My husband and two small children stayed at this hotel recently and had a good experience overall. The hotel was easy to locate in the hotel circle and when we first arrived in our room, we received a call from the front desk asking if everything was great and if there was anything we needed. We asked for extra towels... more

My husband and I were traveling from Oklahoma with two other couples and chose the Days Hotel for our overnight accomodations the night before our cruise departed San Diego. Note that their shuttle from the airport doesn't take you directly to the hotel. You may stop at the San Diego zoo, Sea World, the cruise terminal, etc. to pick up/drop... more

We are willing to do everything we can to assist you in recovering your lost property. I can assure you that if there is anyone working at this...

We stayed June 22 for 2 nights and found the hotel condition to be about average 3 star mainly because it was old but functional. We booked through its hotel web site which showed total amount including taxes but this is incorrect. They added additional $1.84/night "San Diego Marketing Tourism Assessment". I will complain to BBB about this improper business... more

Thank you for your comments. 'The San Diego Marketing Tourism Assesment' is still fairly new to San Diego. Although our reservations staff have been trained to inform guests about all fees and taxes it appears we have some work to do to make sure that we are telling everyone who makes a reservation about them. I will research who made...

My family and I stayed at this hotel from June 8th through June 10th. The room smelled very bad when we first walked in. I actually sprayed my husband's cologne all over the room to try and mask the smell. The pictures on their website are NOT at all what we got. The floor was filthy. After my children showered,... more

Well...I am embarrassed to say that this guest is absolutely correct. When I checked this room the carpets were indeed dirty. We have our carpets cleaned on a regular schedule and they should have been cleaned sooner. Every room in this hotel has had the carpets cleaned in the past two weeks. I am sorry that your experience was not...

No complimentary breakfast but the complimentary shuttle took us to all the places we wanted to visit. Front desk offers discounted theme park tickets. Too bad we didn't buy our Disneyland tickets from there. We assumed Anaheim hotels would offer the same discounted park tickets. Although, the place looks kinda creepy since it was near the main road, there were... more

Although I appreciate your comments, I do not understand what you mean by 'the place looks creepy'? Our hotel is situated in a busy area and surrounded by other hotels. We have put thousands of dollars into our landscaping this year alone. We have plenty of extra lighting all around the property and the property is very well lit at...

Stayed in this hotel overnight for an early morning triathlon at Mission Bay. This hotel is perfect for a stay where the hotel itself is not the destination. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and accomodating. Pool area was well kept and nice for a hotel at this price level. Location is great for getting to area attractions... more

Faced with the prospect of choosing a hotel from the many on offer in San Diego we eventually chose Days Inn. We stopped there for four nights at the start of our holiday and we can certainly recommend it as excellent value. We chose the slightly more expensive rooms. The facilities were good and the hotel staff excellent. The hotel... more

After reviewing the hotels located on Hotel Circle, we decided upon staying at the Days Inn despite some negative reviews that travellers gave this hotel. Our room was located on the second floor which may be considered the older section of this hotel property. We spent very little time in our room as we were gone for the day and... more

This is a basic hotel and a decent price. No big frills, but clean and adequate. It is located along Hotel Circle--the street off the highway that is packed with hotels. We felt safe and were close to all attractions. Hotel offered free shuttle service but we chose to use our rental car. Parking can be limited. You may not... more

Stayed a week and had no complaints. The staff were helpful every time I needed assistance. The room was clean and quiet even though we faced the road. Free internet access in the foyer was a bonus. Didn't find that anywhere else in our three weeks in the US. Really appreciated the complementary lift to the zoo. Especially pleased they... more
