Top Palomar College Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn by Marriott San Diego North San Marcos

8/10 Good

"For some reason, I was given an accessible access room with features for a deaf person. The room was clean and they allowed me to check in early, which I was very, very grateful for. I also brought my service animal along in which they required me to fill out paperwork stating what my disability was. Other than that staff was kind- we had to pay to park when I saw other fraternizing sketchy conduct in the parking lot. I also saw a gentleman puke in their front entrance and it sat there until the morning. Was going to extend stay, however they were doing some fire alarm testing which was incredibly loud and I was unable to work! Overall- would stay again if needed!"

"Overall the stay was fine. Clean rooms, decently maintained hotel, friendly staff. The parking lot is thunder dome. The lines are nearly invisible and the ones that do exist are super narrow so no one parked in any sort of pattern and loading/unloading was an issue."
