Don’t stay here.
This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in San Diego. It was so bad I was up at 3 AM trying to get a hold of someone to change rooms but couldn’t reach anyone. The room was smelly and dirty. The towels had dirt on them. But the worst part was the smell. All three of us woke up with sinus issues because of it. I’m very disappointed in hotels.com and the Howard Johnson in Hotel Circle because no one has got back to me. I would really like a refund but I doubt I’ll get one at this point.

I was surprised when i got to this hotel. The parking lot was full of people playing loud music the AC was very loud, the shower kept getting clogged and took forever to drain. Some of the towels were dirty and the TV controller did not work. If it wasnt because it was late in the evening that I showed up, I would have went elsewhere. Definitely not coming back here.

For the price we paid all the above! We paid $260ish USD.. 5 days later paid $229 at a Hotel much much nicer.. Sheets were clean but stained, Bed had scratches all in the headbaord, table had stains all over it...I don't recommend unless it's 1/3 the cost and no expectations:(

The hotel was certainly older but it had been renovated recently. The fridge and microwave was a huge plus.

The hotel room was decent, clean and suited my needs. It’s an older hotel, had a muggy/damp smell, AC didn’t circulate well; but overall it was good

What I liked: front staff was prompt, it was easy to book, bed was comfortable and room seemingly clean
Disliked: floor boards coming up, very awkward parking, room smelled strongly of bleach when I entered, the backboard on the bed was…dirty? Scratched up? Not sure what was going on…
