Attractions Downtown
Most convention-goers and many tourists choose downtown as their base for a San Diego visit. It's the obvious choice for the convention crowd and close to many attractions. However, if you schedule your vacation during a big convention, it may be impossible to find a hotel room in all of downtown. If this location is important to you, you may want to check hotel availability before you set a firm date.
Pros and Cons of Staying Downtown
- Close to the Convention Center, some attractions, baseball park and restaurants
- Convenient to the San Diego Trolley, which can take you to some (but not all) other parts of town and to Tijuana.
- Many hotels charge for parking (which they do not in other parts of town)
- Hotels are more expensive than in other areas
