Old Town

San Diego is our second home, so we try to visit at least once a year. Since Old Town is one of my…read morefavourite areas around town, I was pretty stoked to book our Friday, January 31, through Sunday, February 9, 2025 stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town. We stayed in Rooms 245 and 253 - read on. Below are the pros and cons of the experience: PROS: * On January 22, 2025, for redemption of a Premier Plus Free Night Award up to 35,000 points + 262,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, I reserved a Guest room with 1 King bed for 9 nights - no out of pocket expense, YAY! * After seeing the room rate per night lower, on January 30, I was able to cancel the redemption of 262,000 Marriott Bonvoy points and rebook the same reservation for a total of 254,000 points + the Premier Plus Free Night Award up to 35,000 points. I saved 8,000 points, double YAY!! * Aleandro checked us in. He was informative and friendly. The hotel was pretty booked that night, so we were assigned to Room 245, but he told us that we could call in the morning to move to another room once one freed up the next day. * We called the following day and Chris at the Front Desk was extremely helpful in getting us a new room. She even went to Room 245 to deliver to us the keys for Room 253. * Microwave, mini fridge, and coffee station in the rooms * All day complimentary iced water, coffee and tea available in the lobby * Onsite market in the lobby * We did not pay for the $30/night parking in the underground garage, but were able to find free street parking around the hotel. * Daily Free Buffet and Continental and Hot Breakfast * Very nice-looking property with fully functioning fountains and beautifully landscaped spacious courtyard * Front Desk team members Richard and Aleandro were super hospitable and amiable. We enjoyed conversations with them. * They are pet friendly, triple YAY! * On-site exercise room * Welcoming lobby with functional fireplace * Complimentary Wi-Fi * Outdoor Pool and Hot Tub * Location - I LOVE Old Town!! CONS: * Our first room, Room 245, was disappointingly run down and needed better attention from housekeeping; the ceiling squares at the entryway, between the closet and bathroom, were clearly old and needed to be replaced, the bathroom door and trim were also in bad shape, the bathtub was not thoroughly cleaned, etc. * Our second room, Room 253, was a major improvement, but I still gotta say - housekeeping didn't THOROUGHLY clean the toilets. * Room 253's walls were THIN; I could hear the neighbours talking, laundry spinning from the laundromat, and there was a constant banging from movement downstairs. * No safe in the rooms. Overall, I was very happy with our stay - awesome location, the property was wonderfully nice and well kept, our rooms were comfortable, and the front desk associates were remarkably affable. I would most definitely choose to stay at the Fairfield Inn & Suites San Diego Old Town again, especially since they are a pet-friendly hotel (We like to bring our doggies with us wherever we go). They are currently one of our favourite places to stay in San Diego. I hope to return soon.

In the first room, the tv didn't work, the shower didn't work and the bathroom wreaked of cigarette…read moresmoke. They moved us to another room. We asked upon the move if they could put the pack and play in the new room. (1) We let them know that we would not be around for the entire day, so they were welcome to put in any time, as long as it was before the time we got back, which we figured would be around 7ish. (2) Got back to the hotel man who helped us bring up our things said he would bring it right away when we saw the pack and play wasn't in the room. (3) The guy never came so we Called down and they said sure, they would have someone bring it up. We told them we were leaving again, so if they could put it in the room, they said yes. (4) We got back the second time and it wasn't in there, so we went down to the office and asked them for a 4th time and they said yeah they would bring it up right away. We left again and said we would be back around 10 so they could put it in there any time before then. They assured us it'd be in there when we got back. It wasn't. (5) We called down and they said sure thing, someone would bring it up. We waited and waited and no one showed up. (6) Husband had to go down there and physically wait while they brought it out and handed it to him. I don't think it should take 6 times to get a pack and play. They were doing renovations and that didn't bother us at all. It's nice on the outside and they do have a laundry facility which is nice when you have a 2 month old. Also, had 2 soap dispensers and 1 conditioner in the bathroom. No shampoo. Won't return to this hotel in the future.

