Best Western Inn & Suites San Diego – Zoo/SeaWorld Area
"Overall, we liked the hotel's proximity to the beach, SeaWorld etc. I liked that there was plenty of street parking and after the first night gave back my pass and didn't pay for the other 4 nights. I didn't find the area very sketchy as others have mentioned. Breakfast was good. Lots of choices. ..."
