Top Palomar College Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Vista

10/10 Excellent

"Highly recommended!"

Sunrise Luxurious Master Room/Own Bath/Separated Entry/Vista

10/10 Excellent

"The property fit my needs perfectly. Single traveler just needing a quiet place to rest before and after a golf weekend with friends. The views were a pleasant bonus. Comms with the host were quick and easy. Note that the entry can be tight for larger SUVs or similar but there is an option if needed. Bed was comfortable and firm. There's no kitchen, but the hotel style fridge and microwave were more than adequate for my needs. The road to the property is a one lane road so drive with caution and be respectful to their neighbors. Would definitely stay there again if my travels take me back to the Escondido area."

Luxury Estate - Sleep 24 - Infinity Pool & Hot Tub

8/10 Good

"We really enjoyed our stay at your home. The size, location, and openness of the property was fantastic. We were there for the extended weekend for a wedding, and overall it was a great experience for all of our guests. However, the home had several deficiencies and I highly recommend that the owner actually walk through and address. The GOOD: The pool was amazing. The slide was a hit. The sleeping capacity of the home was great for our needs and left some extra room should we need it. The outside covered gazebo area with the fire pit was really nice outside, especially in rainy/damp weather. Some downsides: - The pool, for which we paid several hundred dollars to heat, was BARELY heated. If the 4 times we wanted to swim, only twice could we- *DEAD* Ants were everywhere, unwiped. I understand that ants get in, however, the ants all around the inside were dead everywhere and were obviously sprayed with pesticide. After spraying in nearly every room for ants, the dead ants were left where they lay - everywhere. I question how it could be "cleaned" given the pesticide ants.- The ADU did not have hot water on Sunday/Monday at all- AC did not work well. - Toilet upstairs (not the master) was loose that we were worried would break or fall over. - The freezer was so frozen over that it didn't seal and it leaked water. Would we come back again? Not unless the AC and pool are working. I hope they schedule a thorough walk through to address all of the maintenance issues."

Paradise Palms Retreat: Lux Vacay or Wedding! -- Welcome to Paradise!

10/10 Excellent

"This property is fabulous. The only thing we would like to be different is a bit more in the way of kitchen pots, as we cooked our meals. A good number of pans, but we needed a couple more pots. We would definitely love to come back to this location! The owner, Dylan, is a gem to work with - thank you!"

Luxe Vista Getaway w/ Private Pool & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay here and had plenty of room for our family (10 adults and 6 children). We enjoyed going to the beach each day and having a nice place to come and relax afterward. Communication with the host was great and prompt via text or phone! The host was kind and helpful. We didn't use the pool much because it was on the colder side. We did enjoy the spa however. The host heated the spa remotely when we requested it. The home was stocked with everything we needed in the kitchen as well as the bathrooms. Would highly recommend this location!"
