I was nervous about booking this hotel after reading some of the negative reviews, but can tell you they are undeserved. The property is well maintained, the rooms and linens clean, furnishings attractive and the management and staff are superior. A true value for your dollar for those looking for above average lodging at budget prices. I enjoyed my time... More

Smelly, creepy, old...need I say more? My mom also stayed here and her room stunk like they tried to cover up the smell of cigarettes with nasty air freshener! And... More

I came here with 4friends and first of all the room was so small with very little walking space. My bed had crumbs in it, the floor had chili stains on it, the shower tiles were all chipped, there was hair in my bath tub, hair in the blow dryer, a hole in the wall that was covered by a... More

If you like this place you have very low standards. The name is a huge lie. I had no idea when booking it that you should stay clear of Hotel Circle, lesson learned. Not only was it unclean, the beds were low quality (big issue with me), the staff was slow and the restaurant next door, whom they use for... More

We just checked in..... walked to our room, keys didn't work. Went back to the front desk, they issued new keys which... you guessed it, didn't work. Maintenance had to open the door for us and whew, the foul stench that came from the room when the door was opened was stifling. It wasn't just musty but was the eye... More

Was very disappointed with the Mission Valley Resort. I'd rank it below a Motel 6. The towels and sheets were thin, the safe in the closet had the door broken off, one of the pictures above one of the two double beds was missing. The light fixture above the sink was pitted as was the mirror. The whole place looked... More

My experience being a frequent guest of the Mission Valley Resort is always a pleasant one. The MVR is a full service hotel with the a restaurant called the Valley Kitchen which incidentally is very popular with the locals as well. The staff at this hotel cares. The guest rooms are well appointed and very large and offer all the... More

This is still a okay place to stay , but the night time staff was not so good, I check in alittle after midnight, the guy at the front desk said I almost missed out on my check in time because it was after midnight. He put me in room 556, this room smell like fresh urine, We sat on... More

We stayed through the second week of January and enjoyed our trip. The personnel upon check-in was remarkable. Our room was on first floor because we asked for; it had been a large room for $39, fresh and bedsheets was cool and cozy. It was also very tranquil and so our sleep was perfect. The hotel is bigger than I... More

I've stayed at the Mission Valley Resort before and was looking forward to it again. I stayed with some friends back in 2007 and we had a great experience. Unfortunately this time wasn't as great. The location is pretty good, a 5 min drive to Old Town, about 10 min to the Gaslamp District, and about a 15 min walk... More
