Scene
Bright, modern, and laid-back decor with a fireplace in lobby
Behind a partial stone facade, this Residence Inn has a vibrant, modern decor filled with orange, teal and red. The lobby has a fireplace and a small market that sells snacks and small toiletries. The pool area outside is especially pleasant, with a stone-encased barbecue and large chairs gathered around an outdoor fireplace. The overall atmosphere has a laid-back and mellow California vibe.
Location
Off the freeway and within reasonable driving distance of an array of attractions
The hotel is conveniently located directly off of I-15 and the Escondido Freeway. The immediate area has a few gas stations, some fast food places, and a Chili's Grill & Bar within walking distance. It's around a 20-minute drive to the downtown San Diego area, the San Diego Zoo, and Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. Legoland can be reached in 35 to 40 minutes.
Rooms
Bright mini-apartments with equipped kitchens and large bathrooms
The property's 95 rooms, split into studio, one-, and two-bedroom suites, have the same bright and cheerful decor as the rest of the hotel. But they also have a homey feel and look like smartly decorated apartments, right down to the tchotchkes above the couches and the flat-screen TVs. Each room has a kitchen with wood cabinets and stainless steel appliances. Luggage racks are not in the rooms but require a call down to reception. Large bathrooms have tub/shower combos with red-striped curtains.
Features
Outdoor pool with barbecue area, free breakfast, and weekday evening food and drinks
By the outdoor pool and hot tub is an attractive barbecue area and a basketball court. Along with a free, plentiful breakfast buffet, the hotel has a "social time" during weeknights where they cook light food and have beer and wine. There's a small fitness center as well, and the pet-friendly property also has free Wi-Fi.
