Top Escondido Hotel Reviews

California Suites Hotel

California Suites Hotel

8/10 Good
"Second time staying here , this time around check in was not pleasant , we arrived at check in like at 10pm and the employee was not very welcoming, first of all he was not nice and was very impatient, i first asked where are we staying? since last time we got a really smelly room of cigarettes , his response was where? (Like i would remember the initial room) i would of said they switched us but the talk wasn't pleasant , and rushed. I also needed my plates to have on file which of course i don't know by heart but my husband was going to move our car to the handicapped spot so i told him i would get it from him , he was impatient and just said to call the front desk and give it to them . i wrote the color ,make , and model. We were tired and just wanted to check in but he made it uncomfortable. Our first time here was great which is why we went back, now i don't know if we will be back , since we come for a yearly festival this place is very convenient as it os only 15 minutes away :/"
