Studio 6 Suites Escondido, CA

Average. No frills. Clean, to the point. Not fancy, but perfect just to spend the night before we continued driving. The area & people seemed a bit sketch, but it was fine.

Staff was great, good value for the money but area had quite a few transient people close and around the property. Didn't have any problems tho.

The people staying were up and about at 2am! Knocking on each other's doors. I saw one who was clearly homeless, nothing to her name, trying to get a room with other guests. Flood lights around the whole hotel.

We booked last minute for a quick trip and a place to sleep. It’s not really a Studio 6, but a vamped up Motel 6. We got in at 1:10am and my son says “wow, it’s super bright and well lit.” When we went to check in, we couldn’t go inside and had to stand outside by a window for check in. As the guy was checking us in, their internet went down along with their systems and they had to do maintenance on the system. We stood outside for 30 minutes with random homeless people walking by and people who looked like they were on drugs walked by. Being female, I didn’t feel safe at all and after 30 minutes of us standing out there, the clerk asked if we wanted to go inside & I said yes please. 20 minutes after that, we finally got our room and went to get our stuff to bring to the room. It’s now 2am and as we are waking to our room, there are homeless people sleeping in the parking lot, people standing in the hallways & a guy with a machete was walking around. Now I know why the place was so lit up. We slept for 6 hours and left. The rooms are redone very nicely & would have been great in a different area. I would not stay here again ever.

Didn’t feel safe when outside or around hotel area. Not secured. Lobby had no clue on what they were doing or saying. I asked if the room had an iron; she said no. I was a little upset about that. Hmm, I walked into the room and it did have an iron. No shampoo or conditioner bottles. Just small bar soaps. NOT an organized hotel in a bad area.

My husband was really scared because he thought it was a motel 6, but when we got in he was surprised at how clean it was. The only problem is a lot of transients around the area, but other than that really quick check in even though we were running really late.

The room itself was neat. It seemed clean and well maintained. My biggest issue is that I specifically got a Non-smoking room because of my sensitivity to cigars and cigarettes. As soon as I entered the room it reeked of cigarettes and the bathroom was by far the worse. I tried airing it out, turned on the AC but nothing helped.

Lots of homeless

had a pool

The stench of urine in my room was almost unbearable and that was only after the strong smell of bleach, to cover it up, dissipated. After checking in I noticed the bad smell and went to the front desk. I was told there was no other room available. I will be asking for a full refund. This is unacceptable and I hope that Orbitz will take this hotel off the app. PS: Also, the neighborhood is very questionable and a female traveling on her own wouldn’t be safe. Shady characters were walking around the property and getting coffee in the lobby.
