Escondido Queen Califa's Magical Circle Hotels

"Check in was quick & easy & the young man on the front desk was very pleasant. I walked up the stairs to my room & let myself into the room next door to a man standing in his doorway smoking pot. The room was clean & bright & the A/C worked well. Unfortunately the bathtub was surrounded by black mold & the walls were badly patched. I knew it would do no good to complain & ask to be moved, as I was already told that they were sold out. I was leaving at 5am so I just stayed. The rate was inexpensive so I guess you get what you pay for. I will not be staying here again. "

"Clean, looked like room was upgraded. "

"Everything was great!Such beautiful and relaxing atmosphere!Comfy beds! Loved the hot tub and soaking up the sunshine by the pool. I like the character of the house. And even though th house wasn’t all updated, everything was functional and met our needs "

"This place was a little piece of paradise everything you need. Phil and Kristina are very accommodating hosts met all our needs. Shopping , restaurants, and sights close or within 30 minutes. We were impressed. "

"This home was perfect for our stay! Great layout for us (3 adult siblings) with 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. It was VERY clean and the beds were comfortable. There is a really nice view from the balcony. It was rainy while there so we didn't enjoy it as much as we would have liked but..next time. We appreciated all of the little extras. The host clearly went out of their way to create a warm, inviting space. Communication with the host was great and check in was easy. We travel to the area once or twice a year to visit family and we look forward to renting again on future visits!"

"I had an issue w/ communication. The Host was responsive, but unprofessional in responses. Host did not disclose doorbell camera at the front door monitoring my comings/goings in her listing. I wouldn't have rented if it was disclosed. This made me uncomfortable. I figured the camera must've been there for security purposes when no one is renting. This has been disclosed in other rentals. I covered the camera not thinking it would be an issue. Host was upset w/ me when she asked me about the obstruction on the camera. I did not argue. I removed it upon her request. but did tell her I felt it should've been disclosed in her listing. She told me it was disclosed & said I must've missed it. She told me if I didn't like it, I could leave & stay at a hotel that has cameras too. This is a violation of rental rules. I reported it & the disclosure is now there.*My teenage son accidentally broke one of the steps on a bunk bed in one of the rooms while climbing up to the top bunk. I let Host know what happened & she told me my son shouldn't have been up there in the first place. There were no restrictions noted. She said she'd get an estimate & send it to me. I reminded her I purchased property ins. I later received an email from the ins. co. for a claim for the broken step, which I have no problem with, but also a plumbing issue. I did notify Host of a loose handle in one shower that was an issue when I checked in & had to wait for the plumber to fix the leaking water/loose handle."

"The house was everything that was described online it was clean, the host was very accessible, and we had a lot of fun. The location was also great. Very highly recommended "

"The pictures don't do it justice. This home was so much better in person. The host was on top of any and all concerns we had. There were only two downfalls to this place. First is the fact that the jacuzzi is controlled by an app you have to download and it takes awhile to get warm. And the second is the fact that you eventually have to check out and go home. My family completely enjoyed this place. We would love to come back in the future. "

"We love this home. The host is very easy to communicate with and the house is very very clean and has all essentials provided. We also enjoy the beautiful yard especially the fire pit. There are lots of games for our family to enjoy both in the garage area and backyard. This is our second stay there and will look forward to another stay. "
