HELP! I need some advice on deciding which hotel to choose!

My head is spinning!! I have narrowed it down to a handfull of hotels in downtown San Diego ( near the Bay ) but I am wanting some expert advice on LOCATION! What would you suggest is the BEST location?

1. Hampton Inn - Downtown ( yes, I know about the train )

2. Marriott Residence Inn - Downtown ( train noise there too)

3. Embassy Suites right on the harbor.

4. Best Western Bayside Inn ( a little away from the bay but cheap )

I want to be close to Little Italy. I know the Best Western Bayside is 4 blocks from the trolley terminal and also about 4 blocks from Little Italy. I guess what I want to know is.......if you where staying here what would be idea of easy access to resturants, transportation etc. I know they are all within these things, but which is the best! Ha,Ha!!

Also one last thought....if money where no object, where would you stay in the downtown San Diego area?

The hotels you mention are all very different so it is hard to tell what you are REALLY looking for. Little Italy(a very small area)y is close to downtown so you could easily get there on our light rail trolley from most parts of downtown. Downtown is close to lots of restaurants and transportation. I don%26#39;t know anything about the Hampton Inn. The Residence Inn is usually used by families who need suites. The same goes for th eEmbassy Suites which is across the street from the harbor. We usually recommend the BestWestern Bayside for people who do not want to spend a lot of money. It is good value in a good location.

If I wanted a large modern hotel downtown and I had a lot of money I would choose the Manchester Grand Hyatt or the Marriott%26amp;Marina on the waterfront. If I wanted a classy old world elegant feel I would pick

the Westgate. If i wanted a smaller boutique hotel I would pick the historic Horton Grand or the newer Kimpton brand Solamar Hotel.

Different choices for different tastes.
