Hard Rock Hotel San Diego
Hard Rock was very nice, clean and staff was nice. It is catered to mostly adults so I would probably not recommend to stay here with kids next time but a nice hotel nonetheless.

Handlery Hotel
Incredibly nice pool and hot tub, feels like you’re at a resort. Breakfast at the restaurant was delicious and reasonable. Easy access in and out of hotel. Room was clean and nice, and the price was fabulous. I enjoy boutique hotels over chain hotels and this one didn’t disappoint.
