Top Whaley House Museum Hotel Reviews

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!"

Handlery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at this hotel. It had an old school feel with a cool layout, relaxing pool area with a Tiki bar and hot tub. The staff were all super friendly and All made eye contact and genuinely smiled at you. I would definitely stay here again. Oh yeah, and I forgot to add that it was also a supreme value."

Old Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here two years ago & decided to come back to the Old Town Inn, instead of one of the big chain places at nearby Hotel Circle. There's free parking. Security is good as you need a room key to call the elevator or get into the stairwell. Staff is engaging and friendly. They really make you feel welcomed, which I appreciated after a long drive from LA. Rooms are clean. We stayed in a room with two queen beds. I liked there was a sink in the bathroom and outside of it too. So you can get ready while someone is showering. Breakfast was yogurt, hard boiled eggs, packaged danishes, bagels and muffins. And my favorite, the waffle maker! The breakfast room staff worked hard keeping everything stocked. It was busy for Memorial Day weekend, but quiet at night. The homeless people from under the freeway or by the transit center don't make their way to the hotel. It's convenient to walk to Old Town and to the trolley station. Much easier than driving everywhere or waiting for an Uber/Lyft. I'll be back."
