Top San Diego Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good
"Lovely room, very comfortable and clean. Ice machine and canteen lounge conveniently located. Because I was traveling with a short in stature 92 year old with mobility issues, I was in an ADA room. I notified the front desk that the tall platform bed was not easy to get into for her and requested a step stool or any other device to assist her. They said they would check with facilities but never got back to me. We piled the pillows on the floor in lieu of a step stool. That worked. The other issue was that the original reservation through Expedia did not state that their was an additional $20 for parking. Lastly, the vending machines with soft drinks and other snacks were not labeled with prices. I swiped my card and held my breath. Gratefully, they only charged $5 per bottled soft drink and $5 per ice cream cone. Overall, I do recommend staying at this hotel."
