Howard Johnson by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

"Definitely not as advertised. Very pleasant personnel but the hotel needs a LOT of maintenance. The room has a lot of damage. I showed pictures of it at the front desk and was told to use my room phone to let them know of there was any more issues. But the phone didn't work. 2 lamps didn't work. Damage to headboards, refrigerator, bathroom, window, etc. The room had a refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker but there was no coffee. The room was also dirty. Advertised free breakfast on the website and signage but there was no breakfast. Desk personnel was very accommodating. No issues with personnel at all. However, the property had a lot of issues."

"This place is cool if you are staying a night or two, anything after that, choose another place. I was livid when I paid for multiple nights and I had THREE different people knock on my door, treating me as if i was a squatter. COMPLETELY UNSAT! The walls afer very thin, no clean towels and my trash ended up piling up. This place is not worth $80 a night HECK NO, no more than $50 in my opinion. I would not recommend and I will not be back. I was not asked for a deposit upon my arrival, and all of a sudden I was asked for a deposit, and I will be making sure I receive it back or it’s going to be a huge problem! The fourth floor around room 414 feels like it’s gonna cave in at any moment! I WILL NOT BE BACK !"

"The room aesthetics was not bad but the head board for the bed was extremely dirty and I didn’t trust the cleanliness of the sheets. Thank goodness I always bring extra blankets when I travel and Lysol. As far as my experience, I was not too pleased with the hotel staff—I specifically requested NO HOUSEKEEPING while I stayed there. I was in town for work, I had a busy week, waking up at 3am to go to work. I told the guy at the front desk, on 3 different occasions that I Did Not want housekeeping- I told him if I needed them to clean the room, I would call, he said “no problem”…I had my work laptop and other expensive items in my room and didn’t want anything being moved around. On my day off, I was in my room and I could hear the housekeepers laughing and being loud in the room next door while I was trying to rest, a few minutes later, some random guy was knocking at my door saying he came to fix the hot water when I never called about anything regarding water. I went to the front desk and spoke to the guy and told him I didn’t have issues with the hot water. He said somebody must have called for a different room ( but I think the language barrier caused misunderstanding). The next day, When I came back from work, I opened the room and the cleaning people went into my room and moved my things around. I was extremely upset because I told the front desk guy MULTIPLE times- No Housekeeping!!! They have no respect what so ever. They also left all the lights on, the room was not sanitized properly. It smelled like dirty mop water. The Indian guys at the front desk- have very poor English comprehension. There is obviously a language barrier. If you call the front desk and try to rectify any situation regarding your room! They do absolutely Nothing and it’s extremely frustrating!!!! Also, when I tried to check out at almost 5am…the guy was sleeping and it took him forever to give me a receipt. I understand hotels are 24 hrs but they need better customer service! I will never come back here and would NoT recommend!! Very poor service!"

"The room was not properly cleaned/sanitized. The bed headboard was ripped up & dirty. The office worker was sleep when I went to check out. I spent about 10 minutes banging on the service window & repeatedly calling the office number until the worker woke up from the back room. He came out with bloodshot red eyes & looked like he didn’t know what was going on. Please NOTE: if you pay the deposit in cash, they say you will get it back when you check out, but in reality, you will get it back after checkout time at 11am. I checked out at 5:30am & was told I had to drive all the way back to the hotel after work to get my deposit back(which wasted my gas)."

"Very sad hotel. I remember Howard Johnson's being a nice hotel. There was no TV in the room, just a bunch of wires. When I notified the front desk, they were surprised. I have to move to another room, which was very inconvenient since I had unpacked my whole car. There was a cockroach in the bathtub, no shampoo or conditioner, and lousy towels. But there were 2 tubes of body lotion. The staff just said "Sorry""
