Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

6/10 Okay

"The hotel is clean, bed sheets towels. The shower felt like it was going to fall thru the floor. You can hear upper floor people walking and creaking noises. It was creaking alot. Again clean room but not really updated.. the pool area was decent. Heated pool too. If you just want a decent stay. Then it's fine."

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld Near Old Town

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice, clean, nice updates but the location not so much. On the website said it was soundproofing but that wasn’t the case. There’s a night/strip club near the hotel with loud music. You have to pay $25 parking per night. The hotel is near seaworld, little Italy and other attractions. Which why we booked it’s also is a high traffic area. So you can hear cars passing by all night."

Comfort Inn Sea World Area

10/10 Excellent

"This is a nice hidden gem, stayed here before heading out on a Cruise and it was very comfortable. Parking spaces felt a little tight, as most places do in the area, but there was good amount of parking available. The lot was monitored via cameras to ensure safety and the local area felt secure. The beds were very comfortable allowing a pleasant and full night of rest. The rooms were larger than I was expecting which was great to allow us to have a few of us in the room to talk and not feel cramped; though, if you have a lot of luggage for several days with multiple people it may feel a little smaller. That being said, there is a good amount of space for storage so the space can be optimized. Lighting was plentiful and the room felt nice and bright. The staff was very friendly on check-in and check-out and ensured to point out the hours for breakfast and explain the property. Felt like a good warm welcome. The breakfast provided had a surprisingly large selection and seemed to have a little of everything. As a bonus - for those that like Raising Caines, it's right across the street so a super easy walk for some delicious chicken tenders."
