You get what you pay for at this chain, which ranks near the bottom of a recent Consumer magazine analysis. Unfortunately, some rate-gouging occurs in San Diego during Comic-Con, so there's little value at any place, especially low-end ones. It starts with the unusual parking fee, recently raised to $8 per night from $7. They spin this as a good deal since the place is allegedly patrolled by a live security guard. But I never saw him, a sign still proclaims that management is not responsible for loss or damage, and what really is the risk? It's a nice $800+ nightly income for the hotel. WiFi was down for the first 12 hours, and is still slow. The IT helpdesk said the router was in a guest room and could not be rebooted because it was too late to disturb the guest. Brekfast is blah. White bread, 3 cereals, some sausages and eggs I would not feed to a cockroach, and pastries. This place is old. The Ramada (I think) next door might be a better deal once it reopens after its refurbishment. Personally I would avoid Hotel Circle. There is nothing in the area. Little known fact: Its full name is actually Hotel Circle of Hell.
