[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Thanks for the itinerary ideas! So I’m not worried about getting back from Safari park, I think Children’s museum Fri am sounds fun. (Though I booked on southwest in case we’re having such a good time I add a day!)

I’m thinking zoo Weds; zoo and / or Balboa park OR safari park Thurs, and children’s museum Fri am.

Now I could use help on hotels / neighborhood suggestions. Thanks to pp who suggested the Welk - it’s 45 mins from the zoo, so might be better on a future trip.

Some options I’ve looked at for this trip are Kings Inn, Hampton Inn San Diego / mission Valley, and la Quinta inn Old town. A little further out (as far as I can tell from a nap) a friend recommended Catamaran resort and somewhat more pricey I’m looking at Manchester Grand Hyatt. (But not sure the extra cost is worth it.)

Thanks![/quote]

Out of those choices I'd stay at the Catamaran. Much better location - Mission Valley is just a mash of freeways with a mall nearby. Old Town can be fun to walk around but the La Quints overlooks the freeway and is under the flight path for the airport. The Catamaran has a nice pool for kids, is right on Mission Bay and a very short walk to the ocean.[/quote]

You also might check out the Lafayette.  It's not in a super touristy area, but there are a range of restaurants that are walkable and it's not far from Balboa Park.  It's an old restored hotel, so it has a "retro" vibe and a really nice outdoor pool area.  It's very "old California," which I like.
