Places to Stay

Omni San Diego Hotel
@sammismith14
Connected to Petco park with views of the harbor and San Diego's downtown Gaslamp District, you can't go wrong or run out of things to do while staying here. Hit a Padres game and then go downtown for the perfect San Diego night.

If you're looking for a stay outside of the city, get some great views of the mountains at the Carlsbad Westin.

Hotel del Coronado
@sammismith14
Beautiful hotel, property and beach. If you don't stay here, would recommend getting a day pass for the beach - or even walking around and seeing the grounds. Especially at the holidays, this place is always beautiful!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sammi Smith
A traveler who also works a corporate 9-5 in a hybrid format. I love to take advantage of everywhere the world has to offer from short day trips by places I am living or visiting family and friends to 7-10 day trips in Europe! I am an adventurer so love to explore and see all the things a place has to offer (which for a customer means I know what's worth seeing!).
