Howard Johnson Inn San Diego Hotel Circle

The hotel was a great location!! everything was close by! I keep going back to this hotel every time I go to San Diego. I've tried other places but this is the cleanest and nicest one at a reasonable price I could find. I have no complaints :)

Howard Johnson's at Diego's Hotel Circle was a great stay. Room was clean, convenient and at a great rate. Staff was friendly and helpful. No complants here. I would stay here again. This is not a 5 star hotel, but room was fine and staff and friendly.

hotel was nice, rooms confortable and well equiped, the price could be cheaper... kind off old building. but after all i had a good time.

The hotel was good for us. Basically a place to sleep is all we needed.

We headed to San Diego to see the Dodgers play the Padres at Petco Park. I knew there'd be hotels closer to the stadium, but I couldnt beat this price--and I was also familiar with the Hotel Circle area of San Diego. Whn we arrived, the clerk couldnt find my name and rather than re-entering it, she asked if I was sure I had the correct HoJo. I assured her that I did, and I asked her if she spelled my name correctly (it's long). I handed her my ID to save time and when she finally found it, she didnt even apologize. The room was "ok" not the nicest not the worst. It had the basics--two beds, a bathroom, a sink. We were only staying one night so it wasnt a big deal. The AC worked vey well! (too well for my liking, but my brother was happy). You could hear the freeway hum but it wasnt distracting. What was worse was the thin walls and thin balconies that you could hear and feel anyone walk by. But like I said.. for one night, you cant beat the price or location--very convenient and it only took us 10 min to get downtown to the stadium.

It was ok. Not really near downtown, but if you want to be a short cab ride from the hillcrest bar area, it's not bad. for the price it's not bad. it did smell like a smoking room though even though everything indicated that it was not. next time i'll probably spring for something a little nicer in the downtown area, there seemed to be a lot more going on down there. also, went to get some extra towels and the guy at the counter seemed really confused and had to go get a manager...i thought that was kind of strange.

The location was great the hotel was just average the bed was uncomfortable the linens were rough & the general look was trashy I wouldn't stay there again the location was mo9re classy than the hotel itself.

hotel is ok

San Diego Gaslamp, Mission/Pacific Beach, Old Town

I stay in 75 to 100 similarly priced hotel rooms each year, this was by far the worst experience that I have had. There were gaps in the door that let all of the freeway noise in and left security a question in the back of your mind. Additionally, there were holes in the bedspread, mold in the shower, and there was not even a glass for a drink of water. Given the conditions, it was a sleepless night. The "breakfast" also had room for improvement as it had no hot items. I would recommend staying anyplace else while traveling in San Diego.
