so come down to Escondido for a yearly seminar. We never question where we are going to stay. This hotel is where we love to go. Its quiet, very comfortable and the staff make every effort to make sure you are comfortable. Food for breakfast most impressive as we travel a bit, it was always stocked and replenished with food! We always seem to say,next year we need to stay an extra day. You wont be disappointed.
Was getting sick and tired of the quarantine my family was mandated to do! I decided to book a room at a local hotel....needed a change of scenery for the kids and my husband! With unemployment benefits being a measly $167 a week I needed a nice hotel that I could afford on my budget! Room was book online with an express option on a Friday! Check in was a breeze, cost was fair, clean rooms.... the only downside to this stay was the fact that there was no breakfast option. I usually chose holiday inn’s because of their buffet style breakfast option that feeds my family and gives many options to choose from....with social distancing being mandated and all forms of buffet style eateries being shut down I understand why the breakfast rooms have been shut down but it would be nice to have an alternative option to make up for that ! For instance, a “Grab and Go” breakfast bag like other hotels are doing.
The Front Desk service was excellent. Only had breakfast there one morning - it was horrible: the ;omelets and sausage were cold and did not taste good ; the cinnamon rolls and coffee were good. If any HIE offers omelets for breakfast we will not eat there. The hair dryer in the bathroom would only stay on if you held the button. The bathroom was VERY small.Dont know if wed consider this hotel a 2nd time..........
It was great to have a bed similar to your bed at home with great pillows! A choice of firm or soft and they were labeled so you knew which one to pick. You could set the temperature of the room and it would stay comfortable with little noise from the unit. Great selection of snacks at the front desk.
We had 2 suites for our stay of 2 nights.After checking in -one of our rooms had a horrible moldy smell. After airing for a couple of hours it was still uninhabitable. We asked for a new room and were told we will see if we have one. We were given another room and it smelled- although not quite as bad. As we had been planning this trip with our grandchildren for 6 months we persevered. We did take a photo of the second room. (the first room was worse) All around the windows and all the windows were moldy. The icing on the cake was- the jacuzzi was broken.
This hotel is in a prime area near the ocean. Its just out dated and needs TLC. The shower was horrible with broken floor panel, hard to close shower doors. Rusty mirrors, light fixtures, fire sprinklers were all rusty. I feel this Hotel is in a very affluent area near the ocean great for vacationers.As a Gold Elite Member I know Holiday Inn standards are much higher than this. I was so shocked to see a Holiday Inn in this area look so run down.
Overall, a pleasant stay. I stayed there for two nights (Nov 30-Dec1). My room was clean (stayed in a suite - Room 210). The hotel itself is a little weathered. It is in need of a renovation to keep up wit the other Holiday Inn Express hotels I have stayed at recently. Hopefully they will update it soon. The breakfast room was small, but you can sit comfortably in the lobby and eat your breakfast as well. There seemed to be a lot of construction workers staying there the first night I was there. Probably working on local construction projects. It wasnt a problem, just a few large trucks made parking a little more challenging in some areas. Again, it was a nice stay for business.
The check in staff Zan was very nice and helpful. However it can’t cover the shortage of this hotel.Half of the hotel is under construction, no lobby, no dining room. All the equipment and decorations are super old. The room we stayed smell like urine. Eventually we figure out it’s the carpet near the restroom area. We unpacked all of our luggage, — what can we do...
The hotel is remodeling but has signs and information all over about it and is doing well to make up for the inconveniences that remodeling tends to bring. I was upgraded to a suite because of my platinum status and the room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. The pool and hot tub were both outside so not so good in the rain but there was a great full hot breakfast and the stay was very enjoyable.
Hotel is right off the 15, so very convenient location. Building is old and in need of a refresh. Stayed in a remodeled room, but things were overlooked: no bottom track for the closet doors, so very difficult to open and close; hole in ceiling near closet, tiny bathroom (we were in a suite), interior doors were dirty. Very underwhelming and poor value for the room. Breakfast was better than expected with multiple hot items, Cinnabon cinnamon rolls, a pancake machine, etc. Service at check in (late at night) was friendly and competent.
Not a bad stay. I came here to stay the night before my wedding day in Valley Center. The breakfast was decent, and the hotel interior is pretty modern. The elevator wasnt in the best shape, and quite small. The pool and gym we did not use. The air con was good but I wish the beds were queen sized! As they said it would be... but it was a FULL. Having 4 people in a room like that isnt the most comfortable.
I was here for a meeting nearby, and this location was great. The staff were friendly upon check-in and throughout the stay. Room was decently sized and comfortable. The breakfast is the best part! I picked this location solely on the option of breakfast as I had to leave early in the morning and didnt want to spend time looking for a place to eat. Breakfast options are endless (eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, bagels, cereal, etc). Its no 5 star restaurant but its good. Definitely recommend.
The good- clean room and grounds, good location, ample parking, very secure, Randy was great.The bad- they advertise a hot breakfast. They deliver a cold stale danish in a bag because they are too lazy to make breakfast (this is what my wife heard). If I knew it was a bate and switch I would have tried a different hotel.
