Property felt safe and was very clean. The only issue I had was the elevator and walkway to our room felt stuffy and hot, and the room had a mildew-like smell to it. Other than that it was a safe and clean option to stay overnight. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

I stayed for 11 days. At check in she made sure I had a room that was not facing the highway so I could have a quiet relaxing stay. The staff was always smiling and friendly. I came back late on Saturday night and noticed there was security keeping the parking lot safe and felt secure in getting my belongings out of my car. Housekeeping made sure to spread my personal blanket out on the bed which made it an extra special feel.

Our stay at this hotel was truly exceptional. The staff treated us with such warmth and care, making us feel genuinely welcome and comfortable throughout our visit. It’s rare to find this kind of personal attention, and it made all the difference for us. They anticipated all our needs, especially because we traveled with an elderly person, and made sure we had everything to feel cared for and at ease. We also really appreciated the variety at breakfast and that it was included, and the jacuzzi was a wonderful extra that we truly enjoyed. A special thanks to Mark, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. We’re deeply grateful and would gladly return.

We’ve had decent luck with previous stays at Holiday Inn Expresses but this particular one was below standards. The carpet in our room was so dirty that the bottom of my socks were brown after walking around the room in them. Also, although not a huge issue, there is an In & Out Burger next door in the path of the entrance to the hotel which made it somewhat difficult to enter and exit the hotel parking lot. We probably won’t chose this hotel again if we stay in Escondido.

Location was scary and lots of sketchy people in the area and since the location has busy intersection, lots of cars and lots of shopping centers, which is always busy and loud. The bathroom had broken tile and was outdated.
