San Diego, California: Electric Nightlife and Historical Attractions

San Diego's sunny, comfortably warm weather and 70 miles of coastline have long attracted out-of-towners, but the city's inland scene is no slouch, either. The Gaslamp Quarter is arguably the trendiest listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The area forms both the historic center of town and a hub of nightlife, with nearly 100 Victorian-era buildings occupied by high-end boutiques and gourmet restaurants.

A stroll through iconic Balboa Park takes you past 17 museums, as well as the world-famous San Diego Zoo. There's also the vibrant Spanish Village Art Center, a living gallery where local artists produce pottery and oil paintings. In Old Town, shops in Mission-style stucco buildings sell colorful woven baskets and maracas. Nearby stands the Whaley House Museum, dubbed one of the Most Terrifying Places in America by the Travel Channel. Ghosts of former residents are said to inhabit the rooms, which are filled with Victorian furniture and eerie dolls.

Manager created a threatening environment We stayed fr 4 days. First morning no breakfast available prior to 10am. 2nd day the breakfast room door locked out many guests. Door eventually opened by another guest. Next day fire alarm disrupted ALL guests and we were not informed of this test. Same day internet and TV service went out and stayed out for over 24 hours and the service stopped abruptly Zt 10pm, and again remained out for well over 24 hours.When we spoke to DON the manager at 240pm that day he said if we didn’t like it we could leave ant 3pm. Literally in 20 minutes. He was loud and aggressive verbally and said I threatened the staff. He then ran our credit card, and let us know that we HAD to leave HIS hotel the next day. No other compensation would be given.

Will Definitely Stay Here Again This hotel was in a great location and the cost per night was a bargain. Restaurants are only a few blocks away, easy walking distance. We also easily walked to catch the trolley. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. We heard no noise from the other rooms. The manager was super friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again.
