Hi everyone,

We are coming to CA from CT the first week of November. We have 4 days at the Grand Californian, then two at LEGOland and 2 more in San Diego. We plan to do the SDZoo and have a little down time to enjoy Southern CA and regroup before flying home.

Can anyone recommend a good but not too expensive hotel in San Diego???

We would love to be near the ocean, but I can't seem to find anything. If the beach isn't possible, how about a good heated pool?? We would also like a fairly easy drive to both the zoo and the SD airport.


Any info would be helpful. Thank You!!
