During your San Diego vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
House of Pacific Relations International Cottages
This cluster of 17 charming one- and two-room cottages disseminates information about the culture, traditions, and history of 28 countries. Light refreshments are served, and outdoor lawn programs are presented by one of the nations every Sunday, 2-3pm, March through October. The adjacent United Nations Building houses an international gift shop where you can buy jewelry, toys and books, and UNICEF greeting cards (tel. 619/233-5044); it's open daily from 10am to 4pm.
Four Seasons Resort Aviara Golf Club
Uniquely landscaped to incorporate natural elements compatible with the protected Batiquitos Lagoon nearby, Aviara doesn't infringe on the wetlands bird habitat. The course is 7,007 yards from the championship tees, laid out over rolling hillsides with plenty of bunker and water challenges. Casual duffers may be frustrated here. Greens fees are $195 (including mandatory cart) during the week, and $215 Friday through Sunday; afternoon rates start at 1pm in winter, 3pm in summer. There are practice areas for putting, chipping, sand play, and driving, and the pro shop and clubhouse are fully equipped. Golf packages are available for guests of the Four Seasons.
Mount Woodson Golf Club
One of San Diego County's most dramatic golf courses, Mount Woodson is a par-70, 6,180-yard course on 150 beautiful acres. The award-winning 18-hole course, which opened in 1991, meanders up and down hills, across bridges, and around granite boulders. Elevated tees provide striking views of Ramona and Mount Palomar, and on a clear day you can see for almost 100 miles. It's easy to combine a game of golf with a weekend getaway to Julian (see chapter 11). Greens fees for 18 holes (including mandatory cart) are $65 Monday through Thursday, $85 Friday and Sunday, $90 on Saturday. Early-bird, afternoon, and twilight rates are available, and seniors get a discount. Mount Woodson is about 40 minutes north of San Diego.
Motel 6 Hotel Circle
Yes, it's a Motel 6, so you know the drill: No mint on the pillow and you have to trundle down to the front desk to retrieve a cup of coffee in the morning. On the other hand, these budget hotels -- now part of the mammoth Accor chain, the world's third-largest hotel company -- know how to provide a consistent product at dependably inexpensive rates, and this one is very central to San Diego's sightseeing. The modern, four-story motel sits at the western end of Hotel Circle. Rooms are sparingly but adequately outfitted, with standard motel furnishings; bathrooms are perfunctory. Stay away from the loud freeway side -- rooms in the four-story structure in back overlook a scenic 18-hole golf course and river. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant, but a fair steakhouse is across the street.
Marriott San Diego Hotel & Marina
In the prosperous late 1980s, well before San Diego's Convention Center was even a blueprint, this stylish mirrored tower arose. By the time a second tower took shape, adding more rooms and multiple banquet- and ballrooms, the Marriott was a convention center. Today it merely stands next door, garnering a large share of convention attendees. They're drawn to the scenic 446-slip marina, lush grounds, waterfall pool, and breathtaking bay-and-beyond views. The Marriott competes with the newer Grand Hyatt next door, so guests benefit from constantly improved facilities and decor. Leisure travelers can also take advantage of greatly reduced weekend rates and enjoy a free-form tropical pool area (at the edge of downtown!). Note that rooms in the north tower have a (small) balcony; only the suites in the south tower do. Because the Marriott tends to focus on public features and business services, guest quarters are well maintained but plain, and standard rooms are on the small side. Hallway noise can sometimes be disturbing.Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar; 2 lagoonlike outdoor pools; 6 night-lit tennis courts; fitness center; 2 Jacuzzis; sauna; boat rental; bike rental; game room; concierge, tour desk; car-rental desk; business center with secretarial services; salon; 24-hr. room service; coin-op laundry and laundry service; dry cleaning.
Ocean Park Inn
This modern oceanfront motor hotel offers simple, attractive, spacious rooms with contemporary furnishings. Although the inn has a smidgen of sophistication uncommon in this casual, surfer-populated area, you won't find much solitude with the boisterous scene outside. But you can't beat the sand access (directly on the beach) and the view (ditto). Rates vary according to view, but most rooms have at least a partial ocean view; all have a private balcony or patio. Units in front are most desirable, but it can get noisy directly above the boardwalk; try for the second or third floor, or pick one of the three junior suites, which have huge bathrooms and pool views.
