Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites San Diego-Escondido, Escondido

It was fine

Liked: The hotel itself was great, we were not there much besides to sleep and get ready for the day. We were there to visit friends and family.
Disliked: There was a security guard there, when I left the building at night to go to the car he honked at me and said something to me I couldn’t hear. Then he proceeded to walk up to the car and accuse us of being there multiple times with different cars. We had not been there all day. It was absolutely ridiculous, we were arguing with him and told him we hadn’t been there and that we have a room. Also the man at the front desk was asleep multiple times, granted it was after midnight when we returned to the room. We did tell him about the security guard and I also talked to the front desk in the morning when we were checking out. I understand the security guard has a job to do but it was very unprofessional and unpleasant as a paying customer.

Very good

Liked: It is a great location, with a lot of stores and restaurants around.
Disliked: Trying to get to the hotel was a challenge. There is an In and Out next door and the drive through was so packed, it was difficult to maneuver around.

Very good

Terribel!!

Liked: Big orblem checking in! Ask for quit room NOT on freeway side. Walk to end of hotel where stupid clerk put me the most noisy room they had to offer right against the freeway!!
