Best Western Escondido Hotel

Elise Martinez

A place to sleep when in transit or there’s not much else available. Rooms are dingy and have a stale cigarette smell (we’ve encountered this in two separate rooms on two floors on two different stays) Furniture is dirty, bed pillows are small and lumpy, and the front desk service is inconsistent and varies from lukewarm to unfriendly. There was a loud barking dog in the room next to us, and although we requested to be moved, no effort was made and we received no further communication. Although we have the highest level of their loyalty program, and have stayed at this particular property multiple times, the “welcome bag” is never presented, and the room upgrades are nonexistent. Breakfast items run out within the first hour of service, and the pool area is rarely open on time. Wifi is terrible. The room rates fluctuate wildly, and anything over $140 really just isn’t worth it.

I wanted to love the Best Western Escondido—there really are few decent hotels in Escondido. It’s attractive and in a convenient location. Our room was clean and beds were comfortable, if worn. Common areas were quite messy with trash piled up, and breakfast was okay. I was not given the AAA rate, though I showed my card. Wifi was completely inadequate even to check emails much less stream something. The biggest problem was that (at the end of a very long day of moving) there was NO HOT WATER. The tepid water there was was a disturbing brown color. Front desk said he would “see what [he] could do to take care of the situation,” and, though the owner replies that it was fixed 45 minutes later, we never heard from him again and didn’t know it was fixed. Apparently Best Western will not do something to make this right; a room with an unusable bath/shower is definitely not worth $374.

Rooms unclean. Found change (coins) on bathroom floor. Hair in the sink and bath. They were in the middle of fixing the faucet of the bathroom sink. Nuts and bolts were left under the sink. The faucet wasn't put back on all the way and was loose. In addition the water was only hot and did not have cold.

If you have to save money then it will do, once you get to the room make sure you can adjust air conditioning down to 67 degrees or so, we could not and we had to play the blanket game( try to figure out how much blanket to cover yourself with). We did let the front desk know after our first of two night stay and they said they would take care of it, they didn’t. Nice neighborhood, outdated rooms.
