Sun Harbor Motel: Funky Lodging, Great Location.

We had a great time there. It was funky, like an old Route 66 motel, but fun. Owners friendly. Great Mexican food right across the street. One block west of Denny's.

Mike's Place: Cozy, private and romantic!

Mike's Place is a wonderful guest cottage behind in the historic Hillcrest district. This place has charm, romance and privacy for its guests among other things. The owners Mike and Larry are as wonderful of men as they come just warm and accommodating.

With a short walk across the bridge there are shops, restaurants, clubs and bars. So much to chose from you wouldn't need to leave the area.

We stay here everytime we go to San Diego.. cant imagine staying anywhere else!

Unique Quality: Situated in the heart of Hillcrest
Private outdoor shower
Private entrance
Beautiful property

Loews Coronado Bay Resort: Adults, kids, pets...

A great hotel for all ages which even allows you to bring the family pet. We had five days at this hotel set out on a promenade between San Diego and the Pacific ocean and I would recommend it to anyone. The hotel is large consisting of the main Reception building, where the restaurants are housed and then five separate round buildings where the rooms are. These five buildings are all joined by a comunal walkway but if you are in the fifth building its a good 10min walk from Reception. Rooms are large with either Bay or garden views but most rooms can see the yachts moored all around the hotel. Theres valet parking..at a cost of course..but also self parking under the hotel. Breakfast was fab..buffet or a la carte and served on bright sunny terraces weather permiting

Unique Quality: I just loved the views of San Diego city one side and the Pacific ocean and beach the other.

Hotel del Coronado: Elegent with a great location

Was in L.A. on business last fall and went down to San Diego to visit friends that had retired there. Their retirement home was in a state of chaos as they remodeled every room, so opted to stay here at the del Coronado, right down the street from their new home.
What a hotel! Been around for ages with a great past of being a vacation resort to the stars. But the last time I had seen it (for dinner about 20 years ago) it was looking run down and faded. Not anymore!!
La Costa Resorts have bought the property and have sunk millions into returning it to its past glory and then some. All areas, public and private, are just gorgeous. My room, in the Victorian wing had a partial ocean view was was generous in size with all the ammenities.
Highly recommend!!

A word of advice - many of the room in the Victorian wing have no view and are very small. Use caution.

Unique Quality: Too many unique qualities to list, but top on my list is the hotel's location. On an island across from downtown San Diego, the hotel provide a boat shuttle to and from the San Diego marina if it's city life you want. Or just stay on the grounds with one of the nicest beaches in San Diego right there.

Hotel Del Coronado: Victorian Ocean Front Resort

The historic Hotel Del Coronado was built in 1888 and is an oceanfront resort in San Diego. We drove there from La Jolla where we were visiting family members. Our intention was to come for the extensive Sunday Brunch, located in the Crown Room--a very elegant restaurant.

Hotel Del Coronado overlooks a wide stretch of beach. The hotel is luxurious and overflowing with class. The moment one enters, the fine details and quality furnishings place this a step above the ordinary. The Travel Channel proclaimed it "the number one destination for weddings"--who wouldn't want to begin their life of bliss here! USA Today christened this luxurious landmark "one of the top ten resorts in the world".

There are 679 recently remodeled rooms; guests have three options for lodging:

The Victorian Building-where you'll experience 19th century ambiance
Ocean Towers and California Cabanas-offering contemporary rooms
Beach Village-cottage and villas

A spa is open daily from 8am-8pm and just waiting for you to make your reservation! A schedule of kid and adult activities is prepared each day.

Unique Quality: Elegant oceanside resort

The Lodge at Torrey Pines: A Golfers Paradise - Torrey Pines

While this hotel received a five star rating, it falls slightly short in my book. Not that it's not fabulous and luxurious and beautiful but I don't think the service is quite up to five star level. Service in the restaurant has always been slow in my experience and I wasn't all that impressed with their banquet food either. Also, there was some kind of problem with the main water line when I stayed there. It was only for an hour or two, but when that's the hour you have to take a shower it's not good.

If you have the $$$, and are a golf fiend go for it. But realize that you can get the same view and same access to the golf course at the Hilton next door...

Unique Quality: One of two five star resorts in San Diego County, the Lodge at Torrey Pines boasts an ideal location. It's great for golfers, hikers and birdwatchers with the famous Torrey Pines Golf Course (Buick Invitational) and Torrey Pines State Park adjacent to the property. It's also close to the Torrey Pines Gliderport for hang gliding and near La Jolla Shores and Torrey Pines State Beach for surfers and sunworshippers. Perched on a cliff overlooking the Pacific, this Craftsman-style hotel definitely has a unique feel. The front door is gorgeous as is the fireplace in the lobby. A much more intimate feel than most hotels.

Various Hotels: Hotel Circle



Unique Quality: Hotel Circle is a group of Motels that are convenient to the big attractions; Sea World, Wild Animal Park, Old Town, and Downtown.
It is off I-5 and is just minutes from the above. Most of the motels here are very reasonably priced vs the downtown hotels. Most of the major chains are represented here and some independents.
Depending on the time of year, the motels offer rooms for as low as $39 a night. If one belongs to an organization or group (AAA, AARP, etc.) one can usually find a discounted rate at these locations.
I would recommend staying on Hotel Circle vs downtown because it is easier to get to the area attractions and some even provide free or low-cost shuttle service to the main attractions at certain times of the year.
Please contact your travel agent or the attached for price and availability for when you are thinking of traveling to San Diego.

All: Most places are overpriced.

Unfotunately, there aren't any cheap places to stay in San Diego. If you are a family and are on a budget, try to arrange a home exchange. There are lots of websites - craigslist.org is a good one. For backpackers, I'm not as sure about lodging rates. If you can, try to find a local person with whom you can stay. (I'm usually up for that - you just have to return the favor when I come to your town!)

Holiday Inn Harbor View: Holiday Inn Harbor View

The Holiday Inn Harbor View is a circular building in downtown San Diego that is easy to spot from the surrounding area. Because it is circular, the rooms are an odd slice of pie shape... But, the hotel is clean, friendly and conveniently located just a few blocks from the harbor, the train, the airport, and the Gas Lamp District. Be careful of the one-way streets!
