The automobile club, American Association of Retired Persons, or even your employer may have discounted rates established at many of San Diego’s nicest resorts. Another way to save is by booking a longer stay. San Diego is a beautiful place to base the rest of your vacation. Disneyland is a couple of hours away, as is Six Flags Magic Mountain, Universal Studios, Knotts Berry Farm and Amusement Park and many other attractions.

will offer a discount especially if you have a close by competitors rate offer in hand. A quick call to several hotels in an area will provide ammunition to get the best deal from the reservation desk. Although many 4 and 5 star hotels will have higher rates, remember to look for discount packages and stay a while longer. After all, it is your vacation!
