Days Inn by Wyndham San Diego Hotel Circle
4/5 Comfortable beds, nice heated pool and hot tub, workout room was very tiny and crappy worn out equipment. The pictures online showed a different picture of workout room. Was very disappointed it was like a small closet not enough room to workout in at all.
