Travel tips
If you’re attending a convention, plan to walk to the San Diego Convention Center (roughly 9 minutes on foot) and build in extra time during major events when the downtown area is busiest. The hotel’s waterfront location makes it easy to reach Seaport Village (about 274 m) and the USS Midway Museum (about 749 m) on foot, while Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo are a short ride away (about 3.3–3.5 km). Guests note that parking can be tight during peak event weeks, so consider arriving early or using alternative transportation when large conventions are in town.
