    Counted 4 roaches, the water smelled like sewer. The breakfast was not good at all. Parking was $27 a NIGHT. I’ve never in my life heard of a hotel making you pay to park on premises. SO stupid.

    Pretty average experience. They’re close to everything but the hotel is older and in need of an update. Lots of noise transfer between rooms and even across hallways. Probably wouldn’t stay here again

    🤢🤢🤮🤮 ¡por favor no te quedes aquí! Apesta a marihuana, las almohadas aromatizante de THC pa dormir mejor, mala atención, el único baño de abajo lleno de caca, pedimos una cuna, quedaron de subirla una hora después dicen que no tienen, el baño apesta a caño. El desayuno se supone que inicia 6:00 am, 6:40 am y sigue cerrado… El peor hotel que me he quedado en mi vida disgusting, gross, nasty, revolting, repulsive, vile, foul, sickening, abhorrent, loathsome, detestable, vile, filthy, dirty, grimy, putrid, rotten, nauseating, repugnant, horrid, offensive, dreadful, abominable, atrocious, hideous, revolting, obscene, monstrous, beastly, appalling, unpleasant

    Excellent Family Stay! We stayed for two days as a family of six and had a wonderful experience! The room was spacious and clean, with two beds plus two bunk beds—perfect for families with kids. The hotel also offered a free breakfast that was really good! There were eggs, sausages, waffles, bread and butter, coffee, and juice—a great way to start the morning. The location was perfect, close to SeaWorld, shopping centers, and other nearby attractions. Everything was easy to get to, and the area felt safe and family-friendly. The staff was efficient and friendly, and we really appreciated how kid-friendly and family-oriented the entire place was. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely come back again!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The PERFECT San Diego Family Stay! Forget the low reviews! Wow! My family and I just wrapped up a wonderful three-day stay at the Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area, and it was exactly what we needed after a tough few weeks. My wife is a doctor with a really demanding job, and we were also dealing with burst pipes and plumbing issues back at our house, so this short getaway was a lifesaver. I honestly don't know what the one- and two-star reviews are talking about—this hotel was fantastic! It felt both cheap and luxurious at the same time. The first thing we noticed was how huge our room was! It looked recently renovated and incredibly nice. The best part? The kids, Mike and Daniel, finally got their own space, thanks to the convenient and absolutely perfect bunk beds! They were thrilled and said it was the best sleep they’d ever had. My wife and I, meanwhile, loved the main bed; she said it was the first time she'd truly relaxed in months when she lay down. Plus, there were so many channels, I even got to catch my favorite show, Family Feud! Getting to SeaWorld was an absolute breeze. It was so easy getting from point A (the hotel) to point B (SeaWorld), making our trip seamless. We even picked up our SeaWorld passes the same day we checked in! The amenities here are great. The indoor parking lot made parking so easy and convenient. We also loved the pool—it was wonderfully warm and a huge hit after a long day of walking. And let’s talk about the breakfast! On a scale of 1 to 10, it was an 8/10. The eggs were nicely peppered, and the coffee was perfectly sweet—a great way to start the day. The location is amazing. The Fashion Valley Mall is incredibly close, and it was nice catching up with a friend who works at the mall right next to Hotel Circle. Mike and Daniel even got to socialize and play with her one child, which was a nice bonus! We had a great three-day stay and will absolutely be coming back here next year when we plan our next trip to SeaWorld! Highly, highly recommend! And also as a sidenote, I think this is one of the best best westerns I’ve ever came to especially how close and fancy world was with my two kids. I love this hotel with all my heart you’ll be seeing me next year. with me and my wife and kids as a happy family. Thanks, and I hope you see this review and are proud of yourselves for giving me one of the best days at the best best westerns I’ve ever stayed at good job. You deserve a 5 star metal!
