Best hotel in San Diego (Hidden Gems?)

[Anonymous]

Looking for a hidden gem that is affordable and near Del Mar (family friendly with pool and open space for gathering). Ok with a chain so long as it’s nice vs dated.

Any recs? Budget is 250-300 per night.

Thx!

I couldn't find that many great hotels I loved. Opted for Airbnb instead. Mine would be too $$ to refer but had the best pool I've ever seen in my entire Fing life and I've been around some awesome places I paid quite a bit for it but it wasn't a once in a lifetime price or anything. I had a harder time in SD finding affordable places with pools actually.

Do you have a link to the AirBnB?

Not sure if La Jolla is too far from Del Mar, but you might check out the La Jolla Shores hotel. Not fancy, but great location right on the beach.
