Travel Ball Stay - minutes from Kit Carson Park
The hotel is located in a redevelopment area under construction. The hotel is fairly old but recently remodeled and very clean. Access from the highway is convenient and located less than 30min from the beach.

Great stay and pet friendly
Everything about to stay at the Escondido Lodge was great except for having a bed that was not so comfortable in a little springy and made a lot of noise when you moved around. Other than that it was great