My husband and I spent several nights in Escondido because our vehicle had broken down and required a new engine. The front desk staff went out of their way to accommodate us and were extremely helpful. On two occasions I needed some help from Steve, who worked in the evenings, and he was very prompt to make sure my questions were dealt with. Breakfast was great too and the staff were prompt to keep things stocked up. The coffee set up in the main entrance is a great idea. I speak some Spanish and always got a friendly hola from the cleaning ladies. The location was good for us as several restaurants are within walking distance plus getting to the Safari Park was an easy drive.
Have stayed here on several occasions. Room relatively quiet, even though the property adjacent to the freeway and the window open a crack. Bed very comfortable, A/C quiet and efficient. Spacious, clean room and bathroom. Wi-Fi satisfactory for my needs. Liked the complimentary breakfast. Fitness room equipment adequate and, especially important, functional. Staff finally got around to fixing/replacing the fly machine. Staff always friendly and helpful.
We stayed 5 nights at the Holiday Inn Express and were very pleased from the moment we checked in. The staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. Our room was ready at check in and we found it to be very clean and neat. The breakfast was also very good - choice of hot or cold foods as well as coffee and tea (both in rooms and breakfast room). Noticed throughout our visit staff cleaning both inside and outside.We have already recommended it to friends.
Our room was quick and easy to book. Arrival and check in was easy. The front desk staff person was friendly and knowledgable. Our room was clean and roomy. The air conditioner worked well and was easy to operate. Our check out couldnt have been easier.
Excellent features1. Newly remodeled room. Very clean and nice2. Good location with many choices of restaurants nearby.Need to improve1. Points incorrectly credited to my IHG account. I booked the package with 10K bonus points. Yet 10K points were not credited. Furthermore, the hotel charged me the rate with the bonus point (which is higher than the rate without the bonus points) to my credit card. This was resolved later on.2. Base points incorrectly calculated and incorrectly credited to my IHG account. Hotel has corrected after I brought up this issue. But I expect 100% accuracy in billing and in point credit to IHG account for all guests. I think this should be an automated process by the computer. Where did it go wrong?3. Hotel was in the midst of remodeling during my stay. So there was no elevator service and some construction work was evident in the hallway. That was ok and understandable. However, the ice machine was not working on the 3rd floor. I brought the ice bucket to the front desk and asked them to help get some ice for me. I waited for almost 30 minutes to get the ice. I think they went outside to buy some ice. But why would that take 30 minutes as there is a convenient store right outside the hotel? I was waiting to get the ice in order to cool my drink off quickly.
I had a great night at this hotel. The check-in staff was very pleasant. She offered me an upgrade due to being a platinum member. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were nice and clean.
Okay for price but Hotel is older and outdated. Elevator small. Can’t park due to all the cars from in and out burger. No extra coffee in room had to go get it everyday from desk was there a week. Frig broken door didn’t want to shut or open and old. Otherwise staff was nice and was okay for a place to rest. No hot foods was bad.
Good rules for covid for a safe experience. Service was limited because of covid so didnt get daily room services. They would do service when requested . The breakfast service was narrow so many things missing due to vivid. Spent 5 days and was overall satisfied. The room was small but had everything we needed.
I had been at Escondido rein faire and was tired and ready to rest. The bed was amazing, the air conditioning worked well. I got my wake up call when I wanted it. And had a great breakfast before I went back for my second day at faire. I fully intend to stay again when its time for spring faire. Great staff at the front desk, made check in and out very easy. Would recommend for anyone to stay.
Decent hotel. Pretty much a run of the mill Holiday Inn Express. A clean and comfortable room. I like the location because if you dont mind a little bit of a walk, you can walk to Stone Brewing (granted not the best brewery in the area, but well worth it if you have never been; the walk is about 40 minutes from the hotel). There is also an In-n-Out in the same parking lot as the hotel. That certainly doesnt hurt for some late night tasty burgers.
The hotel was great. I took my family of six to this hotel. From the time of check-in to check-out we had a good time. The grounds were well maintained, the pool area was cleaned the breakfast was decent. I had trouble working the working the pancake machine but the nice staff assisted me with getting it to working. In all I will most definitely be back w/my wife and with the kids.
The checkin experience was probably the best Ive ever had at a HIE. Super friendly, helpful, and seemed ready to do just about anything to make our stay better.Only complaint about the room was lack of water pressure in the shower. But, this is reality in Southern California, and we accept that.Breakfast was horrible. But with COVID, I guess theyve figured the grab-bag concept works best, since many HIE locations have adopted it.
Beware, this property is right next to the freeway so noise may be an issue. The windows are thick and with the AC running, its not too bad. It shares the same lot as another hotel, In N Out Burger, and Del Taco, so the lot gets REALLY full with a lot of traffic. The hotel is undergoing renovation, which we were not told about upfront, so it was not ideal. Room was not very clean.

