    Welk Resort San Diego Escondido - Safari Park Area

    A short guide to Escondido - Safari Park Area

    Escondido's agricultural roots thrive in the city's wineries. East of town, important research takes place amid the safari setting at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. There, researchers work to save endangered animals, such as giant pandas, cheetahs, and rhinos. Casinos line the road that leads to the Palomar Observatory. Open to the public, its centerpiece is the 200-inch Hale telescope.

    The check-in time is 4:00pm and it was crowded but organized and seemed to move along. The property is clean, but everywhere you go it is over crowded and not relaxing. The queen size pull out bed had to be made. We only had twin sheets in the room to put on that bed, after calling housekeeping and getting voicemail, not a real person they were very […] slow and did not tell us they had dripped the bag if top sheets at the front door. Follow up was not acceptable. The pool area was clean and nice, however there weren't enough chairs and shades to accommodate the weekend crowd. The weekend rate is way over priced and we will not be returning. Read more
    Genuine Hotels.com guest review
    Response by Welk Resort San Diego We appreciate your taking the time to complete a guest review. We are sorry you felt resort was crowded, which ocassionally can occur during the Summer, our most popular season. Our linens for the queen size sofa sleeper are provided in a sealed container on the shelf in the closet. This is done to meet sanitary guidelines. We apologize that the wrong sheets were provided to you. Further, we offer bed making, and this will be discussed with our operations team. We hope you will re-consider staying with us so we can change your opinion of our resort.
