Perfect for seeing your airman graduate. You will only need a place to lay your head at night. We did spend time in the lobby playing cards, my airman didn't want to walk around...... he had enough from BMT read more

My friend/co-worker was getting married at one of the Golf courses nearby, and she had chosen this hotel to host her guests. Great decision! The service was amazing, and the hot breakfast every morning is what dreams are made of. I easily gained 10 lbs during my visit. The Robot: They have a robot that delivers things to your room! Forgot to bring utensils? They'll send a robot right up for you. I wish I filmed it, because I felt like I was in Star Wars and R2D2 was my personal concierge during the visit. The Breakfast: SO yummy! They had omelettes, waffles, cereal, hot oatmeal, juices, breads, bagels, Accommodations: BEDS WERE SO COMFY! Room was very clean, as was the restrooms. It was a nice getaway, and I felt at ease. I know people like to take vacations and like to feel at home, but this was BETTER than home. read more

This particular chain of hotels is the MOST dedicated to an accessible experience for disabled guests. This is the second Fairfield I've stayed in. Palm Springs is the other. First, I reserved through Expedia. This is usually a gamble for accessible rooms. The hotel contacted me proactively almost immediately. Unheard of! At check in there was an issue with the room. NO BIG DEAL. Itzel, the amazing desk person and her associate typed away and upgraded me to the most amazing accessible room. Mind you these rooms even have peep holes at wheelchair height and door bells for hearing impaired. Extra blankets delivered by cute robot. Roll in shower with unique seating. minutes to Kaiser. Out of all the challenges I face caring for my mom, THIS was the brightest spot of ease and comfort. We live in Los Angeles but keep our primary who moved to San Marcos. Anyone caring for the elderly know the importance of a great Doctor. This is now not an issue because of this amazing hotel, Itzel and the entire staff. read more

Nice decent rooms and front desk, can't say the same for the breakfast and the lady running it. Breakfast hours 6-9 and we got there 8:30 am . I got last of the scrambled eggs and my wife waited for them refill. 8:45 we asked the lady for eggs refill and her reply breakfast finished at 9am. What??? Such an attitude. read more

Comfortable, clean, and during my visit quiet. The service at the front desk is friendly and attentive. There is a "Corner Market" by the front desk where you can get snacks and soft drinks, water and juice. If you're in your room you can order anything from the corner market, extra towels or those little shampoos etc and the little robot will deliver it to your room. Very cool!! There is ample parking that is well lit. Spaghetti Factory and other trendy restaurants are within walking distance. The breakfast available in the morning in the lobby dining area is really very good. Scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs, bacon, turkey sausage, bagels, cream cheese, pastries, coffee, and decaf are some of the items available. . read more

Place is clean cause it's new but don5stay on the 1st floor! Party in the lobby til 1:15 a.m. and they weren't answering the front desk phone! Other better, new, respectful hotels in the area. This was our 5th time staying here and our last. Also power outage but not their fault but was not notified til we got here. Lol read more

I recently reserved a block of rooms for wedding guests, the bride and bridal party, and rented the Twin Oaks room for a special Farewell Brunch. Enari and the events team and everyone we encountered at the front desk were professional, friendly and helpful. They worked with us to make sure that the wedding guests received the thank you bags we provided. We chose the hotel for its newness, the complimentary breakfast, and the location. It's just off the freeway and also walking distance to a variety of good restaurants, good coffee, and good icecream. Some of our guests, including children, took advantage of the heated pool and spa. The rental of the Twin Oaks room included coffee, tea and water. A long counter in the room made a perfect buffet for food. It all worked out perfectly! read more

My partner and I stayed 4 nights at this hotel. It was very clean and the employees there are extremely nice. We're definitely going back! We loved the kind housekeepers and really enjoyed the robot that delivers stuff to the room. I don't think I've ever had such a great experience at a hotel. Thank you guys for setting up our room for our 3 year anniversary read more

In town for a family gathering and thought we'd check out this new hotel-WOW!!!! Brand new, clean, contemporary, and......wait for it.......a robot that makes deliveries to you room. We called the operator because we forgot toothbrushes and we had our very own robot deliver to our room, say goodbye and navigate itself back to the elevator-LOVED IT and the hotel. Plus, the welcome we received from the Bree at the front desk was so warm and welcoming. Would definitely come back and would recommend this lovely hotel and it's friendly staff to anybody. read more

Fairfield by Marriott Inn & Suites San Diego North/San Marcos - Friendly hotel robot delivers items to your room then navigates itself back to the elevator-SO COOL!!!! - Hotels Near Me - San Marcos, California

