Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott San Diego Old Town
Friendly service and a free shuttle to the Zoo, Sea World, and the airport make this older Spanish-style hotel a comfortable hub for exploring San Diego. The pool and relaxed atmosphere add to its appeal, though the hotel itself shows its age. It's a practical choice if you value service and location over modern decor.
Four Points by Sheraton San Diego Downtown Little Italy
The Four Points by Sheraton San Diego Downtown Little Italy presents a mixed picture. It's set in Little Italy with city and bay views and has a 24-hour fitness center and outdoor heated pool. But Yelp shows a 2.1/5 rating from 20 reviews, and the listing suggests it may be permanently closed. The owner's description on Yelp mentions stylish rooms and an on-site restaurant, but that contradicts the Sheraton branding. If you're considering staying here, proceed with caution. The pool and views are appealing, but the low rating and potential closure are red flags. For a more reliable LGBTQ-friendly option nearby, check out the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego.
