Top Santee Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle

8/10 Good
"The property is well maintained and the staff is very diligent about keeping on top of everything. Everyone was friendly and helpful when I needed it. A good thing to know is that there’s security roaming around the property particularly in the evening so if you’re concerned about safety that should help put your mind at ease, even just a little. The only con I would say about the property is that the walls are thin so you can definitely hear when people are using the water for a shower and/or leaving their rooms or if you’re on the first and second floor like we were you'll hear the people above you if they're heavy footed. Also, if you can avoid a corner room next to the elevator, I would do so because you can also hear people walking on and off and pressing the button for that as well but other than that, if you’re not sensitive to sound, you’ll be okay. It did a good job of accommodating our needs during our stay."
