San Diego Vacation

Yeah I stayed at a Residence Inn in Manhattan and Vancouver and they are awesome hotels.

 

They're pretty much the only hotel I stay in when I travel on business. Even in areas that weren't that great, they tend to be well kept up and clean. And free beer is always a bonus!

 

You can try Dick's last resort. its a restaurant in gas lamp, not the greatest food, but all the waiters act like a-holes...its pretty funny

 

Good to know. Thanks.

Thanks but no thanks. haha.

 

If you like hang gliders / Parasail / Gliders take a side trip to

The cliff views are nice, it is free to go in and watch... if you want they offer tandem rides at a price.

 

Good idea. I would do it but I know my parents probably wouldn't be interested so I'll have to see if we have time.

Thanks

 

I don't know if you've seen these pictures...






...but that was at Dick's. Awesome place.

 

Hahahahaha. Yeah, I've seen those around. Some people had them as their avatars.

 

My dad liked that residence in place except it's kind of far away from everything. This is what he sent me "Is there anything more DOWNTOWN or MARINA or GASLAMP that also has what we are looking for – free parking, free breakfast, free internet?"

 

There are three more Residence Inns in San Diego. One in Kearney Mesa (gets you about 5 miles closer to downtown)
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sankm-residence-inn-san-diego-central/

Free breakfast, free parking & M-Th social events. I can't tell from the site if the internet is free but I believe it is.

There's one in Hotel Circle (about 10 miles closer to downtown)
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sanhc-residence-inn-san-diego-mission-valley/
Free internet. Parking $10/day. free breakfast and social hour events (M-Th). Which is pretty close.

There's one Downtown close to the USS Midway:
http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/sanph-residence-inn-san-diego-downtown/

Free internet. Don't know about the breakfast or social hours. Parking is $12/day. Unfortunately I don't think you'll find much in the way of free parking downtown. And the rooms get more expensive as you get closer to downtown. (about $40/night more vs the Kearny Mesa Marriott).


I'd call the hotels to see if they offer the missing pieces. I don't think I've stayed at a Marriott that didn't offer free internet with the exception of the Waikiki Marriott in Hawaii.

 

WOW!!! You are the man!!!! Thanks so much.

 

try to come up to leucadia/carlsbad/encinitas area.... its a reaallly cool local beach town (if thats what your looking for) and you can walk up and down 101 hwy

a bunch of shops and food places that is really fun

 

That's a really good idea. That's the kind of stuff my mom loves. She really enjoys walking around St. Augustine with the shops.

Thanks!!!

 

yeah thats where i live


check out 101 diner and jaunitas and the potato shack and robertos are all really good for food.... and if you can find it knockout burger is amazing

 

3 days is not a lot of time.
In my opinion downtown is where you want to be, stay away from hotel circle.
The San Diego Marriott and Omni have specials for just over 100 bucks many weekends (travelzoo.com or hotels.com) . They are both just a few steps from the trolley, these property's are a few miles away from some of San Diego's main attractions, including the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, Mission Beach and the Gaslamp Quarter.
Torrey Pines is a nice place to play golf or just visit.
If you go to the beach La Jolla to Carlsbad are all clean/fun beaches, don't forget the wet suit.
Whatever you do you are going to LOVE it. Have a great time.

 

Thanks man.

Yeah I know it's not very long but my parents don't want to miss too much work and I can't miss too much school. I'll probably be going again in the summer with my uncle for 10 days.
