It was a nice in close proximity to most everything we wanted to do. The only remotely negative thing was the lobby was closed when when we checked out because it was very early morning.

Hidden Parking Fees & Poor Service Just checked into Best Western Hotel Circle and was shocked to find out parking isn’t included — and no one mentioned it at check-in. I only found out after overhearing guests talk about warnings on their cars. When I asked, I was told “It’s a third party, we don’t handle it.” That’s not acceptable — if you’re going to tow cars, guests need to be clearly informed. Expedia said parking was $19/night, but the posted sign charges $22 per 12 hours — more than double. When I called the front desk, the manager said to “pay it, move your car to the street, or risk being towed.” No apology, no accountability, no solution. Whether it’s a third party or not, Best Western should be transparent and take responsibility for guest experience. Very disappointing.

Good location but rooms need remodeling

Parking is off site and have to pay $22 aday to park. Bathroom is out dated and toilet difficult to flush. Breakfast was good. Location was convenient.

Book else where

Lobby is nice that’s about it. I booked one room and got another, could not switch rooms as they were sold out. Very dirty room, stained floors, roach bait in the bathroom, white stains on night stand, and not clean bedding had popcorn in the sheets. Hotels.com customer service was awful. Last time booking on here!

Our room had food on the floor leftover from the previous people. The ice machine on our floor (2nd Floor) was not working. When I called and asked for extra towels/toothpaste the lady in the front desk was rude and advised we would have to go downstairs to retrieve it. The freeway noise was terribly loud. Lastly, we found a small roach in our bathroom. Never returning here again.

This property is OK. Not fancy and not horrible. It was just fine for our family vacation. The bunk beds in the suite for the kids was nice. It had two TV, a mini fridge, and microwave. The pool and hot tub were nice after a full day of fun. The location is very close to seaworld, mission beach, and the zoo. The breakfast is free but not the best. The options do change and there is variety. The hot breakfast is not the best but there is yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal. If you are looking for a great location with okay amenities this is your place.
