Top Civic Core Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent

"Nice"

Paradise Point Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the central location that made it easy to get anywhere in town. We also loved that you didn't have to leave the resort at all. The adult pool was great for us as the other pools were very crowded and we would not have been able to enjoy the pool with that many people. The front desk staff, the room attendants, and all the food service staff at the pool were great. The ONLY negative thing we experienced was trying to have breakfast at Barefoot Bar and Grill. We were seated right away, but then we were never approached by a server to get drinks or order food. We finally left after about 30 minutes, and no one even seemed to notice. We just had breakfast at other restaurants in the area for the rest of our stay. No problem."
