Guest Reviews
- Christine (10/5): Quality Inn was pure quality, 10 stars! Plus!! - Excellent room, rate and hotel staff, including front desk, management, housekeeping and security Nothing, excellent stay and room
- Thomas (1/5): I am very dissatisfied with this establishment and do not advise anybody to book a room here. - Not very much No hot water in the shower, shower drains very slow, very little water from the shower head,(tub spout diverter doesn't work properly),light in shower room fluctuates from almost bright to non existent, no couch to sit on in the room.
- Virginia (5/5): - The gentleman that greeted us was very friendly We were put into a handicapped room that did not have a door on the bathroom/shower
- Alexis (10/5): -
- Road Trip Cat (7/5): Great value - The room was great. Spacious, comfy, clean. The construction going on around the hotel made it crazy to maneuver in and out. Not the hotel's fault at all, they are great. I will say again, the rooms are great..
- Lawrence (3/5): -
- Camper21277328607 (10/5): 5 out 5 - Clean room, free breakfast, friendly service.Excellent place to stay with good rates.
- martha (9/5): -
- Mia (10/5): 舒适干净 - 对于前台提供的服务非常满意，昨天晚上协助的Phil我想是的，做的非常好，每一步都会有提示，房间和床品都非常干净整洁，性价比之王，值得推荐！
- Thelma (6/5): -
- James (1/5): - Nothing The person was never supposed to charge the room it was my son's card and he said I couldn't use it. So never stayed
- john (10/5): - Beautiful and spotless A lot of construction
- Dave (9/5): - Cleanliness of room and staff was friendly Construction caused some hassle getting in and out.
- Rhoda (8/5): It was not to bad - I liked that it was in a good location to many shopping and restaurants It’s was under construction looks pretty bad from outside kinda shady people hanging around the outside
- fsaldana12026 (2/5): Beware of construction and rude manager - No one told us parking was under construction and that there was loud machinery and lots of dust. Construction starts at 7:00am so forget about resting. Manager was rude and unreasonable and refused to give us a refund even though we only stayed for 5 minutes. Cleanliness is not the best.
- Pietri (10/5): -
- Jayson (10/5): -
- Lawrence (1/5): Would not recommend. - The drywall was literally crumbling in my shower so when the people staying above me showered, full blown water fall in my shower. The staff did nothing about it other than say “maintenance will come tomorrow”. That’s wildly unsafe. The room should have never been available to begin with. I really wish I could upload the video I took of the water coming down from upstairs but this page doesn’t allow me to. The property is not properly maintained.

- Diane (8/5): We were happy with our room and all that it provided for the price we paid. - Our room was very roomy, clean and had comfortable beds. There was a nice selection of shows to watch on the tv. I also noticed the room kept out quite a bit of the outdoor noise. I feel the value was great for the room. Also, the staff was friendly. We chose not to eat the complimentary breakfast as it was very limited compared to other hotels we've stayed at. Also, we were to eat the breakfast in our room, which only had one chair. Other hotels have had room for its guests to eat at tables with chairs. Obviously it was due to the construction all around the hotel, but parking was a little interesting. I don't think you had any control over that issue. :-)
- Sandra (10/5): -
- William (6/5): Ok for a short stay. - Office and breakfast room looks clean and modern. Staff were friendly. Room and bed comfortable enough. Construction adjacent to property made access from road a nightmare. Circled the property 3 times to find access, which is nothing more than an alley.
- Asprion (9/5): - Very nice room, spacious and clean. Breakfast was okay. Maybe a little more variety? Maybe add hard boiled eggs or bagels and cream cheese occasionally to keep it simple. Nice kitchen staff. Breakfast It was a nice visit for what we needed.
- rayray6840 (10/5): Awesome - This is my go to spot every time I’m in town and I highly recommend for anybody passing through. It definitely has Quality rooms, and services!!
- Jose (1/5): I would never stay there again - The value is OK, but I got four rooms all priced differently First of all, we weren’t worn about construction. There were people banging around the rooms all night long. Questionable crowd outside the rooms. No one at the desk when I went to check out.
- Alfonso (9/5): -
- Corlett (9/5): An Inn to be able to relax. - The welcoming staff. Breakfast. How well Quality Inn is cared, very cleaned. N/A
- Jessy (7/5): -
- Jannell (10/5): -
- Patricia (8/5): -
- Rashida (5/5): - the staff was good. location was not good a lot of homeless near by and also the construction going around.
- Sandra (4/5): The staff was kind, courteous & very helpful. Room was adequate & clean. Exterior filthy/unsafe - Staff was polite, courteous and very helpful The area was filthy with homeless people. In commercial area, busy street which is understandable. There was a homeless lady in the parking lot with all of her possessions. Early in the morning,( “5:00 am) homeless men walking around coming from street. There was construction going on next door so dust and dirt. The parking lot was a disgrace and dangerous. Very dirty and rough…looked like it had been prepared to be resurfaced. If allowing dogs, at least have safe area for dogs and humans...dirty, little rocks, “stuff” all along. Worst dog area I’ve ever been to..UNSAFE.

