Hotels Near Dixon Lake in Escondido

Very convenient, breakfast was great. Overall good stay, thank you!

I have visited this hotel every year since it opened to be close to my grandchildren age 5 and 6 who love it. They call it the ”Robot Hotel” because there is an actual robot that delivers goodies. Every visit has been terrific, but this was a more complicated visit, and the entire staff was just remarkable in how they rose to the occasion each time I needed help with a number of issues with visitors, office materials, my mobile phone software, dinner plates and utensils for lots of company. The staff gave 200 percent, and as a senior traveler it made my life so much easier. Matt Sater has concocted the perfect recipe for the warmest hospitality I have ever experienced in my travels. Melissa should be training everyone at Marriot on how to provide the most top notch customer service operating the front desk. Her smile is infectious, and her truly sincere approach cushions the anxiety many older travelers have. Itzel helped enormously when I entertained at the pool or patio and was always friendly. My grandchildren especially enjoyed the hugs and conversations with Isabel who laid out a beautiful breakfast and as busy as she was found time to joke with them. The cleaning staff delivered spotless accomodations. This hotel was truly a peaceful harbor that made you feel cared for in a tumultuous sea. Highly recommend. Elaine Darman Levitt

Rooms were nice and clean and we had a beautiful view of the lake. The beds are comfortable however my sleep was disrupted due to noisy pipes that we could hear whenever other rooms used their showers or sinks. Staff was friendly, prompt and helpful. The restaurant Amalfi was delicious and I also appreciated the complimentary drinks you get at check in and s’mores kit that is provided in your room.

The breakfast is great, Omelette is made on the spot, and there are muffins, muffins, yogurt, and bagels! The room is big, clean and comfortable! There is a self-service laundry on the second floor, and free coffee is available in the lobby on the first floor! Lots of free parking spaces!

The staff were super helpful for the 10 months while we worked with them to block off 25 rooms, including suites for our wedding guests. They were very accommodating for changes that happened due to unfortunate COVID circumstances and we were able to provide everyone a room. They also set up the bridal suite for my wife for the day of the wedding to include a full mirror, snacks, mimosa bar and more. She really liked the way the suite was set up for her and attention to detail. They also made up the room the night of the wedding for us. The rooms were clean and updated.

Located almost opposite to the McClellan Palomar airport, the Hampton Inn is a good option to stay in Carlsbad. The hotel is located almost 3 miles from Interstate 5, but the road connecting the hotel to the highway, Palomar Airport road, is pretty wide and I found that it can get you to/from the interstate fairly quickly. The check-in experience was smooth. Andrew, who was at the front desk, was able to give us a room earlier than their usual check-in time because we had called ahead earlier to say that we will be arriving prior to the hotel's 3 PM check-in time. The room was a standard Hampton Inn room, decent sized and some adequate toiletries in the bathroom. However, the Wi-Fi strength was very bad in our room and when I informed the front desk about that, they were able to change my room to a different room the next day morning, closer to the center of the hallway where the routers were placed. While the signal strength was better there and I was able to connect and use it for work, there were occasional instances of the Wi-Fi cutting out disconnecting my laptop. The beds were comfortable, there was little noise as almost all of the property barring the front portion, faces away from the main road. There was a microwave and mini fridge in my room. The complimentary breakfast was really good during my stay here - there were some items that varied from day-to-day. There were eggs, bacon, sausage links, waffles, bread, muffins, oatmeal, cereals and fresh fruit on offer on all days. They also served biscuit and gravy for breakfast one day. It was a fairly good spread, something that I have come to expect from Hampton Inn! I did check out the hotel pool, it was a fairly basic outdoor pool and they had pool towels available at the front desk. I wouldn't term the pool very appealing but hey, the Pacific Ocean is quite nearby! There are a few restaurants nearby to grab food. It would also be a miss from my part if I didn't specially mention the staff at the front desk, who were always available with a smile and helped me with an early check-in and late check-out because of my travel plans - kudos to everyone going the extra mile! There are a few cons though, I did feel that the property is a little bit older than some of the Hampton Inns that I have stayed at in the past. I was a little surprised by the lack of sanitizing stations at the hotel, especially near the front desk/breakfast areas. While they did have hand sanitizing stations, they were non-functional and that isn't good. I would also encourage the property to take a closer look at Wi-Fi and internet speeds at different rooms - in this competitive environment, these points can hold sway on whether a traveler chooses to stay in a property or not.

My wife and I like Marriot properties, and have stayed at several. We recently joined the Bonvoy club. This hotel is our least favorite. We came to San Diego for a wedding in Vista, about 25 minutes away. I booked this hotel on brand reputation. I should have read the reviews. Lesson learned. The property is in a business area, close to the local airport. It looks OK from the outside, nothing special. They allowed us to check in early, which we appreciated. The young woman at the front desk was friendly and pleasant. She asked us if we wanted a balcony. We liked that. We were on the 2nd floor. Lo and behold, we quickly found out that, starting on the 3rd floor, and seemingly right above us, they are starting a renovation. For the 1.5 hours before we left for the wedding, we were treated to jackhammering and drilling. I had a headache and this did not help. My wife wanted to take a nap. Not happening. Called the front desk and asked to be moved. No can do. The clerk apologized and offered us extra points and a free breakfast (did I mention that there is no complimentary food, just a Starbucks type establishment called the Bistro?) but the breakfast reviews were not good so we passed. The rest of the night was uneventful. AC was good, bed was comfortable, shower was fine. Furniture is outdated and worn, hence the renovation. The next morning, now Sunday, construction commenced again at 8:30. In addition, we received a bulletin telling us that the water would be turned off from 11 am to 3 pm. We were extremely disappointed, being unable to enjoy a nice, quiet room. Upon check-out(early, of course), my wife mentioned our dissatisfaction to the front desk clerk, a nice young man named Abdias that identified himself as a manager. He was gracious enough to take $100 off the cost of the room, which we appreciated. Still, my recommendation is to avoid this hotel for now. They are just getting started on the renovation, starting with the top floor and working their way down. It will be awhile before it is finished.

Clean rooms with an excellent location for Legoland. Comfortable beds and good room setup for a family. Breakfast had a good selection - it was very busy most mornings and the Home2 Suites team had a hard time keeping up, but they were trying their best and remained friendly and helpful.
