"Stayed for four nights in July. I lost my credit cards and other cards during my stay. Half an hour later, another hotel guest found them and handed them to the hotel staff, who then returned them to me. Thumbs up!"

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle ★★★

"The hotel is located in a hotel district surrounded by many chain hotels, offering a good location and convenient access to various attractions in San Diego. Rooms with kitchens are equipped with frying pans and saucepans, but there is no cutting board; simple meals can be prepared. The hotel also offers affordable takeout. The cleaning staff are very responsible, cleaning the rooms daily. The front desk staff are friendly. However, as it is an open-air hotel, security needs to be considered, as it is near a main road and can be noisy; bringing noise-canceling earplugs would be helpful."

Hilton San Diego Mission Valley ★★★★

"Terrible and poor service. Wrong information about the rooms, I requested a room with bathtub and I was informed the hotel doesn’t have rooms with bathtub. The next day I was at the front desk and a room with bathtub was offered to a guest. Safe box was not working properly and causing issues to leave my stuff inside the room. Definitely I do not recommend this hotel."

"The room was clean, but the hotel itself is a bit old. It's next to the highway, but there was no noise, so I slept well. The pool was a little dirty too."
