Recommendation for hotel on beach in San Diego

We are looking for a hotel on the beach in San Diego. We would like one that is under $225 if possible and preferably a chain like the Hyatt, Hilton, etc to help earn hotel points. We will be going to the zoo and Sea World.

WHEN are you coming?

Different prices at different times of the year.

WIll you guys have a rental car?

Our Hiltons and Hyatt%26#39;s are not exactly on beaches.

Downtown with water views of San Diego BAY you%26#39;ll find the brand new Hilton Bayfront and the Manchester Grand Hyatt. There is also an Embassy Suites which is in the Hilton family. You would have to drive a short distance to a beach.

In Mission BAY Park, which is a series of manmade bays with some beaches, you%26#39;ll find the Mission Bay Hilton Resort. These are manmade bay beaches though and not the ocean . There is also the Hyatt Regency Mission Bay Resort which is closer to the actual ocean .You can drive to the ocean in a short time or even walk from the Hyatt MB.

We don%26#39;t have many actual beachfront hotels and the ones we DO have tend to be independent ,not chain hotels.

Recommendation for hotel on beach in San Diego

We will be there April 27-29 and we will have a car. We don%26#39;t have to have the Hilton or Hyatt. It can be a Marriott. I guess it does not have to be a major name just as long as it is nice and not run down.

Any discouts out there for the Zoo and Sea World?

How far from the beach is acceptable to you? (a block or 2, 5 min walk, short drive?) As riffsmom said we really don%26#39;t have hotels on the beach we have very very few.

I was going to second the recommendation for Crystal Pier hotel...it won%26#39;t earn you points on a card, but it sure is a fun place to stay!!

The nice Hyatts are on the bay with no beaches, but I like the Hyatt Manchester a lot.

I%26#39;d also look at the Tower Hotel, Pacific Terrace and the Catamaran.

Maybe the la Jolla Shore Hotel although I am not sure they are under $225.
