Need help from people familiar with San Diego
 

Planning on taking a trip to San Diego in June and was wondering what some nice hotels are to stay at. Something close to trolley or something to get around to places easily. Any other things we should look into doing while we are there. Plan on being there for a week.

June is a bad time to visit, it will most likely be overcast the entire month.

I can tell you everything you need to know about the Marine Corps Recruit Depot (boot camp) there..... but that's about it.

Yep, hit me up on icq i am from san diego. Trollys are crap here. They all go to downtown.

adding you now

actually could you send me a msg? I can't pull up your info for some reason. 63877860

Go see Coronado

and what is that

Hotel del Coronado

Yeh, June is pretty bad. August-October are great, July is pretty good too.

Why do you want to be close to the trolley? It isn't like New York here. Sure, there's public transportation, but San Diego is pretty spread out, you'll be better off renting a car.

As far as hotels, I have no idea. Maybe something close to the beach or the marina?

Attractions. Sea World, the zoo, lots of good museums, Balboa Park, the Wildlife Park, baseball (Petco is a pretty nice park), hmm... could always check the House of Blues for a good show. Pacific Beach has the college aged party scene if you're into that.

Just a couple ideas, and I could be off too...

Well it will be for the honeymoon so really can't change the dates :)

We were just trying to find something that we can easily catch public transportation to save on cab fees etc to get places. We will def hit up the zoo, petco for a game, and harbor area. We won't be doing any driving ourselves there.

i hear it means "whales vagina" dunno if thats gonna help you in your journeys :1orglaugh

Then stay downtown. You're going to spend a fortune on cabs either way plus you should be able to hit the bus and trolley lines pretty easily. Oh, by the harbor you'll find a bunch of guys riding bikes with little "coaches" behind them. You may want to take a ride on one of those for something "romantic", I don't know, haha.

The seafood is good. And Mexican.

hotel del is nice, W hotel downtown is killer, hyatt in la jolla cool, anynumber of hotels in del mar

Go with the W downtown for the romance factor and if it is in your budget. Pretty easy to get everywhere you mention from there. Cabs won't be too bad, lots of resturaunts, etc.

Your best bet for downtown is here: http://www.hotelsolamar.com/

Same price range and swanky hipness as the W if that is what you want, but it is actually in the Gaslamp quarter so you can walk to everything: Bars, restaurants, late night clubs, grab a peda-cab or cab to seaport village, the zoo and the trolley runs right through downtown if you want to take it to old town, mission valley, or down to Tijuana. You can see the outfield of Petco Park (which is a block away) from the rooftop J-Bar on the 4rth floor and can come and go as you want as a guest without waiting in line.

The W is nice, but it is much more of a walk to get to the Gaslamp Quarter.

If you want romance and seclusion go for the Hotel Del Coronado... but be prepared to drive to everything else.

If you prefer the La Jolla area then I would recommend La Valencia or the Hotel Parisi right in the heart of the village, they are across the street from each other surrounded by shops, restaurants and La Jolla Cove.

If you want the most bang for the buck, centrally located to Downtown and the beaches then try the Best Western Hacienda in Old Town.

Hope this helps and good luck on a week or two successful consummation. :winkwink: :winkwink:
