The Sofia Hotel
"I stayed here many years ago and it has fallen from grace for sure. They used to have a lovely little restaurant which is now gone. The rooms feel like they’re in disrepair, the carpets, the walls, the furniture, the paint the tiles everything just feels so shabby and old. I would not stay here ..."

"I got the double beds. Room is a bit tight but who spends the entire day in the room. Staff helpful esp when asked if I wanted a first floor or 2nd floor room. Super easy. Plenty of parking."

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle
"Great little place to stay. We went to sea world from Orange County and I didn’t want to drive back at night so we stayed just for the night. Room is just what you would expect. The highlight was the heated pool. San Diego is always cold at night so it was perfect for the kids."
