Clean hotel, decent rooms, small bathrooms; Very easy access to freeway and walk to Old Town; Parking garage underneath is tight, especially for larger vehicles to drive around; Need more help at the front desk as usually one or two people were trying to do everything from checking in to making reservations on the phone; Still needs touching up here...

Our family spent five days at the Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town. The hotel was very clean and within walking distance to Old Town. The hotel staff was excellent. Very helpful from the time you check in until your departure. The shuttle service was available to all our destinations, so there was no need to rent a... More

When my first choice airport hotel was sold out, I was forced to activate Plan B. Deterred by traveler reviews – not to mention the $150 rate + parking– I steered clear of the Courtyard Old Town. I settled on the Fairfield Inn Old town which was $40 cheaper. The hotel is conveniently located blocks from I-5 but far enough... More

Checking In: After a overnight flight from Honolulu, I got to the hotel at about 9:00 a.m. on a Friday morning. When I told the front desk person I wanted to check in, he... More

The grounds of the hotel were very attractive. Our room was clean and convenient. We enjoyed being able to open the doors to our courtyard balcony for fresh air. The pool and hot tub area were enjoyable. The staff at this hotel was very helpful. One of the managers, Joseph W., was great as he helped rescue our vacation from... More

Great location inside Old Town. If you are looking for a hotel that is not full service, just a clean, updated, compfortable place to stay, this is it. Walking distance to most restaurants. Try El Agave accross the street, real Mexican Food, not Americanized. I also recommend you ask for a room that over looks the courtyard, otherwise you'll have... More

We arrived late on the first night of our trip and were quickly checked in and sent to our rooms but the key cards didn't work. This was an ongoing issue the entire stay. Sometimes the keys would allow us onto the property, sometimes they wouldn't but almost never did the keys allow us to enter our room. After two... More

It is in old town and across the street is a nice resturant. The staff at check in were not helpful at all, they were rude, didn't even give us directions to where our room was and thought it funny that we took the elevators up to the building not connected to our room. The room itself had been renovated.... More

Great location in Old Town. This hotel is entirely refurbished in 2012, under new ownership. Everything comfortable, clean. Refrigerations and microwaves in room. The staff at this hotel is very friendly and accommodating. FREE INTERNET, YAY!
