Rodeway Inn Escondido Downtown — Hotel in Escondido

If I could give this roach motel a -5 stars I would! This place was the dirtiest hotel I have ever been to!!!! Couldn't even really take a shower because out of 8 towels only one didn't have blood stains piss or poop stains on it 🤢. Was supposed to be a double queen room definitely were just fulls. There were no screens on the windows no bathroom fan moisture running down the walls in the whole room do to inadequate ventilation. The head bored was falling of the wall on to the beds it was also covered in god knows what stains everywhere. Supposed to have a complementary breakfast coffee and some dollar store fake honey buns is not a breakfast. Also I was given a regular house key for the door they only had one for the room which was a very big inconvenience traveling with a family of 4. The drug activity and hookers in and out all hours was insane. Please don't stay here the place is not sanitary or safe.

As a response to ur response I tried to tell the staff they played like they didn't speak English or understand what I was saying they also didn't seem to care much how my stay was also apon checking out I voiced my concerns and let them know that we cleaned the room and when they went up and checked so I can get my deposit back there response was thanks now the maid doesn't have to clean the room so gross u guys are a joke and I have been in contact with the proper authorities to have ur health and safety standards checked have a...

Not enough parking on weekends. Place was full when we got back to our hotel on Sat. Front Clerk just said to find parking somewhere across the street.

Rooms Adequate but nothing particularly outstanding. Rooms come with a spring mattress that feels very firm. Although some might prefer it that way, I dont. Also a microwave, mini fridge, 40? Inch TV and ac. Few amenities. There are hooks to place bags and hoodies mounted next to TV and ac must be manually turned on and off. I must say the ac was very good and worked well even during the August heat. Rooms also dont have a "Do not distrub" sign that you can hang outside. Windows are covered with shades and some daylight can shine through which might bother some who sleep during the day. Service During our 3 day 4 nite stay the motel maid never cleaned our room. Was never asked either if they could.

Theres a laundromat right across the street and a few quick service options to choose from that are nearby. All sit down or fine dinning areas are further away. Location is placed near a busy 4 way intersection so you constantly here the sound of cars humming by. If your lucky you might even spot an accident. What i like about the location is that there are 2 different freeway entrances nearby the Inn. However there are many homeless people in the area.

Recommend if cash is tight but I suggest you find better locations to...

So while visiting San Diego and the Breweries I needed a place for my group to stay, unfortunately during labor day weekend there were scarcely any rooms available. Which lead me to just take a chance at the Rodeway Inn, the staff was pretty friendly and we chatted a bit as the system played catchup with us. Sean (working at the desk) disclosed with me that our extra rollaway bed may be an extra charge, which was good to know so there wouldn't be any surprises (unfortunately this isn't shown on Choice's site.) Then the room, oh boy. This is as hotel-y as it gets, but it at least had a flatscreen and hard floors. My only issues were that the AC unit was tucked away in a upper corner, making it less effective than a floor unit would be. The fridge was non-functional at the moment, so it wasn't ready to have our leftovers and drinks in it until we reset this tiny switch on the outlet tucked behind the bed. Oh and the beds? Comfy, sure, but one bed had paint and glitter splattered all over the side of the mattress while the other had red stains on the fitted sheet.... makes me wonder how clean these things are.

Aside from that it was a good rest, I'm sure it wouldn't be my first... or second choice for a hotel in the area again, but if you have no other option the staff is at least friendly and the ice machine is always...