I must give 5 stars for our most recent stay! We had a wedding hotel block for our family and friends. Our rooms were spacious and clean. The holtel itself was clean and we were very happy with the accomidations as far as having our room requested to have our children connected for a bigger yet safe sleeping arrangement. The front desk staff was always nice an helped us with our needs at ALL hours!! I would like to thank Melissa at the front desk who was always smiling and cheerful. We also worked with a very nice gentleman by the name of Matt who was alwasy very friendly and informative and helped with our needs as well. Our kids loved the robot and ordered a couple items just to see the robot deliver to our door. Last but not least i want to recognize Ashley Manley who was our contact for the Hotel Block- she did an amazing job and was very patient with me during the scheudling and helped all my family and friends who got rooms booked under our block. We will definately be back ! Thank you again for the great stay -BTW showers were amazing! LOL read more

The front desk staff was welcoming and helped to make our stay pleasant. They recommended a Queen suite (2 Queen beds and a sofa sleeper) for our party of four which was an ideal solution for four close friends on a tight budget. The room was clean and comfortable. We were provided with extra towels and TP on request. The lobby and common areas were clean. We did not participate in the grab-and-go breakfast, but it appeared to be adequate for the Covid response. There was sufficient parking. Luggage racks and dollies were provided for self-transport of our bags. We will very likely stay here again next year. read more

I chose this hotel because they had Electric Vehicle charging and are conveniently located near the freeway and the San Diego Safari Park. I was thoroughly impressed with my stay at this hotel. We were greeted right away by a couple of smiling employees at the front desk. I felt welcomed right away and check-in went smoothly. Upon entering the room I noticed it was a little smaller than I expected but still really nice. Everything was clean and fresh and we had a nice view. The only complaint I would have was that the water in the shower was not hot enough even when it was turned all the way up. Their free hotel breakfast was amazing! Food was great, and the coffee was strong, the only thing missing was ba We were really happy that they had several Chargepoint EV chargers available. Including a handicap EV space and an inductive charger. Update: added photos read more

In the last two months we had to stay here three different times. Each time they were wonderful & helpful. We were in San Marcos for my daughters surgery & follow up appointments with her service dog. We were able to get the room we needed & we're close to the elevator close to the elevator as requested. I think the only thing is as a vegetarian my daughter would like healthier choices to pick from at breakfast. The yogurt was even hard to come by. read more

I have to say that my experiences in Fairfield have been always wonderful! Just stayed in Anaheim Marriott Suites for four nights but I wish I stayed in Fairfields for my whole trip in CA. Everything is way more clean and nicer. k-cup coffee machine vs Mr. Coffee cheap coffee machine basic basic (Marriott Suites), TV service is stable. I am staying in a Suite King bed room and bathroom is way bigger and cleaner than Anaheim Marriott Suites. Shower is spacious and clean! Love it!! Two weeks ago, stayed I. Fairfield Bangor ME was a good experience too! I think I will stay with Fairfield in the future. They also have complimentary breakfast included if you prefer to eat breakfast in the morning. Sheraton and Marriotts Suites do NOT have. read more

Checked in last night, interesting that Marriott charged my credit card for my full stay BEFORE my arrival. Whatever!! This morning, the free breakfast is fine - nothing to write home about your basic scrambled egg-like product, sausage patties, and that cheap THIN boxed bacon. There's some type of cereal bar and make your own waffles. It's free so there is that. read more

We have stayed here many times, starting with when my daughter started college there several years ago. The hotel is newer and clean with nice staff. We usually have a pleasant stay. This last visit loses it one star since they had booked a large family into several rooms on our floor. We were unlucky enough to get the room next to us where all the teenagers from that family were hanging out. They were loud and obnoxious throughout the night, and kept going in and out of the room which caused the loud door to slam each time, keeping us awake. I tried to call the front desk but no one answered, so I had to get dressed and find the night clerk smoking in the parking lot. He said he would take care of it but not sure if he ever said anything because nothing changed. We slept very little that night. When I complained to the management the next day they offered a measly 2,500 Marriott points. So I have to go through this 9 more times to have enough points to even get one free night. In other words, that amount of points is worthless. Other good managers would comp the night since they did not provide the service we paid for, a place to SLEEP. Hopefully next time will be better. read more

Great atmosphere ,friendly staff ,pool and jacuzzi, indoor gym and mini bar on site.Would highly recommend to get In some ZZZZ's

Amazingly friendly staff!!!! Nice, beautiful and clean hotel. Has a small pool and spa and a surprisingly large spread for a free breakfast. OH.... I almost for forgot, they have a ROBOT!!!! He bring requested items to your room. read more

