Top Escondido Hotel Reviews

La Jolla Shores Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel!"

Sonesta ES Suites San Diego - Sorrento Mesa

8/10 Good

"Overall a really good stay. Tony at the front desk was great, and the staff in general were very accommodating. Breakfast was the part I looked forward to most, and it lived up to what other reviews say. It's continental, the menu changes a little each day, and it was hearty and welcoming every morning. I had a king suite. The bed and pillows were comfortable and the room was nice. I made good use of the kitchen area, especially the fridge and cupboards. Housekeeping comes roughly every five days, but you can get fresh towels any time by asking the front desk, which was really useful. The pool and outdoor seating area are relaxing and welcoming. The location is excellent. Some people may not like the gas station next door, but I found it extremely convenient. The plaza next door has three Indian restaurants, a KFC and a Burger King, and there's an Aldi right there too. Target, In-N-Out and pretty much anything else you need are about 10 minutes away. Even with all that nearby, it's a very quiet location with no road noise. My room faced the front toward the gas station and I actually enjoyed the view. Two things worth knowing. The Wi-Fi was inconsistent. Some days it worked and some days it didn't, and it would often drop and reconnect, which makes anything that needs a steady connection difficult. Also, parking is paid and the lot gets very full by around 10 to 11 pm. By 11 there may only be a handful of spaces left, so it helps to get back earlier."
