The Spotlight on Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott San Diego Old Town

Comfort Meets Convenience in Historic Old Town

Modern comfort meets classic charm at the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott San Diego Old Town. Nestled in the heart of San Diego’s historic Old Town, this stylish hotel blends Spanish-inspired architecture with contemporary amenities. You’ll be just minutes from major attractions like SeaWorld, the San Diego Zoo, and some of the city’s most popular concert venues.
With a relaxing outdoor pool, hot tub, and complimentary internet in all rooms, it’s a great base to unwind between shows or explore the city.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a top pick for concert-goers thanks to its easy access to downtown San Diego and major highways. Most venues are just a quick rideshare away, and the 12:00 PM checkout means you can sleep in after a late night. Free high-speed internet and modern in-room tech like iPod docks and flat-screen TVs make pre-show prep a breeze, while the quiet Old Town location provides a peaceful place to rest after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends traveling together for a festival weekend
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performance
  • Couples making it a music-filled getaway
  • Fans wanting a quieter space post-concert
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

Start your day right with the hotel’s free daily breakfast—perfect after a night of dancing. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, you’re just steps away from plenty of walkable eateries in Old Town, including local Mexican favorites and casual pubs. Though the hotel lacks 24/7 room service, late-night bites are easy to find nearby.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re close to a variety of bars, lounges, and live music spots in Old Town and downtown San Diego. Whether you want to keep the night going or grab a quiet drink, you’ll find something to suit your vibe.

What People Say

Reviewers love the clean, spacious rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location. Many guests highlight the easy access to downtown and Old Town attractions, and the comfortable beds get frequent shoutouts—especially after long nights out. The complimentary breakfast and pool area are also popular perks.

Areas for Improvement

Parking can be a bit tight, and there’s an added fee for it, which some guests found inconvenient. While the location is quiet, some rooms near the courtyard can pick up sound from the pool area during the day.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a comfortable, affordable, and well-located stay near San Diego’s top music venues, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott San Diego Old Town hits all the right notes.

Disliked: A little noisey with some kids running and talking loud but not too bad.

Great overall stay, bathrooms can...

Liked: Great location, walking distance to every attraction in Old Town San Diego; but far enough to be quiet, even on a busy weekend.
Disliked: Since parking is limited, the cost is a bit pricey but very safe. Weekend costs of the room can be high but the location helps to set you at ease.
