Homeless encampment at the front door. Garbage in the hallway. Children riding scooters in the hallway. Horrible smell. Noisy air conditioning unit. After checking in we decided to just go home.

We were going to orientation at CSU San Marcos and it was a 5 min driver to the campus. Very convenient. Also Outback steakhouse is next door and Spaghetti factory across the street which was great. Also the freeway is a block away so it makes travelling very easy.

Helpful staff. Very clean and modern hotel. Quiet and comfortable, we fell asleep as soon as we laid down the bed was SO comfy. Bathroom is very clean and nice with the walk in shower, had a nice scent to it also. Neighbourhood is safe and lots of restaurants around. Would definitely return or recommend

Fairfield Inn not standing behind Hotels.com
Hotels.com blotched the reservation - we were to have had 2 rooms and the Fairfield only received info for one. I had to pay for the 2nd room upon arriving as the Fairfield said they couldn't 'fix' the error with Hotels.com. They are YOUR partner and you s/not be making your guest pay 2x and seek refund. I'll not be using Marriott going forward
