I've stayed at the Old Town Inn on my last two trips to San Diego and will gladly stay there during my next trip. If you're on a "driving" vacation (not just there on business downtown), the location is excellent for not only getting around the city (everything-- including Coronado--is less than 15 minutes away), but you've got incredibly easy...

When you drive up you wonder if you are coming to the right place. It looks to be on a main road and in an industrial area. All is OK however, the road is not very busy and the old town is about ten minutes walk away. As is public transport. We thought old town was the best thing about... More

This place looks like a real old fashioned motel. Stairs on the outside and rooms open directly to the outside. That is the only negative thing I can say about the place. It is kept extremely clean and neat, all of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. It is walking distance to Old Town, which is a great convenience... More

We spent two nights at the Old Town Inn this past weekend. It was a quick, low-cost getaway, and the Old Town Inn fit very well into this criteria. Caveat: the neighborhood is non-existent (on a stretch of lonely highway which edges the city and airport) but it IS within walking distance of Old Town and the Red Car station,... More

Lovely, charming hotel walking distance to Old Town San Diego. Across the street from train, bus and trolley transportation service. Service at the front desk was excellent. The room was very clean and comfortable .We loved the central location. We had 2 cars--no problem parking. The continental breakfast was delicious ( waffles, oatmeal, fruit, eggs, etc). The neighborhood has lots... More

Good and clean hotel. Perfect choice if you like to move by car, very close to Old Town San Diego and not far from Downtown San Diego and beaches. I had some trouble to reserve a room on their web-site but they fixed my reservation manually and email me the confirmation. It's an old hidden style gem surrounded by the... More

I had just about given up looking for a place that had free parking and breakfast included in a good location when I spotted this gem. I am very impressed. Sure the economy room was small and very little bathro0m counter space, but everything else was wonderful. Quite/comfortable room. Very helpful/pleasant front desk people.

We all loved this small but superbly run hotel so close to the Old Town and a short drive from Sea World. Although the location initially looked a bit industrial, it was in fact s great base to do so many of the things we wanted, including a short drive into the city/harbour. The rooms were spacious, the kids loved... More
