Great Value!!
I stayed at the Vagabond Hotel Circle when I came into town for a conference at the San Diego convention center in downtown San Diego. I decided to save some money and live a little far away from the conference. The actual distance was about 6 miles and the route was at the most 15 minutes by car between 7 and 8 am. 
The property was fantastic. It was very well maintained by both repair and cleanliness. The King room were very nice with expected amenities. Breakfast was basic but fine for me who was on the go early am. The front desk service was personable and helpful. The maids refreshed the rooms each day to perfection. The free amenities I enjoyed was the breakfast, in-room safe, and above average toiletries. The room was good size, good furnishings, and perfectly sanitized. 
I was very satisfied with the money I spent at the hotel. I would not mind returning back to this hotel on my return visit. It seems to be very convenient to all the attractions-- Sea World, Balboa Park, Downtown San Diego etc. I actually saved about 150 dollars a night by not staying in the convention area. The posted pictures are accurate to my room and the external property.
