Choosing San Diego California HotelsWhere To Stay On Your |
Like to be near the airport? There are several airport hotels to choose from. Or, if you plan on visiting Sea World or do some boating on Mission Bay, look to the Mission Bay hotels. Balboa Park has lots of museums in addition to the world famous zoo, and there are some lovely Balboa Park hotels nearby.
Prefer to have easy access to the freeway? At Hotel Circle in San Diego, the hotels are literally on a road that forms a gigantic circle. Not only are they convenient to two major interstate freeways, they are also just a short hop from Old Town, a fun, colorful, Mexican flavored tourist area to stroll around, shop and eat dinner.
CHOOSING HOTELS IN SAN DIEGO BY CHAIN BRAND
Secondly, you can choose where to stay in San Diego according to your favorite hotel chain or brand. For instance, there are popular chains in the area you may recognize such as Courtyard by Marriott, Homewood Suites, Best Western, Marriott, Hampton Inn, Hilton, Westin, W, Residence Inn, Embassy Suites, Staybridge Suites, Wyndham, Comfort Inn, Doubletree, Holiday Inn Express, Holiday Inn, Vagabond Inn, Sheraton, Hyatt, Ramada, Americas Best Value, Motel 6, La Quinta Inn, Days Inn, Quality Inn, Howard Johnson, Crowne Plaza, Travelodge, Good Nite Inn, Extended StayAmerica, Super 8 and...well, you get the idea.
Several of these chains have more than one hotel in San Diego, even several in some cases.
CHOOSING HOTELS IN SAN DIEGO BY TYPE
A third way to choose San Diego California hotels is by size or type. Do you prefer a tall highrise with great views and an elevator? Or maybe a small, quiet place where you can be on the ground floor or one up with no one pounding the ceiling above. There are drive up motels, unique boutique hotels and all kinds of vacation resorts, some on or near the water. You'll also find a good share of San Diego bed and breakfast inns, which usually offer a more homey, luxurious atmosphere and better breakfast, sometimes gourmet.
CHOOSING SAN DIEGO CALIFORNIA HOTELS BY PRICE OR BEST VALUE
Another very popular way to choose is simply by cheapest, or best value for the money. Others with fatter wallets might only consider 4 stars and above, regardless of the price.
AMENITIES REQUIRED
Other things to consider of course are the amenities offered. Most people on vacation want a nice outdoor pool, while business travelers need a business center and a proper desk to sit at to plug in their laptop. Some vacationers like to bring their dog, so then your choices are limited to hotels that allow pets. Families often want suites, especially if they are planning to stay for a week. Others wouldn't consider a place without 24 hour room service. When researching your accommodations, make a short list of what you require and narrow down your search that way.
Whichever way you use to make your decision, a great resource is TripAdvisor, you can make the process a whole lot easier. You can tick the boxes in the left column to sort for various preferences. You can also check traveler reviews and see what the most popular hotels are and how they rate against all the other San Diego California hotels.
