Post-Christmas Getaway
The hotel was exceptionally clean and well maintained; the room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. Breakfast foods offered differed from day to day and each day a variety to select from, very tasty, warm foods kept warm and cold foods refrigerated. Wonderful breakfast. Cookies and hot cocoa were offered from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. daily and were a great treat to look forward to after being out wandering the city all day. We arrived early at the hotel on Thursday December 26 and were greated warmly by Eduardo who allowed us to check in early which we so appreciated. We were also given complimentary garage parking because of the ongoing construction surrounding the hotel, we also so appreciated this gift to us. Eduardo was most helpful, courteous and friendly as was Jovanna who we spoke with at the front desk to check out on December 28. I had many questions regarding our final bill and Jovanna was very helpful, friendly and courteous; she adequately explained and confirmed to us the process of checking out, what was charged or not to be charged, something very important to us as we had experienced a few "checkout surprise charges" at other hotels around the country. We also struck up a very short conversation with Anita who was taking care of the breakfast foods as well as cleaning tables and greeting customers, a very hard-working friendly & gracious woman. We will definitely be returning to the Fairfield Inn & Suites in the very near future as we travel to San Diego often.

Great for access to Old Town, airport and Rt. 5.
Christmas Eve arrival. Easy check-in. $30 parking, so we did street parking. Not many open spots on the street Cute complex which is set up with lighted courtyards with lots of seating and nice view from most rooms. Not of hassle extending stay a day because I booked thru a 3rd party.

The staff is amazing from beginning to end! The place is clean, beautiful, magical at night with the courtyard lights. The Fairfield has all the comforts of home... my new favorite hotel! I will definitely look forward to staying here again when in San Diego. I love the hot tub and the pool is heated to 85 degrees, and is perfect for December in San Diego. The shops, museums, and Mexican dining a walk up the street are fantastic and authentic Mexican. Just absolutely wonderful! Thank you 🥰♥️

There was a lot of construction around the property and on the property. The jacuzzi was closed because of broken filter covers and some of the staff did not even know. There isn't a parking lot and you either have to park on the street or pay $30 a day for a parking garage. Our room was not accessible by an elevator so we had to use the stairs. However, the staff did comp our parking garage fees because of this. Are air conditioner was not working when we arrived but the staff was very professional and responded quickly when we ask them to repair it. By the time we had returned back from dinner it was working. The staff was wonderful but the facilities were nothing like any other Fairfield/Marriott I've ever stayed at... Unclean and very shabby.
