Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

10/10 Excellent
"It has everything that we needed. I like that they provide big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. There were a lot of towels. The AC was cool. It was nice and not as expensive. I like that we can be wet from the beach and be able to go to our rooms without going through a lobby."
