Howard Johnson Inn San Diego Hotel Circle

Positives: one staff member, room size, comfortable bed Negatives: bed spread, outside is absolutely filthy, elevator out of order, microwave not working, lot of noise through the ceiling

I asked for a non smoking room and what do they do.. Give me smoking! I was so exhausted I ok they made a mistake let me just take a shower and relax, Big mistake! The shower was broken only spit out cold water! Very angry at this point! To dim it up I will never stay here again.

I don't know if I got the one room that sucked, or what!!! My first issue was the door that didn't seem to fit the door frame very well. Then I noticed the ratty furniture- I think every piece was broken in some way. Even a couple of the hangers were patched up!!! On the night stand that had seen better days I found the TV remote that only partially worked. No worries- a few of the channels I wanted to watch (local TV mind you) were too fuzzy to watch anyway!!! But the fridge worked great- it ran all night long and had everything I put in it frozen solid by morning!!! I think my favorite part was the 7AM wake up call from the grounds maintenance staff next door... All in all- it was a place to sleep, but that was about it- as long as that wake up call suits your schedule!!!

The jacuzzi needed to be cleaned. The elevator wasn't working and could hear the people above us as they walked around.

Staff was rude on more than one occasion. The elevator was out of service, but there was no sign advising that. Had to carry suitcases down 4 flights of stairs. Room had lots of traffic noise due to ill fitting doors. The continental breakfast had very few choices, and noone was on hand to replenish supplies which were grudgingly refilled after a walk to the front desk. We will book into a different hotel next time.

Altough I requested Non-smoking rooms, the one I got smell terrible and no more rooms were available. The hotel requires maintenance and the only good thing is the location.

For what I paid I have to admit I was extremely impressed with my stay here. Out room had a mini fridge and a microwave the ac was amazing the shower was very clean with great water pressure. On top of all these wonderful surprises the front desk man met all my needs. I groaned at the 11am checkout and he promptly offered me noon check out I did not even need to ask. He made sure we were aware of the breakfast times and described it to us well. He even gave us his forks from his lunch(they were clean!) to use to eat in our since the hotel does not purchase forks. Overall I was more than satisfied I was highly impressed with all the service!

Ghetto and dirty. Bad service. Dirty rooms. Place looks scary. Dirty pool.

we have been there for two days and not satisfied by the kind of service they were doing. the breakfast was over on both days and staff mentioned that they are going to go out and shop to get it when people were waiting there. the options are so limited in breakfast. the room was not so great as well.

the manager of the hotel was not helpful. other staff were nice.
