Bitten all over

The people at check in were really nice and helpful but the room was not clean. I got so many bites on me from something. I think they were fleas or bedbugs. Will not stay here again

Mid Mod Value in SD

I needed a convenient, basic overnight stay in SD to move our daughter into San Diego State University. The old school, mid-century SoCal vibes of this place, appealed to me. It was good value for the location. It was spacious, clean, easy to find and get in and out of. Near a ton of shopping, restaurants, etc. Not a very walkable location, but you're a close drive or lyft/uber ride to anything, the universities, downtown, the beach, the malls, etc.

Great value hotel and location. Close to everything and the liquor store, pizza spot, and the waffle spot made this hotel super convenient! Didn’t use the pool area but it looked nice. Plenty of free parking that’s easy to access. Room was clean, I felt nice the floors could have been cleaner BUT overall good.

The overall room was good though the bathroom could use some updating. Like most of the small hotels on Hotel Circle you're going to have to deal with the noise on highway 8.
