Where to Stay in San Diego: The Best Neighborhoods and Hotels

"A colorful, surf-inspired beachfront property located directly on Mission Beach’s Strand, offering 126 bright rooms (some with bunk beds and oceanfront balconies) and a central pool lined with plush daybeds facing the sand. On-site conveniences include a café, beach-cruiser rentals, a grab-and-go pantry and surf-lesson bookings, though the unbeatable oceanfront location can bring noise from the Strand or pool areas." - Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg Emily Hochberg is a writer and editor with over 15 years of experience specializing in travel, lifestyle, home, parenting, and reviews.
