Ramada Plaza San Diego Hotel Circle

Good location and clean rooms; facility overall needs updating. Very good price for area

The location and cost was good. Staff was very helpful too. The breakfast room had an awful smell so we passed on the free meal, but pool area and lobby was nice. Will try a different place next time.

My wife and me had a pleasant shopping weekend in San Diego. This hotel is near to everything: great malls, restaurants, airport and the San diego downtown. The hotel is clean, confortable and has a good breakfast buffet. My wife says: "the bed is excellent".

We got a special deal for a week, which was just perfect but wouldn't pay more to stay here. The pictures on the website do not reflect the reality and breakfast is not as good as it sounds. Like I said, it was fine for what we paid but not special. Staff can be friendlier especially since they don't greet their guests when arriving or making any contact. Could be better.

Water pipes were broken for a whole day. We couldn't even brush our teeth.

Half the things in this building do not work. The elevator was out of service, and we stayed on the 4th floor. The room telephone did not work, half the lamps were broken, and the window would not close all the way. The shower curtain could not cover the entire tub, so the bathroom floor was flooded. We had to change rooms at 5 in the morning because the thumping noise from the pipes in the wall kept us up. This hotel is made for parties, cause that's all we heard at night. The doors slam extremely hard, so be prepared to wake up throughout the night.

Given the planned length of stay and the other prices I was looking at for hotels in this area, Ramada at Hotel Circle came through. Its location on the Circle arguably sucks - you can take a short, but somewhat dangerous (as in no sidewalks) walk to get to a #88 bus going West/South to Old Town, or you can take the #88 East/North in the other direction much more easily to Fashion Valley Transit Center. You can also walk it to FVTC or even Old Town, they are close enough to entertain that, but either way you're in for a fair walk. Amenities are fair - they have a "breakfast buffet" which is really little more than the standard fruit/juice/coffee/toast/danishes - their extra is waffles, big deal. The rooms are nicely provisioned, with the little bathroom extras like soap and what not, even tea and coffee, plus your own mini refreigeator, which was nice. All very clean. The room itself was comfortable. TV wasn't much to rave about, but they do offer adult vids among others (for premium prices). Staff was friendly, helpful, and low key. No complaints there. Snack machine in the lobby was busted when I was there, and the convenience stores at the Circle are a bit of a walk from here. Also, annoyingly, the ice machine on my floor wasn't working. Elevators worked ok, but were old and creaky. All in all, a good value, but don't expect that 'ahhh' feeling. You have to pay more to get that elsewhere. But sometimes, places like this are good enough, and it was.

For the price the overall stay was fantastic! If you are on a budget this is the perfect place for you. Great location, free internet, and free breakfast.

Hotel is run down, the rooms are grubby, the front desk staff are indifferent (to say the least) the location is not near anything that is worth seeing (plan to taxi everywhere!) trust me, find somewhere else!

Great staff...very helpul and easy to talk to. Clean rooms, perfect location, free breakfast. Take advantage of the multi-day discount.
