We stayed at the Howard Johnson in Hotel Circle and were very satisfied with our stay. It’s a good choice if you’re visiting Seaworld, Sesame Place, the San Diego Zoo, USS Midway, the Maritime Museum, malls, or seeing family. Most places are 1–4 miles away, which made the trip easy. We set realistic expectations, and everything met what we needed. Parking was plenty with CCTV. It’s an older building like most in Hotel Circle, but our second-floor room was very clean. No insects, no odd smells, no issues. The sink, bathroom, and floors were spotless, even in corners. The room had a microwave, small fridge, coffee maker, clean towels, bright lighting, and a strong AC. The fridge freezer section needed defrosting, but it was clean. The floors had normal wear from luggage. The bed was firm, pillows were basic, and bedding was clean. There’s no closed closet, only an open hanging area. Outlets worked, though a couple were loose. We felt safe, and you can see your car from the room areas. Staff was kind and helpful. Check-in requires signing a few papers and a $100 deposit hold, which is standard and released after checkout if the room is left in good condition. Housekeeping refreshed the room on the second day with no problems. You will hear freeway noise, but that’s true for all Hotel Circle properties. It didn’t bother our sleep. Overall, clean room, safe area, good parking, and a great price for a holiday weekend. We would stay here again. It’s not fancy but it works.

My overnight stay was comfortable. I checked out at 7am on July 20, 2025, the only thing that I didn't like, I wasn't provided with a receipt of my stay, and had to call the gentleman through the night window. He just took my key cards, and I asked is there anything else? He said no. I wasn't told when my $100 deposit was going to be returned to me. Other than that, my stay was good.

Nice stay

The room was great. It was comfortable. It was very clean. Very nice. We forgot to ask about a floor room on the app making the reservation, but when we asked at the front desk, there was not a problem at all. He said absolutely and gave us a bottom floor. He was very nice.
