Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, they had extra shower and hand towels also including pool towels. The staff were very friendly and helpful at the front desk for check-in and check-out. Every time we went to go explore San Diego, we would come back to new bed sheets and a clean room. They do go above and beyond at this location. "
