A nice surprise

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.

Overly satisfied

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!

The room was clean and smelled clean! Had everything you could need for a quick stay! We didnt hang out at the hotel all day but for a comfy safe place to stay it was great! The beds and pillows were nice too!

Good for me!

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 :)

Great price

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 :)

Relaxing

Stayed here one night but decided to stay longer. The room was priced better than others around. The staff when I entered the lobby (two guys) were very nice, professional, and helpful. They were like this the whole time. One even let me have breakfast when it was already closed.The room was clean, quiet, on the 4th floor. Good sized room. The bathroom was surprisingly modern and clean. I read past reviews and thoight the bathrrom would be yucky. It was nice. Cool bathtub, too. I would stay here again. Price is really good if you go thru online sites, but if you ask the staff at the desk they might to a price match.
