I was a little nervous staying here after reading the other reviews, but it wasn't so bad. We stayed in a suite, with a queen bedroom and a double bed and hide-a-bed in the living room, so six of us stayed there. The towels were thin and cheap and the room not as clean as I would have liked, especially... more

This is, without a doubt, the very worst hotel/motel I have stayed in in many years. Maybe the 'manager' desk clerk leaning against the front door and smoking a cigarette when I drove up should have had me asking to have my internet reservation released. Very freindly, but this place is a wretched dive. And at $107 (AAA rate) plus... more

Time has not been kind to this motel. The staff was nice and it was freeway close. I was in town to visit relatives. I checked out after one night of my intended three night stay, as the beds were old and uncomfortable, the carpets throughout the place were very dirty, and the motel smelled like smoke. I was not... more

I read advertising that this was a very nice recently remodeled motel. The front was very nice as well as the lobby. We checked in at night, and the initial impression was good. When we went further into the hotel it was very different, very old building that had a new lobby / facade pasted onto the front. Redecoration was... more

Just returned from a two day stay at this hotel. Compared to other places near the WIld Animal Park (our reason for the visit), the Best Western was the best deal. We did not encounter any issues with bad smells or general dirtiness. At closer inspection, there were some hints of shabbiness; scuffs of walls, misaligned safety hook on the... more

Stayed here last week thankfully for one night only, with my husband, 20 year old son and 12 year old daughter. The room overlooking the trailer park was badly in need of renovation and redecoration and smelled really bad. Bits of wallpaper stuck all over the walls like sticking plasters to cover up previous damage to wallpaper! Both the pull-out... more

Stayed at the best western Escondido for three nights in March, 2005. Overall, a nice place. Found good rates at the best western website. Initially got a room that was nice and clean, but overlooked the trailer park. Felt like changing it for privacy sake. Front desk staff person was very accommodating in making the change. Hotel has great overall... more

I stayed one night on March 15, before a visit to the Animal Park. Very disappointed with the hotel. There were terrible smells everywhere, the elevator, the halls and the room. Toilet in the room barely flushed. Would not stay there again. more

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights in April 2004. This is a bit more "upscale" than many Best Western hotels and looks like it is fairly new. Very nice landscaping & pool, with clean and comfortable rooms. Towels kind of thin and scratchy though. One nice touch is guest laundry facilities on each floor. Good continental breakfast.... more
