    Dated property, you can hear the other guests move and the mattresses were uncomfortable unlikeother Marriott, the maintenance can be better but was acceptable. Rats presence at pool and courtyard. The fire pit lighter was not working. They excel in the breakfast/café area. The cleaning crew was very friendly and approachable. When we asked front desk for extra blankets, they said they had none and gave us bed covers/comforters. Underground Parking fee is $30 a day, but there's Sewer issues that leave your car interior smelling the same, my son got sick almost vomited. They shouldn't charge a fee with such a smell. The cost does not match the experience. You can find better for the price.

    The property is clean and comfortable (beds/pillows are just okay-ish). The front desk staff is professional. The couple of ladies working breakfast every morning are always smiling and helpful. The housekeeping staff was pleasant and attentive. There is plenty of outdoor space in the center of the complex; a firepit and lighting turned on every evening, tables outside to enjoy breakfast or just be outside. The pool is clean and well kept. It's 3.5 ft all around so great for my kids, but wasn't overly busy. Very walkable. Old Town is a great way to spend the evening or a day. Restaurants, bars, shops, museum, live music. The beds and pillows aren't anything special.

    The location was a 5 minute walk to Old Town, but the attractions were closed. The room was spacious but they gave us an accessible room that we did not reserve for. The bathroom looked clinical with all the accessible parts. The second day, they fixed our bed and cleared garbage and gave us fresh towels but the floors were not cleaned. there were used floss on the floor. The room location was very noisy and could hear people opening and closing the corridor doors. Breakfast was the usual and it was good. One of the bedroom lights did not work. I did not like the room. I could not sleep in because of the noise. We did street parking and no need to pay the 30 dollar parking. Staff was good. NOTE: the credit card hold is for 5 to 7 days.

    The location to the Airport and the Marine base were excellent since we were there for a Marine Graduation and it is also close to a variety of Restraints. The negative was that you are charged $100.00 on check in for any possible incidentals charged to the room but when you check out, they say it could take 4 to 5 days to receive the credit when it wasn't used.

    We stayed here for my son’s graduation from SDSU and it was a perfect location. It’s so close to the trolley line that takes you directly to campus and also takes you to downtown San Diego and Little Italy. The location is sooo good! So many great Mexican restaurants in Old Town that are right down the street. The hotel staff was super friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. We would definitely start here again.

    This was a nice quiet hotel that was so very convenient to the Old Town. The staff was very helpful and advised me that on street parking was good, so I didn't need to pay for on-site parking. We were able during our time there to park just across the street from the hotel entrance. The room was exceptionally well maintained by the staff. The pool was enjoyable on warm days and restaurants in the Old Town were very convenient. We will definitely stay there on another trip.

    We spent 3 nights with 2 kids and everything went well! Check in was fast, the location was good for us to walk to old town and drive to sea world and the zoo. Underground secure parking was also nice and easy. The pool was heated very well and even on a 65 degree day it was great! Breakfast was a little small but everything was good and my kids don’t need a ton of variety anyway. Overall a very affordable, cute little place to call home while exploring San Diego!

    Excellent location 10 min from Old Town. Good condition property but they were working on some units while we were there - nailers going off during the daytime. Mostly updated but some of the doors between buildings were in bad shape. Comfy bed, remodeled bathrooms, nice big toiletries, TV was maybe too big to be used while sitting at the desk. Tip - take the flyer shuttle from SAN to Old Town for free. Wish I had know there’s plenty of free street parking or I would have rented a car. There’s also an AVIS couple blocks from Old Town to avoid the airport fees. Breakfast was good with DIY waffles, eggs, sausage, cold options, oatmeal bar with lots of toppings, whole apples & bananas, muffins - good spread. Can get crowded waiting for waffles at times but never came away hungry. It’s far enough out of Old Town that it’s quiet but close enough for multiple trips into the train and dining. Almost all dining in area is Mexican so plan to head to Little Italy or elsewhere for more options. Tip - Use the liquor store across street for a 2l for about the same as a 20oz bottle in the lobby.

Rooms were clean and ammenities were well kept. There is complimentary breakfast buffet served from 7-10 am which is a big bonus. Overall, great place to stay in.

Breakfast was always fresh, warm, and they also provide gluten-free options, which was wonderful. Our dislikes/ complaints was the hot tub being out of order, it had water in it but we were told it was closed. Also, the elevator went down on day two and it was never fixed. The workout room was closed and unable to be used . They do offer a near by property for the hot tub and the gym but that wasn’t very accommodating. They are doing renovations on the entire property, so I’m sure that will all be fixed very soon.

    The rooms were clean and appeared to be recently remodeled. The breakfast was good. The staff was hit and miss with one exceptional employee. The fitness room was out of order with no end date in sight. The television signal would pixelate badly at night. We were unaware, but their maid service was every other day. The parking area was horrendously small for even a regular full size pickup truck. As a whole, we might consider staying here again, if nothing else was available in the area.

