"Great stay! Wonderful central location to just about everything in San Diego. Don’t overthink staying here on Hotel Circle verses other more expensive areas of San Diego - it is still beautiful San Diego, and you are a perfect drive to anywhere and anything you want to see or go, and local to any amenities and stores/grocery you may need. All week we kept saying how glad we were we stayed here! Breakfast was huge and great, beautiful, cool room, and the kindest staff - shoutout to Ador who was the best! And free dinner Monday - Wednesday nights! We loved our suite! Stay here - a wonderfully safe, clean, cool home away from home in San Diego. We would come back again!"
