Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good
"Booked this property based on price, location and pool. We didn’t end up using the pool but I did see it being cleaned each morning. Location was central to the activities we chose to do and close to fancy mall that my daughter loved. There is no restaurant on the property but several hotels close by that do have food options. The laundry room was great to have, although it found out that they do not allow and loads of laundry to start after 8pm, which was inconvenient as we were sightseeing all day. I did like the coffee available 24/7 in the lounge and there was free drinking water in the lobby that we filled our bottles with every day. Our room was very clean and the staff were kind and helpful."
