Travelodge San Diego Mission Valley/Hotel Circle

great location for bus access

Anonymous, Vancouver, BC

The bus system was very easy to follow and the drivers were really helpful to get us to the connecting routes.

We took the local bus just down the road from the motel. The attendent at the desk told us which which bus to catch. The rooms at the motel were clean, but you couldn't open the windows for fresh air. There was no safety latch that was safe. I felt our belongings were safe because there was a safe in the room for us to use. We used both restaurants in the complex, one was for breakfast and the other had a piano bar and we really enjoyed our evenings there after sight-seeing during the day.

My business stay was clean and comfortable.

After my business day I was able to shop in drug stores to large retail clothing stores before bedtime.

Clean atmosphere and conveniently located to my business meeting address.

Very Basic

The Travelodge San Diego Mission Valley/Hotel Circle, San Diego, CA was a very basic motel (not hotel) room. Set next door to the I-8 freeway there was constant traffic noise. The pool is small and set in the middle of the parking lot so scenery isn't involved. The good news is that the motel has easy access to the mission and pacific beach exits (10 minutes from motel to beach). It is also 5 minutes from the Fashion Valley shopping mall. Easy access to the I-8 and I-5 so getting to the gaslamp or Balboa park districts was easy. Sea world is approximately 10 minutes away. The restaurants next door are acceptable but I would recommend driving a few minutes to the beach, the mall, the gaslamp or the university district as the food selections are endless and wonderful.

Great Hotel

unfriendly upon arrival and it never got any better. Why put a single woman with a heavy suitcase on the second floor when it's a walk up? Taxi took a long time to get there but only seconds to return to the airport ?

Upkeep and Cleanliness Lacking

The restaurant with outdoor seating served good food, and had excellent service.

The location of this hotel was good because there was easy freeway access. The food in the hotel restaurants was good and the service was excellent. However, the hotel cleanliness was lacking. The shower and bathroom counter was not very clean. THey both needed scrubbing. Some of the caulking in the tub needed to be replaced badly. Also, the bathroom window was broken. It stayed about an inch open, and wouldn't close completely, or open any further than an inch. The size of the room was nice and large with the two beds. But overall, for what we paid for the room, I was dissappointed. I expected nicer accomodations for the price.

A clean, well-lit place...

Hours can be spent Downtown. Park on the street after 6 to avoid the inflated parking garage rates and be mindful of the one-way streets. Pass on the familiar, mega-chain businesses; there's always a far more interesting local alternative just across the street.

Let's face it: the reason for going to San Diego (save for its proximity to Mexico) is the downtown excitement. Yet, unless you're willing to max-out a fresh credit card on the downtown hotels, affordable lodging can only be found in the downtown periphery, with the Mission Valley district being the best-suited alternate. The Mission Valley Travelodge, located on Hotel Circle, is the perfect destination for the frugal traveler who doesn't mind trading the prospect of 4 star amenities for the simple conveniences afforded by this hotel. When evaluating a hotel, one really must compare the rates with the facilities and services rendered. You won't find a fresh mint on your pillow here, but the reasonable rates are backed by outstanding house-keeping services and a friendly staff. The round-the-clock check-in desk is a traveler's dream-come-true. Wireless service is offered and each room comes equipped with a safe to stash your valuables. The rooms themselves are quaint, somewhat spartan, yet entirely comfortable. By some miracle of engineering, noise from adjacent rooms is nonexistent at best, barely audible at worst. And did I mention the soap? I'm not sure what it's made of, but it smells like honey and comes wrapped in paper emblazoned with the most amiable-looking bear you've ever seen. Add on HBO and a coffee maker and it's almost as if you never left home. Chances are you won't be spending much time in these rooms (what with everything San Diego has to offer), but the downtime spent in them will prove to be very enjoyable. Cheers.

Hotel is close to the historic harbor, Old Town, and San Diego Zoo.

Convenient Location and Helpful Staff

If traveling to the hotel by Taxi, be sure to get a fare quote BEFORE you get in the cab. On the way to the hotel I paid $20 for the fare and on the way back to the airport it was only $13.....Traffic conditions were the same.

The location of this hotel is very convenient as it is less than 5 miles form the San Diego airport. The hotel offers non-smoking rooms and two dining options. The front desk staff was very helpful and provided excellent assistance. The rooms were clean, but had not been updated in many years.
