Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle
Always a great stay at the Days Inn. We do recommend family and friends here all the time. Only issue was the bathroom sink handle was loose and the hallway smelled heavily of chlorine. Other than that beds are very comfortable, rooms are quiet, parking is great and overall a good stay.
