After a long day riding waves at the beach, spotting pandas, or petting Shamu, come back to the Vagabond Inn-Hotel Circle, comfortably park your car right in front of your hotel room, and rest your weary body in our luxurious Jacuzzi spa. In the evening, enjoy a delicious meal at Country Valley Kitchen, a 24-hour restaurant located right next door to us. When you wake up, meet our friendly staff in the hotel lobby, where complimentary hot waffles and fresh coffee awaits you. After breakfast, our two outdoor heated pools and sundecks are perfect for a morning swim or an afternoon sunbathing session. Vagabond Inn Hotel Circle is located approximately seven miles from San Diego International Airport, one mile from San Diego Zoo, and two miles from Sea World and Old Town. Hotel amenities include two heated pools, spa services, and complimentary continental breakfasts. All rooms have hairdryers, irons and ironing boards, coffeemakers, dataport phones, clock radios, and cable TV. A limited number of microwaves and refrigerators are available to rent.

My family and I enjoyed our stay here, since it was close to the parks and several family restaurants. It was nice to relax while the kids were at the pool, in winter!
My daughter and I have stayed at this hotel before - about 3 years ago. Since then they have been upgrading. Although there were room upgrades going on during our stay we were never inconvenienced nor were we disturbed by any noise. The room was clean, smelled fine and had brand new beds that were ultra comfortable. We had a mini-fridge and microwave in the room along with the usual coffee maker, etc. which was a bonus as we are budget travellers. We had checked into the Motel 6 in Hotel Circle the previous day and the place was so horribly foul we began calling around to find another room. The clerk on the phone when we called here was pleasant and helpful. When we came to check in, the front desk clerk let us know that our room wasn't quite ready -we were early - but that he'd get it ready asap. When we got in the room it was such a lovely change from what we'd had and so much more than I was expecting for the price I was thrilled. My daughter and I took advantage of the choce of pools - we swam in both which are older but clean. The breakfast offered by the office was just fine for us - nothing elaborate but enough variety to suffice. All in all we were thrilled with our stay and look forward to coming back again. Since we have family in San Diego we've tried many hotels over the years and I would have to rate the Vagabond as one of the better value for money hotels in the Circle.
I STAYED HERE AND IT WAS THE WORST EXPIERIANCE OF MY LIFE. THE STAFF TREATED US LIKE THEY DIDNT TRUST US AND WAS DOING US A FAVOR BY LETTING US STAY THERE. I BOOK TWO QUEEN BEDS WHEN I GOT THERE IT WAS A QUEEN AND A FULL AN JERK FROM THE FRONT DESK CAME AND MEASURED THE BED AND TOLD ME "MAYBE THIS IS A QUEEN AND THIS IS A BIGGER QUEEN." IT WAS 6 INCHES IN DIFFRENCE BETWEEN THE TWO!!! HE SAID WELL ITS ONLY SIX INCHES IT DOESNT MATTER BUT WHEN YOUR SLEEPING TWO TO A BED IT MAKES A BIG DIFFRENCE. THEN HE TRIED TO TELL ME HE HAS A FULL AT HOME THATS HALF THE SIZE OF THAT BED SO I TOLD HIM ITS A TWIN THEN. HE GOT MAD AND WAS ABOUT TO LEAVE WHEN HE HEARD MY DOG AND ASKED IF I PAID THE PET CHARGE I TOLD HIM YEAH SO HE SAID WELL WE JUST SEE ABOUT THAT AND LEFT. THE ROOM SMELLED LIKE BAD ORANGE ROOM SPRAY. ONE OF THE NIGHT I DIDNT HAVE A SPOT AND I TOLD THE FRONT DESK AND I WAS TOLD ITS NOT THEIR PROBLEM MAYBE I SHOULD COME BACK SOONER. ONE NIGHT I WENT TO GET COFFEE AND I GRABBED 3 CUPS AND THE FRONT DESK ASKED WHY I GRABBED 3 CUPS WHEN THERE IS CUPS IN MY ROOM I TOLD THEM I CANT CARRY COFFEE IN MY HANDS THE SAID WELL YOU HAVE A POT IN YOUR ROOM USE IT. OH AND DID I MENTION I DIDNT GET A ICE BUCKET AND WHEN I ASKED FOR ONE I WAS GIVEN A PLASTIC BAG!!! DO NOT STAY HERE ITS THE WORST PLACE!!! THEY TREAT YOU LIKE CRAP AND DONT CARE ABOUT YOU
I WOULDNT STAY HERE AGAIN IF IT WAS FREE!!! THE HOTEL STAFF ARE A BUNCH OF JERKS THE ROOM SMELLED SO BAD. AND THE HOTEL IS OLD AND VERY DIRTY. THE PILLOWS HAD MAKEUP ON THEM AND WERE SO THIN IT WAS LIKE NOT HAVING ONE. PARKING STINKS YOU HAVE TO CIRCLE 3 OR 4 TIMES TO FIND A SPOT. BEDS WERE VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND ITCHY. A/C WASNT THAT GOOD AND HAD A WEIRD SMELL COMING OUT OF IT. COFFEE POT WAS DITY AND STAINED AND THE ROOM WAS VERY SMALL. DID I MENTION THE HOTEL STAFF WAS RUDE WELL LET ME TELL YOU AGAIN THEY WERE RUDE AND TREATED YOU LIKE DIRT AND DIDNT CARE IF YOU WERE HAPPY OR NOT. THEY WOULD GIVE YOU DIRTY LOOKS IF YOU CAME IN PAST 9PM AND DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT SLEEPING LATE THE NOISE AT THAT PLACE IS SO LOUD YOU NEED EAR PLUGS. I ASKED IF THEY HAVE ANY TIPS ON WHAT TO DO FOR THE DAY THEY SAID NO YOU SHOULD PLAN BEFORE COMING HERE. REAL A HOLES DONT STAY HERE ITS NOT WORTH IT. THEY ARE MEAN OVERPRICED AND NOT A SAFE OR HEALTHY PLACE TO STAY!!!
Very old, worn out furniture. Towels, blankets are too old that you can see almost the other side of them. Our room was supposed to be non-smoking but I could not sleep the first night because it smelled awful. I called the reception next morning and they told me they can not give my money back for the remaining two nights but they can change our room to another one. A friend of ours came to pick us up and she could not even sit on the chair in the room because there were stains on the chair and it looked gross.
The pool was suppose to close at 1000PM, but didn't until after 1130PM. The noise kept us awake. Stay in room away from pool. Also, we had to call 3 times and wait more than 3 hours to get towels. The next day after returning from all day at he zoo, we wanted to shower. Not enough towels. Had to call, wait nearly an hour. When I ask why, the employee said they were in the dryer.
