“Sucker for punishment....Stay Here!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Out of hundreds of hotels I stay in per year, this is one of the worst!....Choice Hotels should be ashamed to have this place affiliated with them!....Horrible rooms, and killed two cockroaches crawling across the carpet there. When I spoke my mind to the counter staff, I could tell they've heard thiese same complaints over and over again...They didn't seem to care....As an FYI....there is a new Quailty Inn in Escondido (formerly Americas Best Value Inn) that I would highly recommend as an alternative!!

“Used this place several times -Needs a lot of improvements”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

This place needs a lot of upgrades
Beds are 30 years old ,has holes and who knows what in it
AC not working properly, noisy
Kitchen cabinets ugly brown smelly particle boards
Rooms painted by 5$ workers
Doors nasty dirty- it may take 10 minutes to clean, but nobody bothers BED COVERS ARE Rooms for smokers very stinky.
A few blocks away I found nice hotel - Escondido
with nice granite bath spotless for this same price.

Room Tip: walk in before renting

“DOING DRUGS OUTSIDE. MATTRESS SMELL URINE...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 November 2011

What a nightmare!!!
The nice photos on the web site r a big lie. The place is all trashy. The mattress smell urine. Every time that somebody wallks upstairs. IT MAKES A LOT OF NOISES. When we walk to the rooms, these people were doing drugs right in the front of the room. Cops nocking on the door in the middle of the night. The "breakfast" is a joke. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

Room Tip: DON'T WAIST YOUR MONEY!!! Spend just a little more and get something a lot better in someother...

“" THE WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED" OWNERS/MANAGERS NEED TO TAKE 101 ON PEOPLE SKILLS”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

I needed a room for several days until our home got cleaned up from a flood, I satyed there because it was convinent and close to my kids school and work.. rooms are in realy bad shape, it seems that they have not had any up-grades in 30 years.. that was not my main problem.. The main problem was with management/owner's they have no people skills what so eve, rude and could care less about our well being in there hotel! DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL .. YOU MAY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ... ROOMS ARE OLD AND SMELL THEY ALSO HAVE BUGS!

Room Tip: " warning ! Do not stay here! You may have bugs Crawl up your bed at night

“No good hospitality !!! Disrespecful do not stay here plus they enter rooms while guest are out! It's not to clean.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 October 2011

Very rude management and very nosy too. Opened my room door they don't respect Do Not Disturb sign. I was on business call & since they watch you through security cameras they know your inside room, they called my room phone non stop for 30 minutes then came pounding at door demanding I open door or call police. I opened door manager said i needed to answer room phone. Reported to them HK had opened my door & he didn't care. Said his HK staff has been there for long time & they have the right to open door when ever they want. I checked out immediately!!!!
