Set in several charming buildings on beautifully tended grounds in an historic neighborhood the Best Western Plus Hacienda Old Town gets high praise for its location and beautiful Spanish Colonial architecture. This non-smoking hotel's 199 rooms are spread among eight different buildings with stucco walls and red-tile roofs. In the spacious interior courtyards tropical flowers tumble from ceramic planters and fountains splash. Rooms have a Southwestern flair thanks to heavy wooden shutters and colorful artwork. Internet access is free with wired connections in the rooms and Wi-Fi in the public areas. After a day spent exploring Old Town State Park you can swim laps in the outdoor heated pool relax in the hot tub or work out in the fitness center. There's a restaurant on the premises and dozens more within easy walking distance. Catching a train or plane is no hassle as the hotel is four miles away from San Diego International Airport and Amtrak's Santa Fe Depot. A stop of the San Diego Trolley which whisks you around town for a minimal charge is three blocks away. Old Town is at the front door and San Diego's Gaslamp Quarter and its boutiques and eateries are less than five miles away. Area attractions include SeaWorld (four miles away) and San Diego Zoo (just over five miles away). A quick 11-minute drive takes you to the beaches and boardwalk of Mission Beach.
