Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Escondido Downtown

Cool but staff isn't very good. Don't understand what your saying

I booked a one night stay here because my mom and I were looking for an economical hotel that was still nice. We were only going to be sleeping at the hotel for 6 hours so we didn’t want to pay over $200 for a room we were barely going to use. I checked the photos online and the reviews seemed good so I didn't expect anything to be wrong with this hotel. We entered out room and got hit with a strong odor immediately. It smelled like someone had been smoking in there but there was an attempt to cover it up with a cleaner or something. The room looked like the pictures but everything was dirty. The switch on the AC, the TV remote, and the telephone in the room were all covered in dirt and grime. I can only guess those aren't cleaned regularly at all. My mom woke up in the middle of the night because she felt itchy. She thought it might've been a mosquito so she turned on the light to see and found she was covered in bites. She pulled back the covers and found the culprit: bed bugs. We booked a room with two queen beds and, thankfully, mine didn't seem to have any bugs since I hadn't been bitten. We ended up sharing my bed for the remainder of the night but neither of us got much sleep since we were worried. The staff were kind and helpful but unfortunately, it just doesn't outweigh the cons. There was also some insinuation that WE brought the bed bugs from home.

I got the worst customer service I've ever had at a hotel anywhere. The room was marginally clean. The beds were horrible; I could actually feel the springs inside the mattress. The individual at the front desk was rude and abrasive. I will never stay at any Econo Lodge anywhere.

I love this place

Great stay but they don't enforce their rules. Check in was effortless. It was very easy to check in and out. The people who were at the front desk were very nice and welcoming.One thing I would say is they say they are a smoke free place but had multiple people smoking outside rooms so the smell of smoke would linger a bit and with a baby it's kinda bad .

Neighboring room was having a domestic dispute that went well into the night. If you’re there for work it’s ok, clean enough.