- John (10/5): Great -

- W8109HOjeremyg (10/5): Consistent Excellence, Even Amidst Local Construction - I am a frequent guest at this property, and it never ceases to impress. Even with construction currently taking place adjacent to the hotel, the interior remains a sanctuary—clean, quiet, and excellently maintained. The real stars here are Neil, Ralph, and Tess. Their commitment to customer service is unmatched; whenever a minor issue arises, they address it with impressive speed and professionalism. Plus, you can't beat the location with so many great dining options within walking distance. Highly recommended for a stress-free stay!
- Dennisfanderson (6/5): recent upgrade - Nice large rooms, recent renovation. Hard to find the driveway during construction of two restaurants out front. Google maps tries to take you in from an apartment complex on the Southwest side. The actual temporary entrance is on the Northeast corner. Permanent entrance will be on the East side when construction is done. Breakfast was terrible. Coffee, cereal, yogurt, or waffles. Juice machine out of order. Parking lot needs to be refinished, probably waiting for construction out front to be completed.
- Rachael (9/5): - Very comfortable bed, big room.
- Tomas (10/5): I would come back and stay here. It’s in the middle of what you need and at a good rate. - It was close to everything we needed. The place was clean. The staff was there every time we had a question. There’s construction going on but I’m sure it looks a lot better. Good channel selections. Heater, AC, and fan all worked. Feathered good quality pillows and linens. Good mini breakfast bar. The blueberry waffles, fresh coffee, and ok were perfect to take back to the room and enjoy the rest of the vacation. The fridge didn’t cool enough even when set at 7.
- Jordan (10/5): The front desk was super polite and helpful plus fast. Explained everything to me - It will be a lot better once all the construction is completed All of the construction
- Armando (1/5): - Management horrible attitude
- Marco (5/5): - N/a Too much noise from neighbors
- Fred (10/5): -

- Porras (5/5): For a weekday overnight stay, it was below average all around. - The room we stayed in was partially remodeled and clean, but the location was in a rough part of Escondido. There was construction being done on surrounding properties and lots of homeless people in the area. Due to surrounding construction, it was difficult to find the front desk at arrival, parking was ample but the parking lot was filled with pot holes. The exterior of the buildings need modernizing.
- Marta G (7/5): - It was clean
- John (8/5): - Beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. Check in was smooth The construction made it a little difficult to maneuver around. And the parking lot was very rough. I guess that will get fixed. Breakfast was just ok. We were hoping for something more, but at least there was something.
- Keith (7/5): -
- Rosas (1/5): - Nothing Scammers
- Sungkuk (10/5): - The staffs were very kind and the parking lot was wide enough. There was a lot of dust because of the construction ahead.
- Derwin (8/5): - Area is under construction
- federico (6/5): - Il personale super gentile e disponibile La colazione non esiste praticamente. Waffle da prepararsi da soli con delle piastre. Meglio non fare niente allora! Il giorno dell’arrivo in camera c’era un odore soffocante di candeggina che costringe a tenere aperte porta e finestra per non soffocare! Cambiate prodotto per pulire!!! Le maniglie di armadi e cassetti appiccicose. Nella vending machine il frigo era spento, cioccolate sciolte e m&m’s con pacchetti rotti lasciati in vendita! Gente poco raccomandabile intorno all’hotel e anche al suo interno.
- Maria Yesenia (10/5): - I read the reviews on yelp and was a bit worried since it started Crack heads and homes on property. Nothing at all, it was clean and the staff was nice. Food locations were all extremely close but there is construction going on so entering and exiting the property was the worst.
- William Frederick (6/5): - The construction site along the entire front of the property should have been disclosed during the reservation process. It was difficult into the property.
- Brad (10/5): - The staff was very helpful, there was construction going on and no pool.
- Jacob (8/5): - Good stay
- Robert (6/5): Just Okay. - The hotel was okay overall, but there were a few things worth noting. Construction next door made navigating the parking lot a bit chaotic, and there were homeless people nearby and even in the lot, which gave the area a bit of a shady feel. It also seemed like a number of people actually lived at the hotel, which changed the atmosphere compared to a typical stay. I worried about my car at night, but thankfully we had no issues. The AC unit was very loud, and the property itself is definitely older and showing its age. That said, it served its purpose for a short stay.
- Doreen (10/5): - The staff was very professional and nice. The room was clean and spacious. I would definitely stay here again.
- Debbie (2/5): - My reservation was cancelled on the same day I booked it by you guys
- Yaritza (8/5): - The room was clean and comfortable and affordable. Breakfast was organized and tasty. Convenient to shops and area stores.
- Sara (8/5): -
- kurtac2025 (10/5): Phenomenal!! Respect by the owner and staff and very caring of how your room is.Constantly wanting to make things better - I personally and with all my heart have never been treated so kindly and respectful and I have traveled all over the world!! Cheers to a great company and manager and I know I will be back to a more beautiful facility after construction is done!! Well done my friends! Please excuse the work that is being done because it is one of the best motel and staff I have ever dealt with!! 🙏🏻❣️
- Diana (10/5): -
- Lucia (10/5): - Frindly,quite and Good Breakfast
- Afshin (10/5): - Everything was great! The Staff were nice and friendly. The room gets cleaned everyday and the area is calm and quiet.
