It’s an old a school HoJo’s. In the heart of the red light district, this old gem is compete with the ‘70s motel vibe. If you come late there is a window for your key but check it twice as it most likely won’t work. The shower dripped all night and if you want some water of coffee after hours- tough luck!

What I don’t like about this property is that they were some outlets that they were not working. From the whole room I will say that only three were working properly. Besides that everything was good.

Being a seasoned traveler, I’m always looking for a good hotel to stay at that won’t break the bank. Howard Johnson’s by Wyndham in the midway district of San Diego is just such property. As soon as you arrive you’re greeted by a professional and knowledgeable front desk staff that makes checking in easy. There’s plenty of offstreet parking if you decide to rent a vehicle. Upon getting into the room spacious and has everything you need for your stay; specifically, big screen TV, refrigerator, microwave, iron and ironing board, Walgreens, all the toiletries that One would need. The bed was very comfortable and it had a heater and air conditioner depending on the season. There is a pool, ice, machine and laundry, facility on grounds, as well as a small business center. Did I mention that they have a continental breakfast daily, including a waffle station that will get you on your way in good form. So if you’re looking for a great hotel, that’s centrally located to major attractions within the San Diego area look no further than Howard Johnsons By Wyndham!

Very convenient location, but very dirty. Broken furniture in the room. We didn’t want to touch anything or sleep in the beds. Very noisy, we could hear everything (every car passing by). Needs a serious update. I would not stay here again.

Room was dingy with burned out light bulbs. Lack of outlets near the beds for recharging electronics and no outlet for the alarm clock. Bedside lamp switch was beside the exterior door. “Hot” water in room was lukewarm at best. Peeling paint in the tub; ill-fitting toilet seat. Breakfast was continental, i.e. cereal, toast/bagels, waffles, coffee; no eggs, bacon, etc. The pool was much smaller than pictured, was cold and had fine floating debris.

I guess I get what I paid for. Keys or workings.. we’re assigned a different room still keys not working. The rooms really are dated and needing serious renovations. Breakfast is free but only served bread, waffle and coffee. No egg, bacon or ham. For sure not coming back to this hotel.

Close to airport
Just needed a bed and shower for the night. Had a really early flight the next morning, so didn't get to experience the breakfast. Perfect location, very close to the airport. Wish they had a shuttle though, uber or taxi will get you there.
