Affordable Beach Hotel?

My wife and I are coming to San Diego next month and are wondering about affordable hotels near the beach. We would like to stay below $150/night as we will be spending several nights there. Thanks!

Affordable Beach Hotel?

Just a little info first -February will be much milder than what you are used to but for us SanDiegans it is too cold to swim in the ocean.

There are a few possible hotels an ddepending on your dates there may be more-

YOu can check out the OceanBeach Hotel-neighborhood is surfy/hippy small townish yet in the city. restauratns nearby to walk to.

The Ocean Park Inn which is at Pacific Beach which has a cement path to walk or bike on along the beach and more hotels nearby.I talso has bkfst and free parking.

By the way you will need a rental car to get easily to other tourist sites.

There are other inexpensive hotels but they are not necessarily at the beach.

Perhaps youwould consider staying away from the beach and being able to drive to one as you probably willnot be spending all you rdays on the sand inFeb.

Check the rates (and the reviews) for some of these places:

www.shelterpointe.com

www.surferbeachhotel.com

www.bayclubhotel.com

Up in Del Mar, about 20 min north of San Diego, they somehow seem to escape the rain more than any other place around. All the hotels there are quite close to the beach, maybe check the Best Western Stratford. In Carlsbad, also north of San Diego, check TamarackResort.

Joe you have given som egood ideas for hotels but the shelter pointe and the bayclub are not at the beach. They are on Shelter Island which has great views of the SanDiego Bay but not a beach.

I agree that they might be good choices if the folks want to change their minds an dnot be right on a beach. Especially inFeb!!

Thanks for the posts they are very helpfull. Hope you don%26#39;t get tired of me I have more questions.

You can%26#39;t get more on the beach than the ';Del Mar Motel on the Beach'; It is possible that you could get a rate of $100 depending upon availability. see www.delmarmotelonthebeach.com

This is a one star motel, see the TA reviews for others%26#39; opinions:

We enjoyed Shelter Pointe and it is near the beach as the original poster requested but not ON the beach. However, it is now called Kona Kai resort and I think the rates have gone up.