- Koo Hyung (8/5): - Price is reasonable
- chanice (2/5): Never again - This was a horrible stay! I have stayed here before many times. The hotel has let its establishment ho tobthe wayside. There are bugs all over such as spiders, ants and other bugs. We refused to even eat food from this property. The beds are terrible and this place needs an upgrade
- Carol (8/5): -
- MARIBEL (10/5): - I really was impressed with the accommodations. I travel with three seniors The room was perfect for my mom and aunts who are over 70 years old. The restroom was spacious and even had a chair if need to put inside shower. Really happy
- Xiomara (10/5): - Las habitaciones muy limpias 💯 Construcción 🏗️
- Verified traveler (4/5): Needs better cooling and construction noise is too - The room was so and did not cool down until 3:30am. Construction in front ofbthe building started at 6:00am. Did not get much sleep that night.
- Wankun (6/5): - The air conditioning is noisy.
- Carlos (8/5): -
- Carlos (7/5): -
- Cindy (6/5): - Room was fine.Most of the parking lot was blocked off due to construction so limited parking. Breakfast was long line so left without eating. I guess you couldn't serve yourself.They had to do it
- Josh (10/5): - Bed was comfortable and shower was nice
- Rosie G (10/5): - There was some construction going on right next to the hotel, so the pool was gone, and parking was limited on one side of the building. On the other hand, we had a room on the end of the building with parking right in front. It was pretty quiet and clean. The complimentary breakfast was simple but good. And the location was pretty close to everything we needed to go to.
- Sambha (1/5): -
- Verified traveler (4/5): No hot water in the shower - The room we had was not clean we had to deal with bugs, grub worm, hair in the shower floor and walls. the shower had no hot water had to take cold shower after we cleaned the shower and sprayed the room down with Lysol. We checked out early and moved to another Hotel. Manager was notified.
- Lashya (10/5): - This hotel was good for what you pay! The hotel itself needs to update photos because those photos are not how the hotel looks currently! The area is just ghetto—homeless people everywhere—and they are partying it up in the canal just next door. Then let me tell you, the SWAT team came out, and the next morning the investigation team was investigating something that looked serious! But yeah, we had the kiddos. The hotel was just mid—they never mop, but the staff and breakfast were good! However, please update the photos, guys…
- Leslie (10/5): - I like my stay there , but my only dislike is that they where under construction
- Jose (4/5): - Okay
- MING XIA (8/5): - N/A
- Donald (4/5): - Breakfast was not served until 7:15 although it was advertised as being available at 6:00. Construction going on all around. Parking lot is torn up. Dangerous looking area.
- Elena (2/5): - The room isn’t bad. We had ants in the restroom. The area isn’t the best two of the three nights that we stay police activity on the side of the hotel with the house people. Make sure for breakfast on the weekend you have enough and sufficient time to wait the person making the waffles are always super nice super kind but it’s busy and you only have one person passing out breakfast and making waffles so Overall just have the time to wait in a very small breakfast area very limited on seating.
- Steven (8/5): - The room smelled of tobacco. The curtains stank. I mentioned this to the desk clerk, and he gave me a can of Febreze to use. Helped a little. Overall, the hotel was okay, but the room was not clean enough.
- clara (10/5): - All good
- joe (2/5): - The property is really outdated and dirty.
- Linda (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean, very comfortable, very polite and nice reception when checking in and out. We were very impressed.
- Ashley (4/5): - Review: Disappointing Experience I recently stayed at this hotel, and unfortunately, my experience did not meet my expectations. I appreciated the kindness of the staff who allowed me to check in a few minutes early, which was a nice touch. However, that was about the only positive aspect of my stay. The parking lot was in poor condition, being uneven and cracked, which made it difficult to navigate. Upon entering the hotel, I noticed the common areas had bars on the windows and signs warning guests to close doors behind them, which created a sense of unease. The surrounding area felt run-down and was filled with transient people, contributing to an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. Additionally, ongoing construction made it hard to get in and out of the hotel, further detracting from my experience. For the price I paid, I had much higher hopes, but the quality felt more in line with a $60-a-night room. The overall environment was quite shabby, with rooms that were poorly maintained. I could hear everything from outside, and the walls showed signs of inadequate patchwork. Cracked tiles and cheap repairs were evident, and the beds were squeaky and felt low-budget. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel. It felt very similar to a Motel 6 in quality, with a parking lot filled with abandoned vehicles and people living in them. For the price, I expected much better and would not stay here again.
- Ana (5/5): Passable - Staff were very helpful and kind. Well kept and cleaned. Decent stay for a decent price. The location and construction were a barrier to come in and out.
- Elvia (2/5): - Disgusting area and hotel, DO NOT stay here, pictures are a lie
- Alin (4/5): - The room was spacious, but it was only equipped with a computer chair, and there were no other chairs to sit on. There was construction around the hotel, and the breakfast was not good.
- Alex (10/5): - Like it