    Well, this is overall a great hotel, staff was very friendly and accomodating. They have a great breakfast too, and I loved my room, I had a suite on the 1st floor. The bed was very comfortable. The only issue I have is their Jacuzzi was out of service and so was their Gym! I booked this hotel knowing they had a Jacuzzi I could use after my race, I came to San Diego to do a 10 K run. Anyways...I learned. It is best to call the facility directly before you go just to make sure ALL will be available for you. Expedia do not know these details.

The location is very fantastic and my room was great and housekeeping was very good at their job.

The staff was kind and accommodating throughout our stay, which made a positive difference. The room was cleaned every other day, which was fine for our needs. The pool and hot tub were a nice bonus, especially after a long day out. The location is very convenient for exploring Old Town, with lots to see and do nearby. The hotel itself is older and appears to be in the process of being updated. Rooms are quite small, but manageable if you don’t plan to spend much time inside.

    I was quite surprised at this property. The Fairfield Marriott was attractive and comfortable. The breakfast is very good and the price was right! The only drawback was to have to self park in a very tight tight underground garage which costs $30 a night. However, there is usually close by street parking at no cost.

    The hotel is old and undergoing renovations. The parking lot is very small and they charge extra for it, but the biggest problem is the pool pump: it sounds like a running ship engine, and the vibration can be felt not only in the room but throughout the entire floor.

    The room is in a good location for those traveling by car. Keep in mind, though, that the Old Town area is hilly. We travel to the San Diego area by Amtrak, which stops at the Old Town Transportation Center, or by airplane, with a free shuttle connection from the airport to the Old Town Transportation Center. From there, we had to walk several blocks up a moderate incline to the hotel's location, which was somewhat tiring for us 72-year-olds pulling our luggage. If you're young and fit, that might not be a problem for you. But for us, it moved the Fairfield down on our list of desired San Diego area hotels.

The ceiling in the bathroom had visible mold and cracked tiles. The room has one small garbage can in the bathroom only. Absoutely the worst!!!! I took photos to send to corporate. The place had non-working out door fountains. I will definetly let others know to STAY AWAY from this hotel. They had loud constructiong going on, but they should have shut the place down. Please have corporate contact me to discuss.

The location was great, if you are looking for a hotel near the airport. The hotel did have a balcony, but when my children stepped onto it, there was a crack in the floor, and the substructure was soft. I did not think it was safe for my kids to be out on the balcony.

    Staff were very nice. Unfortunately there was contractor painting going with wet paint and plastic taping. We could not avoid this as there was only one elevator and our room was not ground floor. Felt like we had to walk and walk and to get to the room. Had to walk all over first floor courtyard, get to the one elevator, then walk again thru several doors to get to room. Might be ok in summer or nicer weather but not on cold windy days. Parking not that accessible on street and daily parking fee for hotel garage gets expensive. Breakfast was good. Great assortment of hot food.

    It’s a “ok” hotel. I def had higher expectations for it being smack in the middle of one of the nicest tourist places in San Diego! It’s older, a bit run down, our room smelled like an old motel. Def needs a remodel/upgrade in everything! Bed comfort wasn’t the greatest. Staff was nice. If you dont find street parking, you have to park underground for $30 a night, seems a bit steep for the overall experience of this place. Will I be staying here again? Probably not. Just felt a bit locked in, gated everywhere and can’t get back in without your key.

    I was pretty disappointed with the condition inside of the rooms. Lots of little details with chipped paint, patch jobs on the ceiling, the mini fridge was cracked on the inside. Additionally, the doors on the first level swing so incredibly loud, it rattles windows. And the powerwashing at 7AM is criminal. We were not told about any construction beforehand, so we were woken up at 8am by a painter putting paper and tape on our window. Loved Old Town, but the stay was not great. ALSO IT'S $30 A NIGHT FOR PARKING ON TOP OF WHAT YOU ALREADY PAY FOR THE HOTEL????

    The swimming pools were gross due to the area. The drains do not work. So there's just massive puddles everywhere, with a food crumbs and stuff in it. This was for the 2 days that I was there, totally gross. I even went at eight o'clock the next morning and the puddles were still there.They had not been drained all the way. The rest of the hotel was very clean

    Parking a full size truck could be tricky with the low ceiling, pipes and hvac hanging even lower. Nice walk down to Old Town very pleasing. Interior hallways and guest room doors unsightly, could use a paint job for dexterity purposes. Rooms were clean and spacious.

    Overall had a nice stay with the exception of the toilet. It was broken and kept running, never filled back up with water. We had to manually fix it each time we used it. We went to the desk three times to report and each time told it was fixed. It would work once and then we were back to fixing it manually. Not what you want to do while you are away. A bit disappointing.

