Best San Diego Hotels

I travel quite often for work, most of the time down to San Diego, as most of my clients are there. When I visit the city, I prefer to stay in the downtown area, as I feel it offers me the most options as far as ease of access, dining, and activities (if I have any spare time). Traveling as much as I do, I feel that that I have become a pretty good judge of what to look for in a hotel when it comes to business travel, and have shared some of my insights on the best hotels for business below.

Homewood Suites San Diego Airport:

Close to the airport, this is an ideal hotel for those traveling to San Diego with strictly business on their minds. Its proximity to the airport makes getting there and back very painless, and the rooms are created with the business traveler in mind. The rooms include a spacious work desk, a ¾ kitchen, full size refrigerator, stove top, and wireless and wired internet. A part of the Hilton family, the hotel maintains the class and quality of its mother company, but again, is created with business travelers in mind. My favorite part of the hotel is that breakfast is available seven days a week adjacent to the lobby. Dinner is also provided Monday - Thursday.

Residence Inn San Diego Downtown/Gaslamp Quarter:

This hotel is located a little further from the airport than the Homewood Suites, near the Gaslamp Quarter of the city, but was also created with business travelers and those seeking extended stays in mind. I stayed here for a convention once, as it is a short five minute walk away which is very convenient, especially because as you are aware I'm sure, oftentimes conventions start early in the morning, so it is nice not having to factor travel time into your morning. The service at this hotel is what really set it apart for me, the front desk was friendly and efficient, and had great recommendations when it came to dining and attractions in the area. The hotel is smaller than some of the others in the area, giving it a "boutique" feel that I also enjoyed.

Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter:

This centrally located hotel includes all the abundant amenities of a Hilton, plus a beauty salon, swimming pool, meeting facilities with a full-service business center and on-site, 24-hour fitness center. Its proximity to the convention center makes it ideal for those traveling for conventions in the city.

Courtyard by Marriott San Diego Airport

Another hotel located near the airport, the Courtyard is the Marriott family's version of an extended/business travel hotel. Hands down the best thing about it for me is the free parking, which is hard to come by at a lot of the hotels downtown. Located on the water, the rooms also offer fantastic views which are nice, especially when working from your room. Rooms include a fridge, internet, and are reasonably sized, and very clean.

I hope this guide to the best San Diego hotels is helpful for those of you traveling for business, let me know if you have any recommendations as well!