Wonderful stay. I was attending a wedding at the Twin Oaks Estate. This hotel was a 6-minute drive there. The rooms are modern (Netflix on tv, microwave and fridge included.) 12pm check-out. Breakfast had just the right amount of variety and hot food. There are restaurants and other retail right across the hotel. They give a AAA discount. Only issue I guess would be the entrance to the room can be cramped since the bathroom door is right next to it. But that's a very minor issue. read more

Not sure what the name of the girls soccer team is that's staying on this floor (4th) but I hope they get their butts kicked in tomorrow's tournament. read more

We had a wonderful stay here the service was great and so was the room the rooms are well maintained and are clean the price is just right great value for 95 a night will comeback in the future when I stay in San Marcos again read more

Yelled at by the Front Desk Agent! I will begin this review by stating that I am a world wide traveler (Sydney, Auckland, Tahiti and Harbour Island I PROMISE I'll do your reviews after THIS ONE!). As such, whenever any aspect of my trip isn't business related or there's a Marriott available, I use my brother in law's Explorer Rate discount. It's a two-fold benefit because I receive a better rate and hotels that otherwise may not be in demand are able to secure a patron. That is UNTIL TODAY! I have stayed in at least 50 Marriott's over the past 5 years. Sometimes my Brother in Law puts my name on the form, other times he puts my husband--just depends on which one of us reaches out. I recently stayed in Nassau, New Providence Bahamas with my husbands name on the form (same last name as mine!) without incident. So imagine my dismay being in my home state and being told by Rod that I would have to reach my brother in law, on the other side of the country, make him get to a computer to provide a new form with my name on it....WAIT! WHAT? I begin telling him that's ridiculous and can even provide all of my prior stays from my Marriott's app which will reflect the frequency and rate. Nope--wasn't good enough! His attitude was as though he were far more superior than I and refused to listen to any logic or reason. He finally brings his manager Matt into the conversation, who by the way understood my viewpoint, saw the names and my matching email address on file. Rod proceeds to yell at me about a statement made to my husband while trying to 3-way my Brother in Law on the other side of the COUNTRY! I remind him that it was a private conversation and as an employee he needs to STOP YELLING AT ME and carry on otherwise! All of this in the presence of his MANAGER! Yet--I'm told he's a great employee! (Eyes wide open)--I suppose it just depends on who you are.... Needless to say, I'm happy that this is only an overnight visit before heading to a beach side Inn tomorrow which I'm confident will have rave reviews! However, San Marcos is XXX'd off! Thanks Rod Fajardo, Front Desk Agent read more

Clean, still smelled new. Customer service was good plus there is a robot for your room service delivery! Pretty simple hotel just like any other Marriott Fairfield. Parking was easy and convenient read more

Shoutout to Ashley Manley in reservations; she has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond with figuring out my room block information, and even added in some wonderful extra perks. I had so many questions and concerns that she kindly answered for me. I never felt like I was bothering her, which is crazy! If her customer service is any indication of what to expect on-site, we know we will be in good hands! read more

I recently stayed at the Fairfield Inn. My experience, to say the least, was horrible. The hotel was acceptable, but I feel maybe a bit overpriced for one set of towels and no real amenities. However, I felt as long as it was bug free and safe, I'll accept this. The day I checked out, I noticed I began to itch severely. I felt itchy the night prior, but now there were red lumps all over my legs, arms , back, and neck. I immediately knew BED BUGS!!!!. ...I've experienced this about before about 10 years ago, so I'm familiar with what the bites look like... I was horrified, to say the least, and in pain. I have an autoimmune disorder, so this was not good for me at all. I tried to remain calm , thinking of my luggage, my car, and hoping I did not bring the critters with me from Fairfield after i left. I called the hotel that evening, and I was told to leave a message for the manager. There was no call back the next day I called again. Finally, the manager called back, and I let her know what happened. She immediately stated, good news! the room was checked out by pest control, and there are no bugs! I told her I just called 20 mins ago today. How on earth did you get pest control to examine the 2 rooms? Within 20 mins of getting my message today. She said, "Didn't you speak to the district manager yesterday?" I advised no I did not. I then requested a refund. She agreed, and then apparently Sarah changed her mind in the 5 minutes it took for me to request the refund! I called her back t9 ask why she changed her mind, and she laughed at my pain and the situation. Finally, I have opened a claim with Marriott, and I'm awaiting a response. Fairfield Inn has bed bugs, and from what it sounds like, I'm not the only one complaining about this. So now im out 600.00 dollars, and im covered bumps and trying hard not to transport any bugs into my home. Spend your 200.00 dollars elsewhere for your safety and well-being. read more

Fantastic stay at this hotel. We came down from Orange County & stayed during our son's hockey playoffs. I believe it is a rather new facility. Here were some of the highlights: - very clean/nice rooms - super easy check-in and out - pretty tasty morning breakfast - very friendly staff - (my son's favorite) the robot who makes deliveries to your room. We will definitely stay here again if need to travel for hockey or heading to the Safari Park. read more

