person found this review helpful

I stayed hear a couple times, allway's in a 2 queen bed room its not a bad hotel its not the ritz let's use common sense here now but over all we allways had a clean room and a good stay. The bad Parking when there full the T.V channels terrible, continental breakfast in the morning not the food Too many people the location is bad must have car. The good free parking free wifi hotel has elevators and a fitness room free continental breakfast its good and great service really I'm not lying. All in all I would recommend this hotel

“A good location clean, pleasant staff and very good value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 February 2012 via mobile

person found this review helpful

We were really pleased with this hotel. It was the fourth one which we had tried on the Circle - the others were either too expensive or were not up to standard. It was a relief to go into the lovely clean and pretty room with very comfortable beds.
All the staff were pleasant and helpful and we got a really lovely breakfast included in the price

We would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting San Diego

“A disgrace to be called a Ramada”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This run down hotel if you could call it that is the worst hotel ive ever set foot in. Nasty is to good a word to describe this run down hobo hotel.Let start with my window from the outside that couldnt close all the way so i we froze ,and the pool o my goodness ! I got a good price but no money is worth this raunchy hotel.Dont beleive the photo thats shown of this run down place there is no restaurant on the premises they turned that into your free breakfast in a cold dank room with the door open.Do yourself a favor look elsewhere.We had bad vibes going in should have trusted my instincts luckily only slept in this hobo inn . I still cant beleive ramada would let there good name be associated with a place like this.

“Where to start??? Worst hotel ever!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Plese look at the pictures, The first picture is in the shower, I cleaned one spot and then took the picture. The second picture is what the shower looked like when we checked in. Third picture is of the fixture in the shower. No this is not a joke! Fourth picture is the A/C now look carefully at this. The space around it is open to the outside! Fifth picture, look at the headlights in the top of the A/C through the opening. That is Instertate 8. It is a very busy road 24 hours a day. The noise in that room is the same as having slept in a tent outside next to the freeway. There is/ was no way to block that out. Not to mention it is January and really cold. Sixth picture another view of the freeway. Seventh picture,, Black mold in the A/C. 8th pic, Day time. 9th pic, Not just our room that did not seal, none of the rooms had doors that close at the bottom. 10th picture is a shot looking down the hall, I wish you could get a sense of how dirty this place is. OK I booked this through a travel site, we arrived late and they put us in the wrong room to start with,1 bed for 4 people??? that room was gross too. When we finally got moved into this room, this is what we found. We stayed the first night because it was too late to go anywhere else. I called the travel site the next morning and they gave me a full refund for the four nights we had booked, which means that if we wanted to we could have stayed for free the next 3 nights. This place was so bad we checked out anyway and went to a different place where I had to pay. If they could not get me to stay for free then that must tell you something. There are so many more things I want to add here, but nevermind. Just run from this place. I don't know where they took the pictures they have on their web site, but they are a lie. I talked to several people out front in the morning while on hold with the travel site, and they were all going through the same thing, trying to book elsewhere. The hotel does not offer a refund on internet bookings so most of those people were stuck. I was lucky that the travel site I used refunded my money and agreed to deal with the hotel directly to get their money back.

Room Tip: Book somewhere else.

“tilt a whirl bed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

First I want to say the Staff is exceptionally nice! I had a king bed that was on a queen bedframe. Frame appeared broke, they attempted to fix it, had to sleep in the center of the bed to have "level" area for sleep. Windows are very old and sweat and you can hear road noise at times (i was in the 2nd building) Furniture (other than bed) was in good condition. Bathroom needed some tile work attention. Room was clean however, very very out dated. with a little work and some new windows this could be a really good hotel. Free breakfast.....CARB central! Had fruit, some hard boiled eggs should be added to the buffet. The breakfast room does have a kitchen in the back so this could easily be done.
