The pool was littered with debris and grime. Now 126 (Was 192) on Tripadvisor: Welk Resorts San Diego, Escondido. The mugs were chipped and the dishwasher did not work properly. The couch cushions have stains on them and the furnishings are worn out with wood panels lifting off the kitchen cabinets. We called maintenance to come a repair it, which they did with an hour. The patio door would not close completely or lock. There were no dish towels for the kitchen. We had to call down and ask housekeeping to bring linens and pillows for the bed. There was no linens on the pull out bed or extra linens for the pull out bed in the closet. We walked in and there was hairs all over the floor in the bathroom, the coffee maker had grounds in it from the last guests, the closet had a sour smell like garbage or old recycling had been spilled in the closet and not cleaned. The light outside the room was flickering like a strobe light. The day we checked in it took 45 minutes to check in and when we got assigned a room it was on the basement floor below ground. They didn’t even bother to try to put us close enough to walk to each other we had to drive to each other’s buildings and that made shared meals very difficult. The staff person named Brenda told me, “if you want to be close to your family and friends on vacation then don’t book here!” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Built by bandleader Lawrence Welk in the 1960s, the resort is a sprawling 570-room property with clusters of villas set among a scenic tree-lined landscape. The staff told me that they wouldn’t guarantee we would be even close enough to walk to each other. We asked to be close by each other well in advance, since we were vacationing together for 10 days. We notified the resort we were traveling with my sister and her family of 4 also. We reserved a 1 bedroom for our family of 4. The Welk Resort Villas on the Green was absolutely disappointing.
