I did not enjoy receiving a call at 3am to ask if we were the ones making noise. I was looking forward ti my slumber after a long drive and the random wake up call accusing us of being loud really ruined it for me. Need to get a refund

I went up to the window to ask if they had any rooms available the parking lot had 2 cars in it on both side total. The front desk quoted me $95 I was thrown back a bit I said okay I’ll book it through Expedia it was $68 total. So again mind you no body is staying here my first room I go to I can’t get in as someone opened the curtain it was already occupied. Second room I can’t throw the dead bolt it’s broken and missing . Ac didn’t work went back to the window the front desk guy was no where to be found 40 min later he showed up. The elevator broke with me in it would not go from the second floor to ground. I had a luggage cart with all my belongings on it I had to now leave on the 2nd and carry my stuff down the stairs. I’am handicap with rods holding my hips to my back so now I’m in pain and pissed . My third room looks like it was kicked in the door would barely shut and again had a problem locking it. At this point I’m furious. The front desk attendant acted as if he could care less said that was the last room. There was no one there . I made it work it was now 11 and I had traveled all day. I get up the next morning took shower go to blow dry my hair their blow dryer wasn’t working I pull out mine and find the outlet was not working. I tried everything to reset it but it didn’t work. I can’t believe they didn’t even offer to refund me. The worst experience.

Floors were dirty. The wall had a booger on it. The toilet didn’t stop making weird noises all night. The bed sheets were dirty. The heater didn’t work. The front door didn’t seal fully. There were holes in the wall in the bathroom. The light fixture in the bathroom was being held up by tape.

Don’t stay here.

This is the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at in San Diego. It was so bad I was up at 3 AM trying to get a hold of someone to change rooms but couldn’t reach anyone. The room was smelly and dirty. The towels had dirt on them. But the worst part was the smell. All three of us woke up with sinus issues because of it. I’m very disappointed in hotels.com and the Howard Johnson in Hotel Circle because no one has got back to me. I would really like a refund but I doubt I’ll get one at this point.

I was surprised when i got to this hotel. The parking lot was full of people playing loud music the AC was very loud, the shower kept getting clogged and took forever to drain. Some of the towels were dirty and the TV controller did not work. If it wasnt because it was late in the evening that I showed up, I would have went elsewhere. Definitely not coming back here.
