Room Cleanliness
I stayed for a week. Overall, I am satisfied. Room was clean and tidy. But couple of issues needs to be resolved for me to stay again: no microwave in the room, you have to rent one from the front office with extra cost. Positioning of the refrigerator is awkward under the sink. Wi-Fi connection is absolutely inadequate. I can stay again, if these issues  are resolved.

Great deal when we booked 2 nights online. Great location. No problem with parking, which is included. Room was not that great. Some items in the room had been upgraded and others, the carpet, wallpaper, and bathroom tile and tub, had not. It was clean and comfortable and did the trick. We might stay there again if same deal was available....

The room was very nice and clean. CONS off beaten path if you are relying on Public transportation,almost none,only one bus and it quits running early. Nothing within waking distance. Some of te other hotels had restaurants but did not feel comfortable to walk to them at night. Vending machines didnot work. And spa jets did not work

The only drawback to this Hotel is not close to anything. If you do not have a car,very hard to get around. Only one bus line to transit station and stops running early. If I stay here again,I would have to rent a car.

No toiletries in the room at check-in. Since we got there late, front desk could not provide housekeeping services. Next morning, the desk person, who was texting on cell phone, took my room number and promised to send someone over. They never came!! I resolved the problem myself later by talking to the maid directly. Room was too small for two people,  even with only one bed in it. Shower curtain was too small for the openning and created a puddle on floor with every shower. Also, couldn't use bathroom at night without waking the wife, because of the light motion sensors.

This hotel was ok, but not great. Had a lot of trouble with internet. The signal strength was horrible. Probably will try a different one next time.

The room they gave us was room 101. Very noisy at night due to location to office. Had people walking from office to the laundry and maintenance room all night long talking on phones and pushing carts and dragging luggage. Made it very hard to get any sleep at all. I would not stay there again and we go to San Diego 3-4 times a year.

There is no doubt in my mind that there are better, well... maybe FANCIER places to stay. However, with free internet access, free parking, and being right in the middle of Mission Valley we have found Howard Johnson Inn, Motel Circle, San Diego CA, to be excellent. There is no doubt in my mind that you get your $$'s well spent. It is not what will  probably rate as a four or five star motel, but for a night or two, which fits our schedule, it is (almost) perfect). (Nothing compares to home sweet home!) Although we only get to the San Diego once a year or so, HJ is our place of preference.

BESIDES OUR DOOR JAMMING AND HARD TO OPEN. WE HAD TO PUSH THE DOOR WITH BOTH HANDS! EVERYTHING ELSE WAS GOOD. CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST WAS GOOD.
