Handlery Hotel

4/10 Poor

"Staff was very helpful and nice, it is just an older property."

Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town

10/10 Excellent

"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."

E-Z 8 Motel Old Town

2/10 Terrible

"We were not pleased. There was no phone ports near sleeping area, no water, no soap and complimentary shampoo. No coffee pot, refrigerator was on and over iced. No pillow cases on pillows, one thin bed cover without blanket. The phone was there but not working. Loud noises all night long from the plumbing or showering from another room, an sounds from construction and the train. Homeless all around the area leading us not to use the spa as someone was hanging around the area of the spa. Won’t be back. "
