Escondido Lodge - Eskondidas

Hotel itself could use some paint and care. It's clean and good location. Restaurant/cafe steps away was convenient. The front desk "Isabel" was very polite, cheerful and helpful. Made my stay very comfortable.

I will not stay here again. They took a $125 room damage deposit on a one night stay in a king room for $65. It took 3 days for the deposit hold to release the funds on my account. When I asked about this, they told me "its a bad neighborhood here and sometimes people damage the room and then leave". So apparently they're taking out their lack of proper insurance on their legitimate guests. Which I don't understand because they couldn't place an unauthorized charge for damages to a credit card anyway. Anyone with good sense would dispute it as unauthorized and the bank would charge it back to them. So whats the point? I recommend staying at the Escondido Lodge a couple miles away instead. They don't take a deposit. But avoid the Motel 6 down the street if you want wifi. The charge for wifi there. This hotel is great and so is the staff but $125 deposit hold for 3 days just for one night. Not a good idea.

Good value for the price. Can be noisy early in the AM as lots of construction workers stay at this motel. Otherwise good value at economy prices.

Stayed in hotel for the night checked in everything was good will gladly stay their again in the future

It was a great stay - centrally located - easy to find. Very helpful front desk lady. I loved the floor without carpet but it needed mopping.
