bonjourcruise Posted January 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hello! I'm hoping someone can share some budget-friendly options for a one-night stay in San Diego pre-cruise. We're a family of four (two kids). Trying to avoid car rental, if possible. However, we arrive early morning in San Diego, so would like to explore a bit if possible to make the most of one day. Do hotels generally let people drop off luggage in the morning before check-in? Any suggestions for hotel that would have activities within walking distance or easy public transport? Feel free to let me know if I'm asking for the impossible.. 😂 Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 18, 2023 #2 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Never had a hotel refuse to hold luggage for an incoming reservation. There are dozens of threads here on hotels in the San Diego area. There are 6 or 8 hotels within easy walking distance of the cruise terminal, and a short taxi ride...less that $20 with tip...from the airport. Take a look around the board.

As discussed in the other thread you are on, there is a Maritime museum, and the Midway (aircraft carrier) to tour. Check out Google Maps. The port area is wide open and easily walked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeepCalmBearOn Posted January 19, 2023 #5 Share Posted January 19, 2023 The Holiday Inn San Diego Bayside is great for families. They have lots to do for kids, the neighborhood is very walkable and they have a free shuttle from the airport and to the cruise terminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is tons of shopping and dining in nearby Seaport Village which is a joy to walk to/through, and there is a nice walking/scooter trail that runs along the harbor, as well as plenty of harbor cruises and museums and other activities depending on your budget. The New Childrens museum is also a short walk away and lovely. A quick uber could get you to the amazing SD Zoo and Balboa Park which has days worth of things to see and do!