This is a brand new fairfield and a perfect example of how they're upping their game. Better room layouts, nicer decor and dramatically improved bathrooms. The staff and service are on par with a JW, and they even have these quirky little robots that bring you food and candy. A bit unnerving at first, but I named him Marvin and he really isn't half bad. This fairfield puts the "stepped up chains" of marriotts to shame. I hope that as they grow, they use this as a standard template on what a fairfield, Residence Inn, and Springfield suites are supposed to be. *note: I've been platinum or gold for many years, with 500+ stays. This place takes the cake. read more

This past weekend I stayed in room 323 for $330 for 1 night. According to the host it was the last room. When we entered the room it smelled of mildew. After talking to 4 different people and two different maintenance workers coming to our room nothing was done. The smell was so powerful I couldn't sleep. I became congested my last few hours in the room. I ended up checking out early because I couldn't take it anymore. There also weren't any wash cloths in our room. It took four different calls for them to send us the wash cloths. Besides those two mishaps the room was ok and the location was great. read more

We stayed for a wedding. It was clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were out favorites. Even though we were on the first floor near the door and staircase, it was quiet. Free HBO GO with the stay so we were able to to relax and watch a movie. Easy and fast pick up for Uber and quick delivery for Uber Eats read more

New hotel, absolutely great first experience! Decor is very modern, clean, and inviting. Staff are very friendly and greet you when you come in.

I have stayed here twice for work. The location is perfect, very close to restaurants and freeways. There's plenty of parking and it is in a safe area. The front desk staff are very professional and helpful. On my last visit, I ended up arriving in the area around 11:30AM as there was no traffic. I called the hotel to see if I could possibly check in early. They stated that they have rooms ready and could accommodate me. This was so helpful as I was able to drop off my bags and freshen up before my work event. The one thing I really like about this location is that they always have complimentary coffee and hot water available in the lobby. Breakfast is great for a quick bite. The reason why I gave it a 4 star is...do NOT stay on the first floor. This hotel is used often for a girl's soccer team. They hang out in the lobby and breakfast area all night past 10PM. The parent chaperones do nothing to control them. They were just sitting around and chatting while their girls ran around the halls, yelling, screaming, knocking on people's hotel rooms when they were sleeping. I experienced this on my first visit there. There were numerous guests at the front desk complaining about the noise. I was one of the ones that was woken up while sleeping around 10PM when one of the girls decided it would be fun to knock loudly on my door. I complained about the noise and the front desk told me that their quiet time would be coming soon. I realize this is not the hotel's fault when you have rude parents with entitled kids acting like they are at a house party. If you stay here, I advise asking for floors 2-4. read more

Stayed here with our soccer team for Surf Cup. The location is amazing and close to everything you could ever need. Grocery stores and plenty of restaurants all within a mile. Beach is less than 30 minutes away. The rooms are clean and have a fridge and microwave. The housekeeping was amazing - our room was spotless every day after they cleaned. Staff was all very friendly. They greeted us anytime we saw an employee and asked how our stay was going. We ran out of pool towels and I asked a passing staff member if I could come get a few towels. He said don't worry about it, I'll go get some. He returned within 5 minutes with a dozen fresh towels and a smile. The staff aims to please. The coolest part though is "Hubert" the robot who delivers towels, toothpaste, ice cream or anything you need to your room. My kids, ok, we ALL loved him! Breakfast was great as well. We will be back! read more

My boyfriend and I stayed her for three nights or so and we absolutely enjoyed ourselves! This hotel was very beautiful and all of the staff was very welcoming!

My wife and I got married at the end of March 2023 and stayed here until the wedding day. The staff here were amazing - from helping us get a room block for our guests to ensuring our stay was comfortable, they were there to support us without hesitation. On the wedding day we ran a little behind schedule and needed to stay a couple of hours past our checkout (hair and makeup needs of the bridal party, need I say more?). Enari happily extended our checkout time - this may sound like an innocuous item, but when you're juggling all of the demands on your time on the wedding day, having hotel staff be so flexible with you is an enormous relief. The hotel is in a great location, as well, and was easy to travel to and from for all of our events around San Diego. Special thanks again to Enari and Ashley - you both are truly spectacular. Decorating the room for us along with complimentary champagne and candy made us feel even more special. We look forward to staying here again! read more

First time here, everyone was very friendly and professional. Their rooms were clean! The beds with pillows were so comfortable! Very nice! We stayed in the king suite.

Would recommend this hotel and if we're ever out that way again we will definitely be staying here! read more
