Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Overall it was a great stay because of staff. Rooms need to be updated for the price you’re charging. The picture of the room that was advertised that we would get is not what we got. Only free thing we got was WiFi. We got a cheaper stay for the last day elsewhere.

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle
Beware: they require an additional $20 for parking. There is no on-site restaurant and the front desk never mentioned a Bunz Burger Joint so I don't know what restaurant their ad is talking about. Other than that the room was adequate.
