[QUOTE]Originally posted by smitty195: [QB] San Diego is VERY pricey for hotels. For the hotel properties located on Hotel Circle, you'll pay a premium (usually, but not always). If you like to gamble on websites like HotWire or Travelocity, you can get a fairly good rate sometimes, but you won't know the hotel name until after you've purchased your non-refundable room. I have stayed at a few places in Old Town. Personally, I like the Holiday Inn Express in Old Town. If you have rolling luggage and don't mind walking, it's about a 5 minute walk on flat (very, very small hill) sidewalk to/from the Old Town Trolley station. In this same area, there is also a La Quinta Inn which is quite nice, as well as a Courtyard By Marriott. All three of these hotels are just around the corner from each other, and all three would require roughly the same length of walk. There is a motel located next-door to the Caltrans Headquarters building, which is very close to the Old Town Trolley station. It's probably the closest hotel/motel to the Trolley. However, a few friends stayed there recently for a conference at Caltrans, and I got to see the inside of their motel room. DO NOT STAY THERE. It's got a name that's something like "El Rancho"? I can look up the name if you'd like, but absolutely, positively, do not stay there. Very yucky, very dirty. If it were me, I'd stay again at Holiday Inn Express. This hotel is heavily used by the cruise lines for pre and post departure passengers, so make your reservations NOW as that hotel fills up extremely quickly. Don't be shocked when you see the hotel prices in San Diego. It's just about as bad as New York City. Sounds like a fun trip! (PS: I don't know what your budget is, but I recently stayed at the Omni in downtown San Diego, next to PETCO park. The Trolley is right next door, and this is a beautiful, brand new hotel---but you will pay big $$$ for it). [/QB][/QUOTE]
