Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good
"Stayed on a weekday in summer and it was pretty packed. Room was quiet, comfortable and clean. There is a breakfast room with free coffee and creamer and vending machines if you’re hungry. Pool area was ok but lots of families with little kids using it (I know, what do you expect?!?) and the water was cloudy. Lots of chaise lounges and a few outdoor seating areas. Wi-Fi seems to have been maxed out in the evenings."
