Nice, clean, very nice management; parking is a bit of an issue if you come back to your room late. There are not enough parking spaces for all the guests if the motel is full.
I got a great deal and the room was very clean, only complaints would be that the AC unit is a bit loud and my room was at the front of the hotel and heard a bit of the road noise at night.

Liked: Cleanliness
The place was clean which is most important to me but the property is very dated. It was worth it for the price I paid but it is very basic and all I really needed was a place to sleep on my way back home.
The hotel was actually above my expectations, and I was very pleased with the accommodations

The staff was very polite and professional.The parking was very convenient to the room. Room was clean and comfortable with microwave, small reftig and TV.
I didn't like that handicap access to the rooms. There were ramps at the ends of the row of rooms but the ramps were very steep and slippery.
Fantastic find in Escondido. I was looking for a reasonably priced room for a concert close by and found this motel. I am so glad I did. It was clean, safe and affordable - and the staff were super friendly and helpful. I would absolutely stay again. It exceeded my expectations for sure.
Great location and friendly person at the front desk. Dirty room: hair on the pillows, I think they only sweep or vacuum the floors because they were filthy when a damp paper towel was used to clean up a spill, smelled like mold in the bathroom, bed was very firm, A/C unit was extremely loud and the fan never shut off, shutters didn’t close all the way, solicited by knocks on the door, and the towels should be donated to a local car wash.
The rooms are very clean and recently updated. It was a comfortable stay. It is street side so there is some traffic noise which is to be expected. The pool could be updated and patio furniture cleaned of cobwebs. But it’s a motel so for the price it’s perfectly fine. It’s close to restaurants and businesses so the location is great for that. We will return in the future so we can visit with family in the area.
10/10. Very comfortable king bed and linens. Spotless room and bathroom, which were nicely renovated -- you can tell the contractors took care in doing a professional job. Very quiet and safe neighborhood at night. Very friendly front desk staff. I'm so glad I found this "gem" -- one of the best motels I've ever visited. I'll definitely return here when I'm visiting San Diego again -- well worth the extra driving.
