The staff was friendly. That said there isn't anything else good to say about the place. Room was absolutely run down in every sense of the word. Filth on walls, lamps, everywhere. Mold in bathroom, just an all around horrible experience. Take my advice for the money they charge you can do a hell of alot better than that dump.

Enjoyed my stay here in San Siego. Checkin time is 4pm, arrived at 130 and was able to check in early with no hassle, greatly appreciated. Location right off the 8 freeway, 5 min from Hillcrest, 5 min to Downtown, 6 min to San Diego Zoo and 11 min from Airport. 2 restaurants next door, old style feel with awesome... More

There is mold in the bathroom and on the carpets. There is no bathroom fan and that doesn't help. Lights between the beds didn't work. Old and run down. Bathroom is worn and dirty. This should be an embarrassment to the Travelodge head office and needs to be overhauled.

advantex: Thank you for taking the time to mention the problems with this room. I am very sorry that you had to experience a room like this and I took immediate action after reading this review. I had the mold treated and the bathroom repainted. After that was completed I refinished the bathroom floor. I can assure you that this... More

I needed a place to stay for one night so I wasn't expecting much. I waited 5 minutes at front desk to check-in before somebody finally came out from the office behind. My room was on 2nd floor, had a busted outside window screen, bathroom door lock was broken, and there was no iron. Otherwise, room was clean and bed... More

We didn't plan ahead when we decided to stay the night in San Diego. We were only staying one night and decided to find something on the fly that was pretty cheap. We found Travelodge in Hotel Circle. We got the room we paid for (2 queen beds and a pack and play for our toddler). We had problems getting... More

The bed was an old spring mattress as hard as a rock. Room was not services adequately, if at all on some days. One day we got back to the room after 3pm to find the bed not made, bathroom not cleaned. Went to the front desk for fresh towels and a bag for the ice bucket. They could have... More

The price was very cheap so we did not have high expectations, so if anyone is looking for an amazing hotel, I would not advise it. If you are just looking for a place to sleep at night, this would be a good hotel. The shower barely got hot water which was probably the biggest negative there was. The pool... More

Officially this hotel is rated as a 2 star, but in the UK it would easily be a 3 star property. Room allocated was quite... More

I stayed here just to take a break from a demanding home life. I asked for one of the updated rooms and asked for a "suite". It seemed like a normal room to me, it just had a frig and microwave as extras. What I noticed right away was that the bedspread was wrinkled but in fairness, this is probably... More
