Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about the place was fantastic. I am only bummed that I never got to use the hot tub. I am Autistic so it is difficult to relax in large crowds, hot tub was always busy with children (yikes), but it'sso difficult. Not the hotels fault, loved my room and the location. It was just Memorial weekend and we'll obviously more busy. You try your best to get time off without it costing you too much. Anyways, loved the hotel, it was a great sensory room.😊🖖"

The Sofia Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was in town for a convention at the Convention Center which was only about a 1/2 mile / 10-15 minute walk away. Chipotle across the street was a lifesaver. Near the Balboa Theater if you’re in town to see a play/ show. Lots of restaurants in the Gaslight District. Petco Park next to Convention Center. Hotel staff friendly and helpful. Room very clean. Bed comfortable. Short bus ride for $2.50 to the airport should you choose to bypass Uber or a taxi. Only gripe I had was the TV in the room didn’t work properly and I needed maintenance to fix it each night. Otherwise, no complaints."

Bay Club Hotel & Marina

8/10 Good

"The room smelled a bit musty and the sheets had stains on them. The fitness area was pretty small with old equipment. The only cardio machines were an elliptical and a bike that were both pretty old and not of real good quality. The fitness center is used by people who have boats at the marina which made it pretty busy most of the time. The small size makes it feel crowded even with only 3 people in there. The pool and hot tub are small but adequate. Parking is limited with the spots being too small for anything larger than a small crossover without obstructing adjacent spots."
