Save cash on places to stay

When we got to the West Coast, we had hotel reservations for the first night ... then we were winging it the rest of the time. We ended up getting really lucky ... and you can too.

Here's what we did. We went into an area grocery store & picked up a free "area coupon book". This book had a variety of coupons ranging from local attractions to lodging. After getting the book, we would drive to the areas that we wanted to check out. Then found a hotel in walking distance from the book, called them from our cell phones to make reservations. The coupons usually saved us half off the regular prices.

Enjoy!

Unique Quality: One trick that may help you out when bargain hotelling. We found out that when we called most places & told them upfront that we had a coupon, there usual response would be "we are all booked up" ... which was crap. They just didn't want to honor their coupon ... how did we know this you ask? After being turned down by a few hotels, we got a little suspicious ... so after we were told that there was no vacancies ... we called back to the same hotel a few minutes later. To our surprise, by not mentioning that we had a coupon, there was a vacancy available.

To make a long story short, don't mention that you have a coupon until after you confirm that there is a vacancy. Once vacancy is available, they then would have to honor the coupon.

Hotel Del Coronado ('The Del')

Hotel Del Coronado ('The Del')
$250+ for a standard room

Unique Quality: Ever seen 'Some Like It Hot' with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon? Ever hear where the King of England met Wallis Simpson?

This Victorian landmark has had it's fair share of celebrities. It's been renovated and remodeled but retains it's historic charm. There are three main sections: the Victorian Wing, the California Cabanas and the Towers. The Victorian Wing is the original building, the latter two have been added.

What's special about the Del? The history and the views. It is NOT the accommodations or the price. You are paying for the history, not for modern conveniences. But do be sure to check out Mootime Ice Creamery!

Just to letcha know.....The...

Just to letcha know.....The best area to stay that is most central to everything is Mission Valley or Old Town. MIssion Valley is right in the middle of the city. You should be able to take the trolley to most places from there. Old Town is near Mission Valley and has some great restuarants. If you stay at a hotel in Old town, know that most of the hotels are right next to the freeway. I think there are some hotels in Hotel circle in Mission valley that are reasonable...they are near the freeway too. If you have money to spend, stay at the Hanalei Red Lion mission valley. If you have money and you wanna stay downtown, go to the US Grant. But most of all, if you have money to spend and have a rental car....STAY AT THE HOTEL DEL!!!! You won't be sorry!.

Good accomodations that won't hurt your wallet is a rare bird in San Diego, but if you're savvy enough to pull it off, get your room via CheapestDeals.com - I always use them when I go back to San Diego.
