Very nice for the price...clean, great shower and very comfortable bed. They have shuttle service from and to airport. Nice continental breakfast (we have had better but fine and free). Once we were there we cancelled the rental car since its walking distance to San Diego transit center. Only a 5-10 min walk to old town where there's lots of... More

The Fairfield Inn San Diego was very nice, well above the normal standard for that chain. I was in a suite, which was well designed for convenience, and was impressed with the decor. The pool and whirlpool were great, and the location - in the heart of Old Town - was perfect. They also have a free airport shuttle that... More

My mother, brother, and I surprised my sister this past weekend with an overnight stay here for her birthday. I'm very glad I chose here, because the overall stay was very nice. Before I begin, I want to mention that when you first drive up to the front of the hotel on Jefferson, park in the typically-empty loading zone. Don't... More

This is an approximate 20 year old property, formerly a Ramada Inn and has been a Fairfield for the last year. Great location right off the interstate and directly at the mouth of Old Town San Diego. One of the closets Marriott’s to the airport (10 minutes) and was the most inexpensive at the time I booked. The outside architecture... More

Loved my room facing the courtyard, mostly quiet except one night I'll swear there was an elephant staying in the room above me and could clearly hear people having it off in the next room for a bit as well. I was lucky to be staying in an end room so only had to deal with the noise from two... More

We reserved 25 rooms. No complaints (that's rare). Lovely garden setting, eat breakfast in the garden area if you like. recently re-modeled w/ great up grades, better than we've seen in some of the 5 stars we've booked. great location for Old Town, it's in walking distance. No restaurant, but the Continental breakfast is better than usual, includes Jimmy Dean... More

Stayed here for one night with my family, which included 2 small children. We checked in fairly late, at 9PM, and the receptionist was very friendly and efficient. We were assigned 2 rooms right next to each other, as requested. We were a bit concerned with parking, as we drove here from Orange County. We had NO PROBLEM finding free... More

The rooms here are poorly soundproofed and you can hear peoples TV in adjacent rooms as well as above. The exhaust fan in the bathroom didn't work either. The rooms are also quite small for the price ( I paid $147.00 for two queens + $20.00 for parking in the garage. I also noticed that the elevator permits has expired... More
