What’s Best Family Friendly Accommodation In San Diego?
Does anyone here know San Diego well?
I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of accommodation options available.
I’ve got Capital One points and Chase points that I can use, and I’m open to Airbnb, Vrbo, or Vacasa if necessary.
There will be 4 adults and 2 kids in our group.
I was looking at San Diego hotels and noticed that the Manchester Grand Hyatt seems to only have handicapped-accessible rooms available 8 months in advance, which seems strange since I don’t need one.
I’ve heard about some areas facing issues with trash, encampments, and drugs, but I can’t seem to find any recent stories or posts about it.
I’m hesitant to stay in those areas, especially with young kids.
Any recommendations or insider tips on family friendly places to stay in San Diego would be greatly appreciated!

I’m a San Diego native.
What kind of activities are you interested in?
Whether it’s hitting the beach, visiting the zoo, exploring SeaWorld, or checking out Legoland, most major attractions are within a 15-minute drive from central or downtown locations (outside of peak traffic times).
A friend of mine, who used to live here and recently visited with her family, stayed at the Hyatt Mission Bay.
It’s a family-friendly spot with water slides in the pool and offers convenient access to SeaWorld and the beach/bay.
Plus, it’s close to several freeways, making it a quick drive to attractions like the Zoo, Balboa Park, downtown, and it’s near the airport.
Another option is the Manchester, a lovely hotel located on the bay side of downtown San Diego.
It boasts stunning views and is adjacent to Seaport Village.
Being in Downtown/Gaslamp, it’s also within walking distance of the convention center, Petco Park (home of baseball), The Shell outdoor amphitheater, and a plethora of bars and restaurants.
It’s conveniently located near the airport and the trolley line. If you have more questions, feel free to ask!

Alright, since we’re hitting Disney first, we’ll mainly focus on San Diego attractions like Torrey Pines, Coronado, and Point Loma.
We’re also planning to stop by Encinitas and La Jolla on the way down.
Is Ocean Beach (OB) still worth checking out?
It’s been 15 years since I’ve been to San Diego, so I’m a bit out of the loop!
