Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* San Diego (Old Town) La Quinta Old Town

[spederson]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what this property might be. It looks like it could either be the Fairfield Inn (formerly Mission Inn, formerly Holiday Inn Express), or La Quinta. But La Quinta has a quite a bit lower reviewer rating.

I thought I was forgetting something--it's $61! Sorry about that...

Of the two i'd slightly favor the Fairfield Inn, but you should at least be prepared for either.

Thanks! It did seem more likely to be the Fairfield (Marriott) to me as well, as Hotwire was showing $150 as the usual standard price for that room--rates for the Fairfield for that date on their site (139, 159) were much closer to that than those for La Quinta (93).

So I was kind of hoping for the Fairfield, as apparently it is all newly redecorated and looks really quite nice, but it turned out to be:

La Quinta Old Town/Airport

2.5*

03/27 - 03/28

$64 + tax ($77)

Smoke Free Rooms

Airport Shuttle

Complimentary Breakfast

Pool(s)

Laundry Facilities (self-service)

High-Speed Internet Access

I see that on the BB Priceline list, the only 2.5* hotel listed in the Old Town bidding area is the former Mission Inn/formerly Holiday Inn Express...now the Fairfield). No one's posted it as a win in ages, but 2.5* is currently showing as an option in the bidding form. Maybe I should have gone that route! Oh, well, La Quinta will be fine. It's not wildly fancy but very clean and apparently the free breakfast is good, we're getting in late and leaving fairly early. Even with taxes, still $20 less than rack rate. Apparently it is $10 parking, but they have an airport shuttle so might even just get that there and back and go pick up the car the next day.

Thanks for your help!