    The staff was amazing in every way and served my family so well. I can’t thank them enough for helping us enjoy a beautiful stay truly Old Town San Diego is middle ground to all the fun attractions and because we had a vehicle we were able to visit all the stops here in SD. We went to the Balboa Park, Zoo, Petco Park and La Jolla Shores for some fun in the sun. There so much to do in downtown and Seaport Village or Coronado Island. Well back to the property it was a fun stay

    The bed was horrible - it was time to be replaced. Extremely soft and you would roll into the middle of the bed. It was terrible. Both beds in our room were in this condition. Also, there needs to be better signage out front when parking to check in. The sign currently there states its for Uber or Lyft pickup or drop off. If one inadvertently goes in the driveway for the parking garage (which is a $30 per day charge) you cannot get in without a keycard. When trying to backup and park on the street, you will scrap and possibly damage the underneath of your vehicle due to the way the driveway was built unless you are able to a 3point turn. Very difficult!! More information regarding parking at this location needs to be communicated to those deciding to stay here

    Its great location next to Old Town made walking through that area—with plenty of dining options—fun and convenient. It’s a very basic hotel, however, with average breakfast foods. Our room was fairly dark, and the mattresses felt old—the kind you sink into. The rubber on one arm of the rolling desk chair was partially missing.

    I have to admit I expected a bit more as far as the room for the price we paid, almost $400 a night. We did not need an ADA room, but we wouldn't have cared....except the ADA room #141 is right next to a access door from the outside to room nubered in the lower 100's. It was very noisy all night with people entering and exiting through that door, which slams shut. Also the AC is quite loud and the room outdated. Even with the location being in Old Town, it was overpriced for the quality of the rooms. It reminded me more of a freeway offramp Super 8 unfortunately.

    I booked this hotel based off previous positive reviews, and I’m glad I did! 5min walk to old town, so many restaurants and shops, absolute vibe. My kids loved it, we didn’t get to try the pool! But definitely at our next stay here, complimentary breakfast was good! Coffee was delicious.! Staff was more than helpful, the rooms were clean! The beds were very comfortable, only thing is that they do not have free parking on the property. They have underground parking below the hotel and that is $30 a night. Which I don’t think is fair to charge PER night. Maybe a $30pass for your entire stay would be better. But that didn’t bother or affect us because we found front parking on the street. Luckily. But overall great stay! Great staff, great location, will definitely be back

    We booked 3 nights. First 2 were great; no issues. 3rd day we needed to get a clean set of bath towels. Went down to the front desk and were told housekeeping would bring them to our room. No towels were delivered. In the morning, went down to front desk and was told they were out of clean towels. Are you kidding me?! Asked housekeeping person on our floor for towels and was again told they were out. Multi-million dollar operation and can't keep a sufficient supply of towels? I will definitely keep this experience in my memory bank for future consideration.

    Location, Location, is the best!! you are right at the beginning of the Old Town shopping and dining strip. The breakfast is great and the staff is wonderful. The smell they have emitting from a sprayer in the hallways smells great!! It is definitely an old property so you have to keep that in mind. However the walls are thicker because of that so we never heard any neighbors or people walking by our room in the hallway which was nice for a change. If you have a high profile car you will NOT be able to park in the basement parking garage. We were in a rental pick up truck and only cleared by a half inch in places so defintely call beforehand to make sure your car will fit.

    Location is convenient near airport and Old Town. However all hotels in San Diego are relatively close to the airport. The exterior is very old but rooms are fully renovated. Staff was all great. In our shower though had a piece of blood that scrubbed off with Clorox wipes myself as didn’t want to change rooms. That was the major gross and downside.

    This time a couple glitches. Bad internet froze the TV several times as well as my electronic devices. Also, I had put my delicious dinner leftovers in the fridge only to find in the morning the fridge was turned off! I hadn't checked because it's always on. When I mentioned these while checking out, Lindon (?) was so kind and accommodating. Like always, excellent service.

    Our overall experience was great! The aesthetics of the hotel is wonderful. A little outdated on the inside, but it was ok. I loved the fact that it has double doors that open to a small balcony! The underground parking was pretty nerve-wrecking as well. The height clearance was VERY low! We drive a large suv so it was scary, I’m not sure I would like to park out on the street though.

    I would rate this stay as okay. The check in was somewhat difficult as there are only a couple of spaces on the curb for 15 minute parking to check in. These spots were taken by cars not checking in so we had to double park. The girl who checked us in was not very very friendly. She wasn't unfriendly but also wasn't as welcoming as I would expect. Our room also wasn't the cleanest. We found a blueberry on the floor and it looked like somone spilled a fruit drink on the bedspread. The breakfast was good and the coffee was also good. The location is also convenient and very close to old town. Parking in the underground parking was small and hard to navigate, it was also a little pricey. In all, the stay wasn't bad. It wasn't the best but it also wasn't amazing. I feel that the 8.6 it received is a little high. I would rate it closer to a 7.5
