“If you are a millionaire or a snob, go elsewhere!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

person found this review helpful

If you are an everyday person that is looking for a clean, comfortable, friendly atmosphere, look no further! We spend very little time in our room. We visit San Diego because it is warm and we can enjoy being outside! The people that are complaining about this property sem to be the kind that cannot be made happy, no matter what you do for them. We THOROUGHLY enjoyed our week long stay here from Jan 29th - Feb 5th. We we in the old section so the room was small but CLEAN! We weren't disturbed by noise any night we were there, very close to transportation, Old Town Proper, beaches, shopping... the list goes on! We rented a car and had NO TROUBLE with parking, security, getting to and from the Inn. We felt safe any hour of the day and are already planning our return next winter! and YES, we will be staying at the Old Town Inn!

Room Tip: No bad rooms as far as we could tell!

The Old Town Inn is a great example of what an older facility can be. It is well maintained with lovely landscaping, excellent service at great rates.
Close to the airport, trolley system and the Old Town area this is a find.

Dear Valued Guest - Thank you for your review. We are proud that we are always near the top of TripAdvisor in spite of the fact that we are an independent, older hotel with very competitive rates.

We are a AAA 2-star rated hotel property, with many free amenities that you may end up having to pay in more expensive hotels. We offer free wireless internet, free parking, free coffee and tea service all day, DVD players in all guestrooms, a thoughtfully selected free movie library and a nice complimentary expanded continental breakfast that includes hard boiled eggs, fresh waffles, a variety of freshly baked bagels and pastries, cereals, oatmeal, fruit salad, juices and coffee. Being across the street from the Transit/Trolley Center also allows our guests to travel all over San Diego without moving their car. We’re central to many attractions, and we have some great extended stay specials!

It is sometimes a challenge to set the right expectations for our guests. I think we do a pretty good job on our website, and the majority of our guests have written honest reviews about their experience with us, what makes us standout from the rest and why they rate us so highly. TripAdvisor is all about guest satisfaction and we tend to rate highly with guests who want to get the most for their dollar, value cleanliness, appreciate genuine hospitality and have done their research.

Thank you again for taking the time to review us and for complimenting our hotel. We hope that you choose us again when visiting our lovely San Diego.

Sincerely,

John Lyon

“Enjoyed the Old Town Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

My husband and I stayed 3 nights at the Old Town Inn the first week of January 2012. I was pleasantly surprised. The property was well kept, included an extended breakfast and was very close to Old Town. There was a small pool but we did not use it. You could park in front of your room which I liked. If we did not stay here we probably never would have known Old Town existed.

Dear Valued Guest - Thank you very much for taking the time to review us on TripAdvisor. It is an honor to read your comments and to know that you enjoyed your stay with us and that you were pleasantly surprised. The owners, the management, and the staff take great pride in keeping the property well maintained and the grounds lush and inviting. We are very pleased that you found our parking to be accessible and convenient. Thank you for mentioning the pool as well, it is heated if you feel like a dip next time you visit. I’m happy to know that you discovered Historic Old Town while with us. The Old Town Inn is in a unique area for a hotel, the owner likes to say that, “We are nowhere but minutes to everything!” We are walking distance to Old Town, less than 10 minutes from the airport, Sea World, the San Diego Zoo and Downtown Gaslamp.

It was a pleasure to have had you as our guest. We hope to see you again soon at the Old Town Inn San Diego.

“All the comforts of home!”

My wife and I chose Old Town Inn to celebrate out 15th Wedding Anniversary. I was looking for the exact "treat" for this occasion. From the first moment of voice contact with Rebecca at Old Town Inn's front desk, I knew this was our place. It turned out to be a Perfect 10! A "Homey" clean, friendly atmosphere. The jacuzzi suite was "Paradise in a Room."
Our entire experience was wonderful. And the price was extremely fair.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wanted to experience what a hotel should feel like.
Thanks to everyone at Old Town Inn for contributing to a "Perfect" 15 year celebration of our 15 years of a glorious marriage.
