Lobby smelled. Clerks didn’t know how to credit taxes via tax exemption paperwork. Unable to switch credit cards on check in. Blow dryer wasn’t functional. The tv glowed in the dark even when off.

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.
