Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"My recent stay here was amazing! Staff is incredible and the facilities were clean. Received daily maid service. The hotel is not a luxury hotel (and pricing reflects that), but the staff behaves as though you are a VIP—to everyone. Parking is $20/night but so worth it because of extra security. I asked if I had trouble finding a spot what I should do. They explained one of the guards would help me. Never needed assistance finding a spot and was often parked right in front of my room. Despite the busy hotel with families, it was a quiet space. It is next to a highway, but do your research and pay premiums for hotels not near a highway, if highway noise is a problem for you. It was never intrusive to me even while sitting outside. The water in the shower was actually hot. The pool is clean and heated. The hot tub was awesome! There are several beautiful outdoor areas and 24 hour security patrols the parking lot. I had trouble sleeping (not the hotel’s fault—I just don’t sleep well) and I felt completely safe sitting in those well lit areas to wind down at 2 am. At one point a security officer asked if I was okay to check in on me. There were a few unhoused people but they were not dangerous and did not stay very long, I don’t know if security quietly sent them on their way. It is San Diego, there is a large unhoused population and complete control on any property would be difficult. A vent above the kitchen stove would be helpful. Other than that an amazing stay. Thank you!"

The Dana on Mission Bay

8/10 Good

"I’ve been coming here for years. It’s right on the bay. You can leave your room and walk along the water. The property has a very tropical feel to it. Lots of green grass and beautiful lush trees everywhere. The main pool is great. Has a huge decently warmer pool and nice sized hot tub. Towels available at the pool too. Check in is always easy and quick. I have noticed over the last few years that the rooms haven’t been updated much and they could use it just a little bit. It’s still very nice but could use a pick me up. Also, the quality of the food at the onsite restaurant could use a refresh. Other than that, I love this place and will be back again. Nice staff. Great location. Big property."
