Comfort Inn Escondido San Diego North County

Comfort Inn Escondido San Diego North County

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean but stuffy upon entry, which dissipated quickly after opening the patio door. There were ample towels and free snacks; bed & pillows were comfortable. Sofa and table were Staff was friendly; especially the young lady at the front desk, always greeting me on entry. The buffet consisted of self-cooked waffles, breakfast meats, eggs, breads, cereals and juices. Air conditioning was available but I didn’t need it. "
