Continental Inn San Diego Hotel Escondido

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant surprise! The hotel front desk clerk was friendly and helpful. The room was very nice. The breakfast buffet was tasty. The location was convenient with In and Out, Raisin’ Canes, and Del Taco about a two minute walk away. We were looking for a relatively functional place to stay one night somewhere near the Safari Park and found a gem."
