Howard Johnson Inn San Diego Hotel Circle

I was travelling with my family to san diego and we decided to book and stay here. The rate we got was a steal compared to what was actually being charged! The staff was extremely friendly, the breakfast was really yummy, I loved the different types of muffins they had, the location was great! We stayed for a week and were able to come in and out of the area very well. The lady that did our housekeeping everyday was really friendly and smiled everytime she saw us. I have no complaints, neither does my husband or kids :)

Room was next to freeway but the double-pain windows knocked down most of the noise, but it was still quite noisy. The facility is old and tired and the room looks it. My blanket was some synthetic rubber-like material that was torn and had what looked like cigarette holes in it. The room was non-smoking and there was no smoke odor. My wife said the WiFi signal was weak and intermittent and therefore of no use. The carpet felt somewhat sticky to my bare feet, so I wore socks or shoes. No evidence of bed bugs! Plenty of shopping nearby and Old Town is just down the road a couple of miles. Fridge was super cold, forming ice on our bottled water. Didn't try the microwave. We won't stay at another Howard Johnson's.

Very old, don't listen to the good reviews. The breakfast is a joke! No waffles, old pastries. I would never stay here again. I wouldn't even have given this hotel the one star but i could not leave it blank. The pool was in a corner with no sun facing it, this hotel is extremely old and run down.

good for three older adults - BUT FAR AWAY FROM ELEVATOR and not much on breakfast.... BARE MIMIMUM BUT HAD NECESSITIES. More "surfaces" for three adults to put personals on, etc.

Good location and inexpensive, plus the continental breakfast. Those are the good things. Now, the bad: -motion sensor lights in the room kept turning on in the middle of the night -hotel is ON FREEWAY and there it sounds like it. You can hear all of the freeway noise from these very uninsulated rooms. I will not be staying here again. It was actually quieter in the rental car while I was ON the freeway than in this room. NOT recommended.

First night had me wondering as a couple of hours after we checked in someone else walked into or room. When their keys were disabled ours were too but we didn't know it until the next day when we returned from church. Room is spacious, maids extremely frriendly, room is clean but worn. we are on second floor by elevator as my husband is in a wheelchair. Upstairs halls could be wider as is difficult getting in and out of room and on elevator.

Its a very old hotel, the rooms too small, the aisle to the rooms very small I dont came back to this hotel

Office staff could've been more professional. Instead they were on their cell phone while 3 people were waiting to be helped to check into their rooms. Not good at all.

The room was clean and quiet, with plenty of towels. Continental breakfast area was clean and well stocked. Check in & out was quick and professional. One of the best experiences I've had on Motel Circle.

nice room good price need cheaper rates, very confortable room well equiped, nice bathroom and wide closet.
