Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

6/10 Okay

"ok place to stay"

Old Town Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Loved my stay at the Old Town Motel. The rooms and place is immaculate, beautiful landscaping with flowers to really make the pool area look wonderful. The bed was really comfortable, slept great. Breakfast is nice, relatively small continental but everything available is quality. I arrived by the free San Flyer bus from the airport to the Old Town transit across the street. The only small negative, a few folk in the area living on the street. I didn’t feel threatened at all but just be aware. The staff at the Old Town Motel are wonderful."

Sheraton San Diego Resort

8/10 Good

"The stay itself was pleasant. We didn't get to use the amenities that the resort fee covered other than the pool. The view from both sides was nice. We had a view of the airport which was fun for my plane-loving son and me. The room was well-insulated so the airport noise was minimal. Everything seemed well-maintained and the staff members were very nice. Parking is expensive at $55 a day, but at least there were spots available each time. What I didn't enjoy was being charged more than the closing receipt amount (which included the $105 in fees each day), leaving a voicemail, and having no one respond for several days after which I called again. Seems shady to be charged more without a separate folio showing why. I understand being responsible for more charges but not secretly. Turns out they added a $46 a day charge for my 10 year old being "an adult" even though he was added to the room at booking with that age. Bizarre and not relayed as an accident but ultimately recovered."
