Top Palomar College Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place San Diego/Vista-Carlsbad

8/10 Good

"During our stay, the property was under construction which did leave the top floor closed down. That’s fine, in fact, we’re barely noticed other than the padded elevator."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott San Diego Vista

8/10 Good

"Clean room and it was nice to cook and eat early in the morning without having to go anywhere."

Ayres Hotel Vista Carlsbad

10/10 Excellent

"The property is well- maintained and very clean. I would highly recommend if planning a stay in the Vista area."

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."

⭐ Spacious Château Vista Heated Salt Pool Hot Tub 9 mi to Beach Family Fun!⭐

10/10 Excellent

"Group of 12Very comfortable-Room for all-Pool great"

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!"

Luxury Estate - Sleep 24 - Infinity Pool & Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing property for a get together of families with children (reunions), etc. It has everything to keep kids/teens entertained - from billiards, foosball, corn hole, a putting green, a pool with a water slide, a trampoline, a swing set and a Pac Man video game console. It’s also close to conveniences like Walmart, target, etc if you need last minute food items or necessities. Owner was easy to communicate with. Loved the space for multiple families to spread out.. We even did a Family Olympics and game nights.. so perfect for our gathering! Many fun memories made here!"

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!"
