Luckily I was allocated a room that did not face the street, so it was quite quiet. I travelled for a conference and stayed 5 nights in the hotel. The bed and pillows were comfortable, the room was a good size, the location near the Convention Center was very convenient.

San Diego Zoo

This world-famous zoo is as good as it gets. Stand to attention with meerkats, monkey around with macaques and hop on the cable car to glide above it all like the mighty condor. One tip: pay up the extra dollars for a Backstage Pass – you’ll get up close and personal with cheetahs and rhinos!

Always come when the zoo opens as parking can be tricky if you end up in the back areas. DO take the tour bus, as the ZOO is VERY hilly. Do ride the Skyline..pretty cool to see the San Diego skyline. The best restaurant is right near the entrance, the others are not very good. Bring a hat and water as it can get very hot. Plan on spending a full 8 hours if you want to see things. Stop off at the kids play area, if you have kids. That is their favorite part. Kids don't care that much about the animals. They get bored with all the walking.

This zoo is amazing and we were able to see it all in a single day (9am-6pm). Get a paper map when you enter as it was much more helpful than the app. I would start the day on the bus and sit on the right side of the upper deck for the best views. You are allowed to bring in your own food and drinks but the kids meals at the restaurants were large and a great deal if you are are purchasing on-site.

We opted for the Safari Park this trip -- more spread out and fewer folks... delightfully close to the animals. Hours of fun and so many steps. The ticket now includes the train/tram around the Africa exhibits. A great day

Location was great. Able to walk around to the sites, restaurants and bars. Everything within walking distance with the exception of San Diego zoo. Convention center was very close where my daughters were at for three days (Twitch Convention). My wife, other daughter and I went sightseeing and shopping. Lots to do if you like to eat and drink though prices could get a bit pricey. Very safe location.
