What is the best beachfront hotel to stay at in San Diego?

Q. It seems like the really cheap and run down hotels are on the beach and the higher end hotels are in the city. I'm interested in staying on the beach. Someone told me La Jolla has the best beach and Mission Beach looks heavily populated and not that private. Not sure where to book the hotel. Any information about the area would be helpful.

A. There are lots of great hotels located on the beach. You will also find hotels with oceanviews, but no access to a beach.

My favorite beach hotel is Pacific Terrace. The rooms are nice, customer service is excellent, and it's located right on the beach in Pacific Beach. Hotel Del Coronado is on the beach in an upscale area....nice beach.

Any restaurants near Hotel Del Cornado in SD, CA?

Q. My friend is going to California and staying at the Hotel Del Cornado. The restaurants there in the hotel are too expensive and planning to go to a restaurant that is nearby. Is there any restaurants near Hotel Del Cornado that ranges (for each food) between $3- $15?

A. Your friend can get a $10 lunch at a nearby Coronado cafe, or also, the following are supposedly very reasonably priced:

Spiro's Gyros
1201 1st St
#4
Coronado, CA 92178
(619) 435-1225

Thai Cafe
1201 1st St
Kiosk 5
(between B Ave & C Ave)
Coronado, CA 92118
(619) 522-0217

While looking into this answer, on Yelp, I came across one of the funniest reviews I've seen, this one regarding the restaurant in the Hotel Del Coronado, "I have a review for the restaurant, not the hotel. This restaurant is listed as one in 1000 Places To See Before You Die. But, I think you should put it at the end of your list because after eating here, you might, in fact, die. I am going to make this entry short and sweet. I ordered the seafood. I got food poisoning and was hugging the toilet seat for 8 hours of that night. The end," (Yelp Reviewer.)

What hotel would you recommend I stay at when visiting San Diego?

Q. Any ideas for a reasonably priced but decent hotel in San Diego?

A. Stay in the Downtown area, the Hard Rock Hotel, Ivy Hotel and Hotel Solamar are very trendy and new, with rooftop bars and pools with views of the bay and Coronado. You can take the ferry to Coronado and explore it, which is beautiful, rent a car one day and go to La Jolla and Del Mar.

Hotel del Coronado (in Coronado) and La Valencia are the classics, but are quite expensive.

I wouldn't recommend staying in Mission Valley, although there's lots of hotels around it. It's just that the area is just malls and chain restaurants...you're better off to a neighborhood with a bit more character, like Downtown, La Jolla or Coronado, unless BedBath and Beyond and Bennnigan's count as sightseeing.
