The Sofia Hotel
Great stay, beautiful hotel. Not too far from the main strip in the gaslamp district or the train depot for people taking public transit. Plenty of stores and restaurants immediately around the hotel too. Valet staff were nice and very attentive too. Would recommend.

La Jolla Shores Hotel
An absolute dream stay right on the beach! If you're traveling with kids, this location is unbeatable and super accessible.
