GASLAMP DISTRICT
 
Can anyone recommend a hotel to stay in the Gaslamp District in San Diego?

There is a very nice Marriott and a Hilton located within walking distance of this area.

If that is where you want to be, the only place I know in the heart of the Gaslamp is the Villager Lodge-Gaslamp. It is two diamond from AAA and they say it is newly remodeled with a free shuttle from the airport. It is at 660 G Street in an old building in character with the times with 105 rooms in the $100 range. It might be a fun place. http://www.villagerlodge.com

While I'm not sure I would choose the Gas Lamp District as an area to stay, if that is where you want to be check out the following site.<BR>http://www.gaslamp.org/lodge.html

Hi Nikki, the Horton Grand Hotel on 4th is very nice ,there is a small theatre attached, with a hilarious production called Triple Espresso. It is on 4th and there are many restaurants ,and the Horton Plaza Mall within walking Distance. Joyce

The Marriott at the Marina is pretty nice. It is right on the water, has a nice pool and outdoor hot tub, is beside the Seaport Village shopping area (great place to stroll), and is across the street from the Gaslamp District. Many of the rooms provide good views of the bay and/or downtown.

Hi--my wife and I stayed at the Ramada Inn and Suites (the old St James Hotel)at 830 6th Ave. in the Gaslamp. Great location, right around the corner from all the action. My one complaint was the small room, but I think you can get a suite for a slightly higher rate.

Just got back and stayed at the Westin Horton Plaza. We loved the location because we were able to walk to dinner in the Gaslamp Quarter every night. We got a rate of $99/night.

I have stayed at a number of places, some more than once, including the Westin Horton Plaza, the U.S. Grant, Horton Grand and the William Penn. All good. But I like the St. James a lot. The other poster is right about the rooms being small, but there are some suites. There is a great rooftop and the old elevator is really fun and quirky. The rate was good too.

I receommend the Marriott Marina which is within walking distance of the gaslamp district.

I recommend the Horton Grand Hotel. The suites are quite nice, they'll show you a room first if you ask. I like staying in that area myself, since great restaurants and a lively scene are right outside the hotel door.
