Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay
One of the few hotels directly on the bayfront, Holiday Inn San Diego-On The Bay rises 14 floors above the surrounding carparks and promenades, for spectacular views of the city, the cruise ship terminal and across the bay to the Cabrillo Peninsula. The international airport is 2 miles north, served by the hotel's complimentary shuttle which also reaches nearby area attractions like San Diego Zoo. With 600 rooms & suites, most with a private balcony, the Holiday Inn is also one of the largest hotels in town, and contains all necessary facilities - a bar and 3 restaurants, outdoor pool & fitness center, convenience store & gift shop, and 22,000 sq ft of meetings/events space. One service not offered is free parking, however. 2007 saw completion of a full renovation of the guest rooms and meeting space.

Best Western Cabrillo Garden Inn
In contrast to the large, concrete facades of most other hotels in downtown San Diego, the Best Western Cabrillo Garden Inn is a charming, 2 floor, Spanish style lodge lined by palm trees and decorated with many flowers. The inn is small, with just 31 rooms, and is dwarfed by many of the surrounding skyscraper buildings, but it offers clean, comfortable, homely accommodation with attentive service and rather lower rates than the bigger places with more facilities. Complimentary full breakfast is served and there are plenty of restaurants within a few blocks. The location is 840 A St, on the corner of 8th Ave - a mile or less from most of the major sites in San Diego downtown.
