"did not look"

Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton San Diego SeaWorld Near Old Town

8/10 Good

"If you’re without a car, and you’re wanting to wander around San Diego and not get a rental or do Uber for every trip. This hotel is pretty far away from the beach. Central location if you’re looking for that as a place to be ground zero. Pretty much 20-30 minutes from everything in La Jolla, Mission Bay Mission Beach Balboa Park. "