2023-09-09 23:59:59We had a great experience during our stay at this hotel. Everything went well right from check-in to check-out. I was on a family vacation and they all liked it too. The hotel room was very clean and exactly as per my choice and profile the room was allocated. overall it was a very smooth stay without any issues as even we checked in late in the night. It was totally safe and super.

2023-10-06 23:59:59The hotel front desk is so personable. Cleaning staff doesnt know how to use indoor voices or how to not slam doors. Easy on, easy off freeway location. Several places to eat within walking distance. Also shopping right across they way ....in case you forgot something.

2023-10-27 23:59:59This was my second stay at the Escondido, CA location. The room was small, but enough for myself. Quiet and comfortable. I had to leave early on both days, just like my previous stay, so I did not see the breakfast offered.Elevator seems quite noisy and made me a bit uncomfortable. Overall this property seemed a good value for what I wanted. I will stay there again when I am needed for business.

2023-07-24 21:58:52Overall, an excellent experience. We had already booked, but came in much earlier than anticipated. The gentleman was nice enough to accommodate us. He gave us a warm welcome. The room was very clean, cool, and spacious. The kitchenett was nice. EVERYTHING was clean!! The housekeeping staff do auch a wonderful job.I saw the reviews on here about the thin walls and noise, so we set the ac to run the fan low so it would be continuous and drown out all the noise so we could sleep after breakfast.... which we did until mid afternoon!! NOTHING disturbed us, nor woke us up until our alarms went off.When we left to try out Farmers Boys for dinner, we were unable to access the back entrance when we returned as our keys wouldnt open the door. We were told by the nice lady at the desk why and she immediately fixed it for us.Breakfast was very good! Everything was hot and fresh. The nice lady was friendly and worked constantly to make sure everything was clean and filled. She is a great worker, along with the other wonderful staff. They are definitely an asset to HIE.There is an In-And-Out Burger that had long drive through lines; however, there is a lane that helped us maneuver quickly in and out of the parking lot.Would definitely stay here again.

2023-08-03 05:04:55We stayed at this location for almost a week. We were staying in Escondido to visit family.Pros:- great breakfast- staff are friendly- room is clean- close to a lot of stores and food options, plus the highway is easily accessible- having the fridge, microwave, free parking and NO resort fee for once was nice!The biggest con is I’m not sure if we just hit a bad time to stay here or if this is the normal “traffic” through this hotel but other guests are very disrespectful in the early morning and late at night. People were yelling in hallways at 6-7am, partying at 1-2am and the biggest issue we had is for Friday/Saturday night the people above us sounded like they were jumping off the walls and onto the floor. We had to call THREE almost 4 times before the front desk even called the room? They sent security up but security apparently just stood there to “see if there was noise” the banging was so bad the mirror on the wall was shaking. Also the pricing for this hotel is a bit extreme for what you get. I mean I get it if I was in downtown Los Angeles but, basically $300 a night for an average 2 star hotel in kinda the middle of no where is a bit pricy. Lastly, if the pool “area” closes at 10pm guests shouldn’t be allowed to stay out there drinking and partying in my eyes.Overall we are satisfied with our stay here and if we ever do come back I probably would stay here again as it was actually the best rated hotel in Escondido lol!

2023-09-05 23:59:59Property had easy access to freeway with shopping nearby. Staff was efficient and friendly, encouraging us to join IHG if we did not have a membership in order to get the benefits from membership. The brochures near the elevator were helpful to inform visitors of nearby attractions. Taking the stairs was generally faster than using the elevator.

2023-10-21 23:59:59Clean quiet room and comfortable bed. Thank you to the friendly front desk people for making our stay wonderful and relaxing. I highly recommend this hotel and would absolutely stay again if Im in the area.

2023-07-13 23:59:59Hotel sits at a great location surrounding by In-N-Out, Raising Canes and DelTaco. There are two shopping plazas across streets. It is very convenient. Hotel room and bathroom are clean. Hotel staff at front desk are very courteous and friendly. This is our second stay at this hotel. We will certainly book the same hotel when we come to Escondido next time.

2023-07-12 23:59:59The continental breakfast was a good start to the day. The protein option changed everyday. When checking in I was given an upgrade to a suite. The suite was very spacious and I was able to spread out. The bed was comfortable and allowed me to get rest.
