The Spotlight on Motel 6 San Diego - Hotel Circle

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from San Diego's Music Scene

Modern, no-frills, and super convenient, Motel 6 San Diego - Hotel Circle is a smart pick for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without breaking the bank. Located just a mile from Old Town and within a 5-mile radius of downtown’s most iconic spots like the Gaslamp Quarter, SeaWorld, and the San Diego Convention Center, this motel keeps you connected to the city’s buzzing music and nightlife scene. With an outdoor pool, pet-friendly rooms, and easy highway access, it’s a relaxed base for your San Diego music adventure.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a short drive from some of San Diego’s top live music venues — think downtown clubs, outdoor amphitheaters, and intimate indie stages. The motel’s location off Hotel Circle means quick freeway access for late-night Uber or Lyft rides. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out, there’s enough flexibility to settle in before the show and sleep off the encore. Rooms are basic but quiet, giving you a solid place to crash after a loud night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends road-tripping for a weekend gig
Solo travelers catching a must-see tour stop
Couples looking for a simple, central base
Fans needing a quiet, no-hassle retreat after a show
Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than lodging

Food and Drink Options

While Motel 6 doesn’t have an on-site restaurant, you’re close to plenty of late-night dining spots in Old Town and Mission Valley. Fast food, casual sit-downs, and even 24-hour diners are all within a short drive or delivery range. There’s coffee available in the lobby, and the area has several breakfast joints perfect for refueling after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You’re a quick lift away from the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego’s nightlife hub packed with bars, lounges, and music venues. Whether you're into rooftop cocktails, local dive bars, or catching another set after the main show, you’ll find something to keep the night going. Back at the motel, it’s quiet enough to unwind, but still close enough for spontaneous plans.

What People Say

Guests love the convenient location and affordable rates. Reviewers often mention how easy it is to get downtown or to nearby venues. The rooms are described as clean and simple, and travelers appreciate the pet-friendly policy and free parking. It’s not luxury, but it delivers solid value for concert-focused stays.

Areas for Improvement

The motel is pretty basic — no frills or fancy extras. Some guests mention that the Wi-Fi isn’t always reliable, and the walls can be a bit thin depending on your neighbors. But if you’re here for the shows, not the spa, that’s easy to overlook.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers looking for a budget-friendly, well-located stay in San Diego, Motel 6 Hotel Circle hits all the right notes.

Poor

Disliked: Staff professionalism needs more work. He was not friendly nor welcoming and I nearly took business elsewhere. He offered no information concerning amenities and quite frankly rather rude.
