Affordable option in San Diego
The Fairfield Inn & Suites in Old Town San Diego is a good choice. It's location lends walking into Old Town and easily accessiable from Hwy 5. It very secure and does have onsite parking for $15 a night. Staff were friendly but had a hard time keeping up with cleaning the rooms (at least the Tuesday that I checked in). They recommended a restaurant in Old Town and provided a discount coupon. Pool and gym onsite. Mini mart/deli accross the street. The parking/check in is a little hard to find at first. You must park first in front of the lobby on the street, check in and then you can key the keycard to access the garage. Great affordable option for San Diego.