Old Town

First of all, I really like Old Town and try to support businesses here. The Cosmopolitan has gone…read morethrough some tough times with the all the businesses being shut down for 2 years. We decided to make reservations to eat there for Thanksgiving and were looking forward to a similar experience we had years ago in the dining room. It didn't happen. We were charged 20% for the gratuity in advance (to reward staff for working on Thanksgiving) which is a risk to hope that you'll get service at that level. We didn't. It was a buffet of cold food (that should have been hot) and ambivalent staff with the exception of the turkey carver & Dee the host who were both very friendly. We were seated outside and asked for the overhead heaters to be turned on which never happened. We asked for water and went though the buffet line and had to juggle our plates and lift the lids of the chafing pans & serve ourselves while 3 male staff in white server jackets stood in the corner conversing loudly in Spanish and ignoring our presence. We returned to our seats and still had no water. Eventually after asking again, we got water. No one came by again for quite a while to notice our empty glasses so we asked for a pitcher of water since apparently everything was self service. We enjoyed each others company and paid our bill leaving a restaurant that we probably won't try again. It's a shame because it could be great and they do have the indoor dining room that really should be offered as an option. People who come to Old Town probably want to have an 1872 experience which we did have many years ago in the warmth and nostalgic dining room with good service which we happily left a 20% tip for. Sorry to say, service has left the restaurant. :( I just saw my review from 2011. What a difference: We went for dinner on Thanksgiving day. It was helpful to see the menu in advance online and looked forward to a relaxing intimate dinner that would take us back in time. We were greeted immediately on arrival in the lobby by a beautiful hostess in a period dress and she took us to our table. The cowboy era string bow-tied waiter arrived just after we were seated and took our drink order and another gentleman brought us water (liked his costume but not his gum chewing). We admired the furnishings and wallpaper and planned to tour the saloon & hotel after dinner. It was fun to see the happy families and couples enjoying a Thanksgiving from the 1860's. The hostess came by to welcome us and make sure service was good and chatted a bit. I had noticed that their facebook page announced the presence of Albert Seeley's great great grandson was expected. That's cool! I like experiencing and reliving history and had watched the restoration of the hotel and restaurant on our many visits to Old Town. We've had breakfast and lunch outside but never dinner inside. This was a new treat. Our appetizers were the shrimp cocktail and blue crabcake. I had the traditional entree of turkey with succulent breast slices and delicious dressing and mashed potatoes and asparagus accented with baby carrots. On the side was tangy cranberry with something added that may have been grapes- I'm not sure but it was yummy! Kathy had the boulaibase with ample portions of shrimp, scallops, calamari, and sausage with a delicious broth. She couldn't eat all of hers but I did! Dessert was bread pudding among several choices. I know the grandkids would have chosen the s'mores with graham crackers,chocolate and melted marshmellow! The entertainment was the staff in period costume, some of the guests as well were dressed in Old Town Garb, (maybe employees of other Old Town shops? and the piano player and accordian music. Very delightful- some day we'll stay at the Hotel to wake up back in time!

I grew up in San Diego and have been to Old Town Historic District MANY times, but this was our first seeing the inside of the hotel. It reminded me of a hotel you see at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, AZ. The Cosmopolitan Hotel was built in 1827. They offer Cosmo Happy Hour in their outdoor garden patio Wednesday -Saturday from 4pm-6:30pm (walk-ins only) no reservations. The garden is also available for wedding venues. The Cosmopolitan hotel has Saturday Brunch from 10am-2pm. If interested in taking an old vintage photography session, you would have to book it through Catherinesegura.com and select the size photo session of interest. Check it out! Happy Yelping :)

Liberty Station, Point Loma

Love this place for their massive outdoor area and their quaint indoor bar. I've been here a few…read moretimes and even hosted a small event of 20 people before. This time around, it was just the 3 of us, to chat over some wine and apps. Had their April featured Pinot, which was amazing (had 2 glasses). It's good to keep in mind that they only sell their flatbreads on certain days and unfortunately, they didn't serve it when we went. So, instead we had the crostinis, which is perfect if you want a little bit of everything, but not sure what to get. My friend got the chicken Caesar wrap, and it was a lot bigger than expected. As far as the ambience, there's seating all around the bar that's located in the middle. So it's convenient to just walk up to the bar to place your order. Servers and bartenders were friendly and quick. Overall this is a great laid-back place for small or large groups.

I wanted to update my review, as I have been back several times through the years. Since my…read moreinitial review, there have been several changes.... some better than others. First, I still really enjoy the Carruth Wine Garden. It is nice to have an outdoor space to drink wine right in the center of the city. In general there plenty of parking ,and it is dog friendly. As far as the wine, it is very good. I like some more than others. More recently, I have enjoyed the Unicorn Red Blend ( a longtime favorite) and the Syrah. I love that it is dog friendly, inside and out. My dog loves going there and she makes friends each time. A change that they made recently is that the main garden area is now child-free, which was a positive change in my options, as it had gotten a bit chaotic in the past with children not being very well supervised. The still have a family-friendly outdoor space. In the past, there was always live music when I came. I was there most recently on a Saturday evening and was disappointed that there was no music. Also, the prices have gone up ($18 per glass). Unfortunately, I found the pours to be somewhat inadequate, though it depended which staff member was pouring the wine. They do not allow for outside food, and only make certain dishes certain days of the week, which unfortunately doesn't allow for many options if you are hungry. Water is readily available inside and outside. All in all, it is a lovely place with good wine to come with friends and your 4-legged friends. It has gotten a bit pricey, and I do wish we could bring out own snacks, but I still enjoy going and am sure that I will be back.
