[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. 
Various friends have recommended La Jolla but I don’t think we want to be commuting back and forth. Lafayette sounds good (and I’m holding a room there) but I now see Westin Gaslamp Quarter and Andaz San Diego have deals going on. Would these be better locations? Or too loud / too much of a party scene.

Andaz is right in Gaslamp Quarter and sounds like a party hotel (but we’ll be midweek). Westin Gaslamp sounds like it’s a nice hotel, but small pool.

If we’re looking for downtown with a pool any other locations / recs? Lafayette is my plan for now but would welcome other thoughts!

Stay by the ocean. If you want a pool the Catamaran is a good choice. [b]La Jolla is a better choice for a kid that either the Gaslamp Quarter or downtown,[/b] but I don't know what hotels in La Jolla proper have good pools. The Lafayette also looks like a party hotel as reviews mention that the pool is open to outsiders. Everything in San Diego is 20 minutes from everything else - it's not like driving around LA or SF. Leave early, get to the zoo so you're there when it opens - it's much less crowded, the keepers are out, you can talk to them and sometimes see some feedings.[/quote]

Agreed.  I get the sense that OP is a nervous driver, but it really is only 20 min to get anywhere around SD.  Also agree that the Gaslamp is not the place to stay with kids.  I'm a PP who used to live in SD, and unless I'm going to a conference downtown, there's no reason to go there.  Downtown La Jolla or Mission Bay hotels will have great views and grounds and be a lot more family friendly.[/quote]
