The most convenient (and the most animal print). We have a room block at the Lafayette Hotel for Friday and Saturday nights. It's SUCH a fun spot with three restaurants, multiple bars, a pool, and secret bowling alley slash arcade (where our Welcome Drinks will be!).
The Lafayette Hotel does get a bit rowdy on the weekends so if you're looking for a quieter stay, we recommend checking out the options below.
Right on the ocean and within easy walking distance of plenty of restaurants, bars and shopping, plus only a 20 minute drive to the Lafayette Hotel. We don't have a room block so please book directly via the site below.
More of a downtown feel right in the Gaslamp Quarter with tons of restaurants nearby, a 20 minute walk to the waterfront, and a great rooftop bar. We don't have a room block so please book directly via the site below.
AirBnBs are also a great option. Neighborhoods we like are North Park (where we live), South Park, Hillcrest and Bankers Hill. If you want a gut check on specific spots, please reach out!
