Mt Vernon Inn

oh my I must say this place is old and they have people renting rooms here months on end… the place is old and run down… I stayed upstairs with a friend and the door it looked like it had been broken into… the sheets were dirty and the floor full of dust Vernon inn get a life you people need to do a better job at the very least cleaning the hotel god! good luck guys

Well let’s get this clear, this place is one of your run down washed up hotels in the «I’ve seen better» parts of Escondido. The hotel is big and that makes rooms quite roomy, but where they lack in room is sanitation and renovation. For renovation, these rooms look ideal for the 90’s era. For sanitation, bugs from roaches to bed bugs and sink shower and toilet all look like they’ve barely had any upkeep (their motto must be if it works it’s good). Now for the basic spew about this place let’s get to hospitality. I called asking to check in another night and asked to place the card they have of mine on file to run again for another night and they said please come in for payment. I kindly agreed to do so at noon they agreed to have me pay then. Sorry for my burden of over sleeping, but without any and I mean ANY proper way of notifying a PAYING customer hotel employee is coming into our room he barged his way in and said you must leave before I call the cops and slammed our door. What a complete imbecile. I continued to get dressed and confronted him in front of a family looking to pay for a room about his unnecessary means and he tried to explain the maids had tried knocking, but that STILL doesn’t leave any room for the employee to barge in without knocking for acknowledgment from the paying customers inside. This employee deserves a wake up call or possibly a dismissal of a job. The family next to me even sided with my plea. Other then this dilemma we stayed another night only due to the fact the rooms are the cheapest on the weekend in Escondido.

Ugh I have stayed here many times and every time I’ve stayed here my wife and I wake up with bug bites but this time is the worst experience I have ever had here. The room I’m in is infested with bugs. They’re crawling around all over the room. This is unacceptable. Regardless of whether or not it’s a cheap hotel at least keep up the rooms. I found dead bugs under the night stand and under the bed.. Last time I had a n hdtv in my room, excited that I had my PS3 with me I set it up to find out that the tv doesn’t work with anything but the cable. The remote never works. Extremely disappointed yet again.

Sketchy. Cheap but dirty ($ 60). Room smelled like urinal cakes but it works if you need a place to crash.

Sketchy. Rooms run down and smell funky. DIdn’t feel safe.

Beware of this place. This place is crawling with hookers and is dirty. Also many homeless families live there. So if you’re looking for place to stay this is not for you. It’s almost always filled by company no one would want to keep. I’m sure people are nice but I don’t want to stay next door to a hooker or a drug dealer.

This place is a scam! I drive an hour because Unilocal had a special $ 55 rate if you check in but as soon as I got there the man at the front gave me an attitude and gave me a rate double that. The place looks super sketch

I had a great stay here, would definitely recommend it to my family and friends. The room are spacious, quiet, and comfortable. I will be back!

Had called with reservations, but when I showed up nothing. He had one last room. Perhaps that’s why the room was not worth staying in. Table dirty, bedspreads were really old. Curtains had holes in them, shower curtain was not hanging up completely. Walkways were filthy and need power washing. The entire place needs to be renovated. There are many hotels in the area and I’m not sure why I chose this one. Looked at it online prior and it sold it’s self better. But real in life is scary!!!

Ok got nothing bad to say! Quite the opposite. Arrived here at 1 am after driving 7 hours from Az. Clerk was very friendly. Due to the late hour got a great deal on my room. Room large, clean, microwave, 2 stove top burners, refrigerator, a.c. and jacuzzi. No noise ! High end cars in parking lot! I am a single woman and felt very safe. Will definitely stay here again. Best deal for the price! They did not have a room available for the next night– sold out. Stayed at the Howard Johnson’s around the corner– HORRIBLE-​everything broken ac didn’t work!

Very good price even in holiday season. The room is nice and clean, no bed bug. It looks like It has been recently reinnovated. The WiFi is also very fast. Would definitely come back here.

This place was exactly what I needed. I was saying in Escondido for business and I needed a place to stay that was near the remote office. This place was in a great spot in the city and the rooms were cozy and inexpensive. Would definetly recommend if you are in the area.

i had an absolutely great experience at this motel, the price was great for what I got. nice and spacious, hard wood flooring, a large bathroom, microwave and refrigerator, a very pleasant surprise as it doesnt look like much from the outside. I was quite pleased, very clean place for the amount of money you pay. definitely budget friendly

In the words of my superior in a sarcastic tone, «That’s Class».

Do not stay here, no matter how cheap. I now have an unexplained illness after staying there one night. Not saying its cause and effect but i was definitely sickened by what i saw in the room.
The man said his rooms were clean but I found an extreme opposite. My curtains barley remained hanging on their rod. The door had an over spray painted on it. And it smelled as if someone had expired. So after airing it out i just wanted to get clean and go to sleep but neither of those would happen that night. The mirror was so unbelievably dirty and worn out that it looked like an effort at aging it antique like, but it didn’t stop there. There was a lattice separating the «closet» space which had a huge hole, appearantly for the air conditioner which looks so dirty i was scared to use it but i did and it did work. It probably is what got me sick too. The bathroom was awful, and as i got out of the shower, i instantly felt dirty again just from the smell of the place. Paint was falling off the walls and there were stains and burns in blankets and comforters. Why i continued to stay i don’t know why, but i did. the tv situation was standard for before 1997, and the stairs and walkways were littered with trash and the doorway to the stairs was barely functional pellet gun holes in bathroom window and a real scarey vibe in the parking lot. The plumbing looks from the dark ages and from all the holes im sure there are bugs… I posted some photos and even a blog about it so view them and make your own call but… FYI
When i was leaving i looked behind the dresser to see if i dropped anything and found a drug straw about five or six inches long and as i moved the dresser to take a picture thats when i found old chicken bones with a sauce container wrapped up in the phone cord. So i think the reason i stayed here was to show you and hopefully you are the health dept in northern san diego county to kick this inn keeper into action on his building in back that should be condemned because no housekeeper had ever seen the place and the maintinence guy should be shot!

This place is great if your on a budget, only check in for one person, bc they charge u $ 10 per person. Inside is okay if you dont have high standards.
